Series: Young Avengers Vol. II
by Author Kieron Gillen
Alternative Culture (2014)
Young Avengers is just fantastic.As the team travel between dimensions trying to escape a threat to all reality, one of them suddenly grows a beard. It's random, hilarious and it's a testament to Kieron Gillen's writing that it just works. Young Avengers continues to balance humour and action in ...
Style > Substance (2013)
Like many other reviewers, I started this new Young Avengers after having reading the original by Allen Heinberg. The original- and I know it gets a fair deal of praise but I can’t help it- was excellent. The writing was strong and unique, the characters were all diverse, interesting and establis...
Mic-Drop at the Edge of Time and Space (2014)

Young Avengers, Vol. 2: Alternative Culture (2014)

Young Avengers Style > Substance (2013)
Aweeesomme. Very funny. Didn't understand half of what was going on, but still very funny
Young Avengers, Vol. 1: Style > Substance (2013)
Style > Substance indeed! This book is certainly stylish, even creative, in the way it approaches each page and each panel. The art itself is beautiful, I mean it's just fantastic, I'm a huge fan of McKelvie from here on out. He's very detailed and where most comic artists struggle with faces, in...
