Italian review:

Il gruppo degli Young Avengers cerca Wanda Maximoff alias Scarlet Witch, la persona che durante l’evento “House of M” ha perso il controllo dei propri poteri a causa del lutto dopo la perdita dei figli, uccidendo tre avengers e cambiando la realtà pronunciando le parole «no more mutants» privando milioni di mutanti dei loro poteri.
Billy Kaplan alias Wiccan, che possiede i poteri di Scarlet Witch, e Tommy Sheperd alias Speed, che possiede i poteri di Quicksilver, hanno motivo di credere di essere i figli (spiritualmente parlando) di Wanda e per questo sono determinati a trovarla. Con loro gli amici Kate Bishop alias Hawkeye, Eli Bradley alias Patriot, Cassie Lang alias Stature, Teddy Altman alias Hulkling, e Young Vision.
Gli adulti però presenti durante “House of M”, gli X-Men e gli Avengers, vogliono trovare Scarlet Witch per primi per portarla alla giustizia. Riusciranno gli Young Avengers a trovare Wanda e a capire cosa davvero le sia successo?

QUESTO FUMETTO È STATO EPICO!! Ho amato tutto, dai personaggi, alla storia, ai disegni. Sono felicissima di averlo letto.

English review:

The Young Avengers group is looking for Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch, the person who during "House of M" lost control of her powers because of the grief after losing her children, killing three avengers and changing reality by saying the words "no more mutants" depriving millions of mutants of their powers.
Billy Kaplan aka Wiccan, who possesses Scarlet Witch's powers, and Tommy Sheperd aka Speed, who possesses Quicksilver's powers, have reason to believe they're Wanda's children (spiritually speaking) and that's why they're determined to find her. With them are their friends Kate Bishop aka Hawkeye, Eli Bradley aka Patriot, Cassie Lang aka Stature, Teddy Altman aka Hulkling, and Young Vision.
But the adults present during "House of M", the X-Men and the Avengers, want to find Wanda first and bring her to justice. Will the Young Avengers be able to find Wanda and understand what really happened to her?

THIS COMIC WAS EPIC!! I loved everything, from the characters, the storyline, the drawings. I'm so happy I read it.

Super sick art, really beautiful stuff, solid writing, but oh my god I just cannot stand Wiccan. I really enjoy Young Avengers stuff usually, but The Children's Crusade is so skewed towards Wiccan--almost to the exclusion of the other members, I seriously feel like I didn't get to see any of them--that mostly I had to force myself not to keep throwing the book across the room.

There were enough good points to outweigh the issues that always arise from time travel and retconning situations.
Great that there is not one but two gay couples in this run, since Rictor and Shatterstar appear towards the latter stages. (Iceman appears as well, but this is before his sexual awakening).

Great art for the most part (although why did Teddy have black hair in the YA origin recap?).
And a Billy and Teddy on page kiss.

Me encantó. El arte es hermoso y la historia ni se diga. La dinámica de la familia Maximoff es muy interesante de leer y de verdad me quedé con ganas de leer más sobre ellxs, en especial de Wanda.
