Definitely missed something critical here, because I've definitely never heard of Norman Osborn's Avengers. Interesting story, though. Some nice internal conflict with some of the characters, especially The Melter. Would love to see more of the Young Avengers!
I'm going through a list of Kate Bishop's essential readings and this was on it so, yeah... I have no idea what I just read tbh 😅
SYLVIE? STANDING OVATION FOR MY PRINCESS
I am not a fan of the Dark Reign stuff. Not at all. I only read this because I've gotten absurdly attached to the Young Avengers team. It wasn't terrible, which is what I'd been afraid of. But the majority of the book focuses on the new "Young Avengers" (who aren't exactly Osborn certified, so I don't know what they were thinking) that pretty much show up out of nowhere. Naturally, like with other Dark Reign imposter teams, most of the new, fake Young Avengers mirror the real Young Avengers. The...
What even the hell was this?
cishet men shouldn’t have anything to do with characters that are queer/women because they prove again, and again, that they don’t know what they’re doing. this contributed less than nothing. that enchantress/wiccan bullshit??? the way all the women are drawn??? and don’t even get me started on egghead and big zero.
(I'm doing a Young Avengers reread! See my reading guide to the Young Avengers, which also links to my other Young Avengers reviews, over here.)I was reluctant to reread this as part of my Young Avengers reread because I remembered it being a. gross and b. incoherent, and I was right on both counts.The gross: Basically, Norman Osborn (who currently runs the evil version of the Avengers) set up a new Young Avengers team and the actual Young Avengers decide if they have to team up with them. This
Dark Reign was pretty awful, often cringe worthy, and failed to accomplish whatever it is they were hoping to do with it. Maybe if the series was longer and spent more time on how the Young Avengers felt about the new team and themselves it would have been much better. Over all it fell flat and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that enjoys Young Avengers.
Second read 2021: reading because of Sylvie/Enchantress and the Disney+ Loki show. Gave one extra star this time (3 instead of 2). I've read a lot more of the dark reign since then and it makes more sense, still has some shitty slurs and probably needs an extra three issues of backstory alone. I like the Young Avengers, a lot. But this was just super triply and not all that interesting.
This is my least favorite Young Avengers comic so far. I haven't read anything that came out after this yet, obviously, but I doubt anything that happened in here will be important to the team in future issues.
This book is batshit, crossing the innocence of the Young Avengers with the casual brutality of The Boys, with startling effect. Inconsequential of course, but hey we got Sylvie out of the deal so totally worth the price of admission.
I feel like this is under appreciated, not great but pretty good. It had a lot to say without trying to get too stuck in the minutiae. I wish more had been done with these characters than the few spotty appearances they got.
I love the Young Avengers. I love them as much as I loved the early issues of Geoff Johns' Teen Titans, and that's saying something. Great characters and some great team interactions. Characters who obviously care about each other. That said, this one.. had its problems. It's part of Dark Reign, so that's one of the reasons. There's a new group of young superheroes calling themselves Young Avengers, but they're not all that heroic. That, of course, means conflict with the original Young Avengers...
a hot mess
no.
This not blew my mind at all. I kinda liked the new young avengers team (not all members). I don't know if I like Patriot... he's so "im perfect. you are wrong!"Overall didn't bring much to the table. It was just ok. it was like the previous book i read from the YA: "Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers". The focus of the story its more on other team instead of YA.
It's a really interesting experience when you very much do not like something you read and then come on Goodreads and realize that you've actually read the thing before (no memory of this) and you apparently absolutely loved it at the time (I'm sorry what). Idek.
Lost and confused, which is kind of what you get with a Marvel Universe event like Dark Reign when it falls on a book like Young Avengers. It is still a Young Avengers story, character and backstory driven. But these other Young Avengers come out of nowhere and they just aren't very interesting.
First we're introduced to a New Young Avengers team, while interesting characters, not interesting enough to warm up to. Basically the flaws in each character brings a big twist to your normal superhero. Our leader, who questions himself also lets little moral, ethic decisions his team makes, slide on every occasion. When our Young Avengers team that we all know and love show up, the premise and melodrama of most of the series is about the handling of this rookie team (who look up to the og team...
What a weird time to be in the MCU! Norman Osborn is the Trump figure no one wanted but yet was still put in charge. To horrific results. This series showed the real Young Avengers as both legitimate heroes trying to be adults and stop a fake team from using their name to do wrong, and also, showed them as naive enough to buy obvious lies. The fake team was obviously full of violent offenders. The best part was Patriot punching Osborn’s Iron Patriot to the ground. The YA held their own against m...
