Young Avengers by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie (and a few friends) comes to an end today, and it also concludes Gillen's Loki story, even more that Journey Into Mystery did The new Loki story picks up in All New Marvel Now Point One today. But before that, we get a revelation. After one or three examples,[...]

Miller, with art by Jorge Jimenez, colors by Carrie Strachan and letters by Saida Temofonte In her regular series, Wonder Woman is the perpetually rash god of war.  Everywhere else, she's just Superman's girlfriend.  In Miller and Jimenez's re-imagining of Wonder Woman's origin for the Smallville universe, the mood is much brighter, and never more than[...]

Young Loki recruits the best of teenage Marvel Everything goes horribly wrong Brawl, run away, fall in love, brawl again, rinse and repeat This is a great comic to introduce the youth in your life into the Marvel Universe, and the trade is so[...]

This Harley Quinn has other means. Even Adventure Time have folk behaving a little too handsy for my liking. Young Avengers shows us another way of dealing with such unwanted affection. Hit #4 has its own ideas as well Hey, it's called "Hit" for a reason. Though someone is happier to give us the case for the defence, in[...]

It should be noted that this conversation took place before the release of this week's Young Avengers #11.

You've mentioned a lot that it's[...]

Shame, I remember when he was a player.. Which doesn't seem to be a problem for the Rat Queens. But is saying "the opposite of war is creation" really a spoiler for Saga? And doesn't that bring us back to Sex Criminals? Or Avengers Philosophise? I've been surviving on meta for the six years, she knows not of[...]

From the opening of Young Avengers #10, out tomorrow We see the malevolent, monstrous Other Mother in the dimension between dimension And some Sandmanesque purple prose to describe her very reality. That prose… it's just so delicious, so tempting, so… I would totally deep fry that caption box in batter, wouldn't you? Young Avengers #10, doing strange[...]

There will be major, massive spoilers in this article for Young Avengers #8 Simply because the only way to explain how Young Avengers got its squee back is to show you I've debated with myself for whole minutes over this and there is no other way. It is possible that, like me, you have been disappointed[...]

Vindication at last! Fatale #15 gave me a sudden flashback to the first book by Ed Brubaker I read, many years ago in his semi-autobiographical Lowlife… Write what you know, I suppose. Young Avengers gives us a take on legacy superheroes – especially relevant given the team's previous pedigree At least I hope he's not talking about Si[...]

But Young Avengers has a go as well Not only do they do a great job of making sub text into text, then commenting on it, having teenagers feeling they are unable to go back home to their folks after being on a big adventure together, and then splitting a double page spread into panels[...]
