Young Avengers, Vol. 1: Style > Substance (2013)

Style > Substance indeed! This book is certainly stylish, even creative, in the way it approaches each page and each panel. The art itself is beautiful, I mean it's just fantastic, I'm a huge fan of McKelvie from here on out. He's very detailed and where most comic artists struggle with faces, in...

Young Avengers, Vol. 2: Alternative Culture (2014)

This volume continued both the things that I enjoyed and the things that bothered me about the previous volume of Young Avengers. It has the trendy social media openers that are informative, but kind of annoying to read. The characters remain somewhat ill-defined, but at least they start to addre...

Young Avengers, Vol. 3: Mic-Drop at the Edge of Time and Space (2014)

Starts super strong, fumbles it in the second volume, a little, and then... fizzle. This one fell so flat for me. Also, what's with the bizarre final issue??? The "nobody is straight" reveal comes out of nowhere, diminishes the notability of the Teddy/Billy relationship, and feels so forced and w...

Mic-Drop at the Edge of Time and Space (2014)

I said a lot depended on how well Gillen and McKelvie could stick the landing, and I think the largely did. The action in the finale seems largely superfluous, as the key to victory lies in a character learning a lesson and taking responsibility. This is the sort of book that hits the climax ea...

Style > Substance (2013)

Like many other reviewers, I started this new Young Avengers after having reading the original by Allen Heinberg. The original- and I know it gets a fair deal of praise but I can’t help it- was excellent. The writing was strong and unique, the characters were all diverse, interesting and establis...

Alternative Culture (2014)

Young Avengers is just fantastic.As the team travel between dimensions trying to escape a threat to all reality, one of them suddenly grows a beard. It's random, hilarious and it's a testament to Kieron Gillen's writing that it just works. Young Avengers continues to balance humour and action in ...

Book

The Wicked + The Divine #1 (2014)

Interesting story, though I can't really relate to being so "obsessed" with a celebrity figure (but I guess fans would "worship" Gods even more so than the celebrities/rich/athletes/etc that our culture thrives on nowadays).Artwork and color is good except for the graphic head explosions with 80'...

Avengers vs. X-Men: Consequences (2013)

There is a certain joy in reading a story out of order and not knowing when you are going to find an unexpected puzzle piece. In this case I still haven't came across the Extinction story in which Scott Summers as the Phoenix Force does what he does. But in this one we get to see Scott Summers be...

Book

The Wicked and The Divine: The Faust Act (2014)

An incredibly interesting idea - love how all the different mythos tied into one. The characters were tangible, and I fell in love with each and every one of them, one panel at a time. On top of that, McKelvie's art is just absolutely stunning, and if it means I get to drool over his work, I'll r...

Phonogram, Volume 2: The Singles Club (2009)

On a roll now with the graphic novels, and this runs The Wicked + The Divine a close second. One club, one night, told from a number of customer's different angles. It helps if you know your female-led bands from the Brit-pop era (Kenickie, New Young Pony Club etc). I love the idea of a number...

Book

The Wicked + The Divine #2 (2014)

This has been a really entertaining read, although I haven't been able to find the first issue of this comic, it wasn't hard to follow - though I suspect that many people would need to read issue 2 if they can't get the first issue rather than just diving right in.It's an interesting read about 1...

Book

The Wicked + The Divine #3 (2014)

I felt as if #3 was extremely lacking in areas where #1 and #2 excelled. I've never been one for extremely lengthy reviews and probably never will be but The Wicked + The Divine was a real let down this time. I'd personally rate it a 2.5In my opinion.. this issue felt rushed and all over the plac...
