Despite the name, this book has plenty of both style and substance. Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie approached their run on Young Avengers as a metaphor. It's the experience of being 18, through the lens of superheroes. This means there's a lot of fun stuff going on. The dialogue is sharp and clever, and each character has a distinct personality. The art is just as sharp; McKelvie's great at capturing expressions. There's also at least one awesomely creative layout in each issue.This book is very much of the time. Its critics often accuse it of "pandering to Tumblr," but where they see it as a bad sign, I see it as a bit of a plus. This is a comic about teenage superheroes - pop culture references make sense. And it's all just a lot of fun. I loved this series.
I really wish there was a way to give half stars on here. I feel like I've been giving out a ton of four stars lately. But what I really want to do is give this and others three and a half stars and I feel like I'm cheating them if I only give them three stars. So four stars it is.Anyways, about the actual book. I'm really liking the team so far. Also, there were some really well done spreads in this volume. Definitely continuing this one.
I want to be America Chavez when I grow up.
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO AWESOME
I'm mostly in this for Loki
