Young Avengers #4!!

Young Avengers #4 was a mid-fight issue but at least Hawkeye and Marvel Boy show up and rather dramatically save the group from the disco.   Marvel Boy’s parents arrive and the fight goes on air born and away from the city.  Loki finally talks Wiccan into giving him his powers.  Loki appears to run away leaving the group to fight the evil parental clones. 

Young Avengers #3!!!!

Young Avengers #3 was good.  We got to see a quick fight with Loki’s father the Troll that ended when Miss America showed up.  But as soon as she ended one fight her guardians (parents?) show up wanting to talk.  It appears that along with Loki’s father Miss America’s guardians are also dead.  She allows Young Loki to get the group to safety.  A bit of story catch up occurs and then the Young Avengers are captured by the thing summoned from another world as a cliff hanger.  This was another good issue of the comic I hope the creative team manages to keep the story quality at this level for a while. 

The Young Avengers #2!!

Young Avengers #2 and we are still in setup mode.  I don’t know why the writer decided to spend all that time on introducing the other characters if we are going to just be following these two around.  Though we do get to see this world’s version of the Avengers (apparently) and then the young lovers are saved by Loki.  This Loki is very entertaining and not nearly as evilly chaotic as his other forms.  I especially enjoy Loki’s insistence that Wiccan do something about his possibly offensive to Pagans’ name.  The three of them decide to do something about the evil unleashed on the world, but then for some reason decide to take Loki home to Asgard where they meet Loki’s father and as Wiccan says, “isn’t he dead?”  I guess you just cannot trust Frost Giants to remain dead.  Just to make sure it is clear I did enjoy reading this comic.
