Young Avengers: Style > Substance Review



Finished reading Young Avengers: Style > Substance this begins a new storyline for the Young Avengers as they reform with a few new additions. The book opens up with Kid Loki meeting with the dimension hopping hero Miss America asking for her help to get rid of Wiccan only for Miss America to start fighting Loki. After fighting off a couple of armed robbers Hulkling heads back home where his boyfriend Billy catches him causing an argument as they both agreed to stop being heroes. Trying to make up for the argument Billy uses his powers to bring back Teddy's mum back from the dead while Miss America is fighting Kid Loki on the roof leaving Loki unable to stop the spell allowing an extra-dimensional parasite to appear in the form of Teddy's mother which begins to take over the control of Billy's parents and other adults in the area even going as far as bring back Loki's farther Laufey from the dead when Teddy, Billy and Loki head to Asgardia for help. Once Miss America races to Asgardia to defeat Laufey her parents appear leading Loki to teleport the team into a night club where all of their parents show up as Kate Bishop and Marvel Boy blast their way in after losing the trail of Skrulls perusing them as they save the others and leads the parasite to Central Park for one final concentration. Overall this was a good book as it catches up on where each character has been since they were last seen. While Loki is the brake out character as he brings some great comedic moments while still being the jerk he's known to be. 7/10.
