Young Avengers, Volume 1: Style > Substance by Kieron Gillen
2.0
3.5/5
I know about the Avengers because of the movies but the Young Avengers? Who the hell are they? Apparently they are Kate Bishop aka. Hawkeye (the second one or whatever, two people with the same name confuses me) and his hot alien (or is it from another Earth? Man, this stuff is hard to keep track off with newcomers like me)boyfriend... friend with benefits... whatever, Loki who suddenly is a teenager (level with me here, I didn't know him before the Thor movie. Btw, I don't like Tom Hiddleston.), a girl who likes to punch people that looks a lot like the main character in The Wicked + The Divine so my mind is creating as weird crossover and two other dudes, one who is sort of Hulk but less pissed and another that does something cool with dimensions or whatever, you know it better than me!
So of course, all parents break loose (pun intended! even if it's lame) and the Avengies (term of endearment I just made up) have to team up to fix the mess. But everything doesn't just go back to normal which I liked because if there are no consequences, them why the hell did I read the story?
So, it was a bit confusing to know who the characters were and I'm still missing a lot of info but I'll guess I'll know more by volume two. I like that they are relatable teenagers with normal teenage reactions while also being mature when needed. Also, not knowing what the hell is Loki up to was a lot of fun (and he's not Tom Hiddleston in this one!) and I like where the story is going.
P.S.: I can believe the ACTUAL name of a character is Hulkling. You just wanna make us laugh, right?
