This month`s issue of Young Avengers prepares us for the climax, Mother is just as evil as ever.
Mother`s threat knows no bounds as she sets her sights on our hero`s home dimension with evil versions of our Young Avengers as her army. Along with our hero`s evil exes. Despite not having a story arch she is indeed sparing no expense in her evil ways.
Dialogue wise, this issue has some funny moments with Noh-Var`s beard and Loki admitting to his misdeeds. As well as Mother`s cheerful evil talk. However what dosen`t work is how Prodigy explains their plan. Rather showing how much of a troupe Kieron Gillen`s understanding of teenagers is. But then again the dialogue in this issue also shows each individual`s personalities more in this issue, even very relatable. This was needed considering Kerion Gillen has been trying to balance out each member of the team with each issue, which has been a challenge for him.
A few plot twists here and there with Loki partially revealing the truth to his actions, Mother`s plan and Noh-Var`s secret online chat making, which are very interesting and possibly will be expanded in future stories.
Visually this issue steps up in terms of designs by restoring Loki to his adult form, or rather young adult form. Needless to say this design will be drawing in more female readers to Young Avengers. Our Penciler, Jamie McKelvie and Colorist, Matthew Wilson have been consistently pleasing throughout this entire series run. Despite the ending being a nightmare fuel for any Hulkling fans, be warned of the disturbing images you will see though very few.
Great to see the story finally reaching its climax after seeing such heart breaking events lead up to it, Gillen`s writing actually becoming more interesting and filled with more possibilities and the art work still having its surprising and impressive. Making this comic a very good read for any Young Avengers (or Loki) fans and is not without its merits.
