2018 Reread: I still love this comic! It's so fun and the characters are great. Some favourite parts:
- Noh-varr's music choices
- also his dramatic entrance/exits
- the ART
- "Come with me if you want to be awesome"
- any time America punches someone
- the scarlet mom
- Billy's dramatic af creation of his new costume
- Kate
Since reading this in 2015 I've read most of the original Young Avengers run and parts of the new Hawkeye comics with Kate and all that context just made me love it even more.
2015:
I LOVED THIS. That is all.

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.

This is volume 1 containing issues 1-5 of the Young Avengers comic book series, but there is a older version of the Young Avengers from 2005/6 that might be helpful to read first. The whole of the first 5 issues read like one chapter of a novel.

A dun start to the series, but panders a bit much. Can't be mad because I am the audience they're pandering to. My fav avengers team, the others don't exist to me.

Summary:
Sometimes, there are heroes who have the power to change the world. Sometimes, that power shouldn't be used. Take this recent adventure, which was all caused by Wiccan trying to undo a loss from a few years ago.
Only for this sweet thought to be turned on its head. Now the Young Avengers are scrambling, and they're fighting the most unlikely of foes – their parents? Sort of?
Review:
Okay, okay, I've been meaning to read Young Avengers for WAY too long. I'm finally fixing that mistake by diving into Young Avengers Vol. 1. Thus far; I can already tell that the series is worth the hype (and the accidentally long wait).
The characters alone make this a fun adventure. We have Wiccan and Hulkling (love them), Kate Bishop and Marvel Boy, Ms. America, and finally, Kid Loki. It may not be a combination readers expected, but man, does it lead to some fun-fueled chaos! Granted, with Kieron Gillen at the helm, I expected nothing less. I love his writing. Combine that with Jamie McKelvie's illustrations, and you've got the perfect storm, comically speaking.
It felt like two plots were running through this volume. The first is the parent-focused chaos resulting from Wiccan's spell. The second is whatever Kid-Loki is actually up to. I'm looking forward to seeing how the latter plays out.
Long story short – I'm happy to finally be reading Young Avengers, and I can't wait to dive into the second volume.
Highlights:
Young Superheroes
Marvel teens: Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Hulkling, Marvel Boy, Kid Loki, Ms. America
Magical shenanigans

This book is super fun but also super serious in a very particular way. It actually feels like being inside a teenager's head, without quite so much melodrama--that is, it's a little more Freaks and Geeks than it is Degrassi. Also, Kate Bishop's "metaphor!" refrain is absolutely appropriate, but it's metaphor well-down.
