I didn't think I'd enjoy an Avengers comic involving Hank Pym, Tigra, Justice, Speedball, Quicksilver, and a bunch of original teen heroes as much as I did. Decently well handled with a good set-up.

This is a really great series, and not a bad starting point for someone entering into the Marvel universe without a ton of Avengers knowledge. Most of the existing characters' backstories are explained (and for any additional info needed, Wikipedia is more than sufficient), and the stars of the show are starting from scratch anyway.
It's your typical super heroes academy story with a twist: These aren't the best of the best, but instead, they have the potential to be the worst of the worst. This makes for some seriously interesting interpersonal dynamics and emotional arcs for the teenage characters. Right up there with Young Avengers in terms of the best YA super hero stories I've read.

I think this has the potential to be a good series, but I just couldn't get into it. Lots of new characters, lots of background and ultimately I found it to be muddled and little long-winded. I know there has to be a certain amount of exposition with any new series, but I wasn't able to get past it for these characters.

Great start of the series.
Each book of the volume starts with some information about one of the new heroes.
I loved Finesse, the one "non-powered" individual.
I small ding in that they mention that Reptile and Tigra have history but it wasn't until I read the profiles at the very end of the volume that it tells me where to find that. When did the comics stop putting the editor notes in it.
Reptile was a pretty great character for someone that started out as an annoying comedy relief on the Marvel Superheros cartoon.

The perils of letting stuff too long on the to-read list is sometimes you go back to something you added ages ago and realize you’ve seen it done better.

I think this series has potential (and I enjoy the artwork style) but I’m not really invested in any of the characters yet. Hopefully that changes over the next couple of volumes.

Six teens with super powers are in the Avengers new training program, but will they become heroes or villians? Only time will tell, and well with the proper training. Excellent story introducing these new characters to the Marvel universe.

This was awesome! I love reading about teenagers with superpowers (who doesn't want superpowers?) and this introduced some great new characters. All the characters got their own spotlight in each issue.
Can't wait to read the next volume.
Also I feel like I should mention that THERE'S A GUY WHO CAN TURN INTO DIFFERENT KINDS OF DINOSAUR!
