i loved xavin on this one so much
It's odd that Marvel didn't choose to capitalize on Secret Invasion to try and push sales for Runaways and the Young Avengers. Here we have a planet-wide invasion of Earth fromt he Skrull Empire, and there are two ongoing team books where one member of the team is a Skrull: one who is believed to be some sort of messianic Savior by his people, and the other an exiled Royal Prince. How these two characters don't get the spotlight in this story line shows a fundamental disconnect between proper wo...
I enjoy both teams of characters in here, but unfortunately neither group stood out in this mini colab. Trying to have a whole invasion, backstory for the invasion, and giving all the characters from the Young Avengers and Runaways enough screen time in a trade that's less than 100 pages is a pretty hard feat. One that didn't quite hit the nail on the head in this. Both teams have quite a few characters with big personalities, so these cross overs never really do justice to any of them. Still, i...
Another tie-in crossover with decent plot, script, etc., just not enough room to be a great story in itself.
My West Coast Avengers obsession lead to a Scarlet Witch obsession which has lead to an obsession with her son, Wiccan, and that lead me to read this, The Young Avengers. This was my first encounter with the team, and in this graphic novel they are also paired with a group called "The Runaways," which was way too many characters for me to keep track of for a first time reader! I started with this book because it was the first one the library had available. I liked what I understood, and look for...
Well, it was ok, but it was hardly interesting. It just seems like two teams (maybe the only two?) who have regular Skrull members should have been a much more important part of the Skrull invasion, instead of being pushed off to the sidelines. Likely not necessary for the Secret Invasion storyline. And since I have no intention of reading Secret Invasion, I'm pleased to note that it isn't necessary to get what's going on here. What's there to understand? Skrulls invade, because that's basically...
i don’t think the runaways are ever written to their full potential in these crossover events. focusing on the 2 parties really does a disservice to both the young avengers and the runaways. also the artist did teddy SO dirty.
Mostly plot, very little character development. Not much of the quirky charm usually associated with either group of teen superheroes. Sigh.
Solid. World: The art is fine. It's stylish and fun making this pleasing to the eye. It's not the best, but it did it's job well. I hate tie in books but this was handled well. It feeds off the main story but also made it a personal tale to the character by setting up a world that mattered to the Runaways and Young Avengers. Solid. Story: Deceptively emotional. Having Xavin and Hulkling in the story really grounded the story emotionally and made for a better story. This three issue arc moves fas...
As far as I understood what was happening, this was good. It sparked some interest in the Young Avengers that I may eventually act on. Or not. There was a very helpful section at the end that provided detailed histories of all the players, and with that, I’ve finally gotten enough review on the Runaways. More and more, I feel like I would need to dedicate my life to all things Marvel to follow every connection portrayed in these books. And I’m not planning to do that. But I think now I’m armed w...
2.5 its not bad but..... waste of time sorry :S
well... this sucked until the last panel😩
A lot just happened very quickly. That’s what I get for reading tie ins before the actual event…
Took a whole star down because the illustration wasn’t what I was used to and the characters were kinda unrecognisable and it just icked me wrong :/
A big event tie in book that actually makes sense to have. Both the Runaways and the Young Avengers have members who are skrulls. Since Secret Invasion is about skrulls invading earth, this makes complete sense. The other members of the teams get very little page time. This isn't a bad story, but there's no real resolution. They fight one guy and then it's over but it's not really clear how this fits back into the main book. The art is OK, but a little too much manga influence for me. The charac...
It was a nice nice story, even though it's too short and it left me in suspense at the end. But well, I really liked it. And the art in this one omg, it's so beautiful, I'm in love with the style of the eyes, it reminds me of anime idk why.I'm always glad to read crossovers between Young Avengers and the Runaways I wish there were more.
not bad, in fact i really enjoyed it because i love this runaways/young avengers crossovers. i wish this had been longer though.
The story was fine, but the conclusion was well. Inconclusive.
I get the feeling that Marvel doesn't know what to do with the Young Avengers, and the Runaways storyline was kind of played out by this point, so these crossovers are not as good in practice as they are in theory. It's a shame because they should be a lot more fun than they are.
Not a bad book if you know beforehand that this is just a filler to ensure that Runaways/Young Avengers were part of the Secret Invasion timeline. Surprised at the lack of depth of the book, considering that two of the characters had Skrull blood in them, you'd expect that they would have a bigger role to play.It's also interesting to note that no other superheroes popped up. If you're a bigger fan of the Young Avengers, then be prepared to be under-represented, it seemed that the Runaways had a...
