    Great start!!

    I have never read any of the Young Avengers books, but was convinced to pick this one up because of all the great reviews.  I must say I am extremely happy I did and cannot wait for the next issue.   

    The Good
    There is really a ton to like in this issue.  First off, the characters are very well written and likable.  I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Wiccan and Hulkling.  Second, the art is very pleasing to the eye.  The people are well drawn and the last page is a pretty cool picture.
     
    The Bad 
    Honestly cannot think of anything particularly bad about the issue.  Loved it tremendously and am looking forward to the bext issues.
     
    Closing out I would say that in my opinion this and the Secret Avengers book by Brubaker are the two best Avengers related titles going now.  If pressed to pick one for someone who can only get one title, I would slightly lean in the direction of this book but would have to see another couple of issues before firming that up.  For only being a single issue in this is shaping up to be a pretty strong title.

It also raises more questions on Scarlet Witch and the depowerisation of mutants, was it really all her doing? or was somebody else involved? - hopefully the climax ...

      Avengers: The Children's Crusade Issue 1 0

      Before I say anything else, let me say this. I LOVE Young Avengers. It is by far one of my favorite comics of all time. The original 12 issues were fantastic, and in fact the first hardcover collection I bought was Young Avengers volume 1. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was for this, and thank the lord, I was not disappointed. Heinberg and Cheung are back, and boy does it feel good.  The issue begins with the Young Avengers fighting the Sons of the Serpent, a group devoted to racial and...
