Young Avengers has now reached the first half of its
climatic last stand against Mother, however writing scores well but the art not
so much.
To be fair the writing is not terrible, the dialogue does
sound funny with all the rich teenage geek humor that you can ask for. Best for
readers to keep an eye out for these because sometimes they can be clever even.
And given the sight of the preview pages the fight has yet to get interesting
with some help from our good friends from Avengers Academy. And given Loki`s
situation things are get really dramatic as his dirty little secret may be
revealed.
Now while Mother is a
very threatening villain, she has indeed over stayed her welcome and hopefully the
writer Keiron Gillen can put an end to this.
But the real problem being is the art. While the art is
enjoyable and can go to a certain length to impress or shock, but this is not the
case. How it is impressive how our Young Avengers each battle their personal
foes in their attempt to save Hulkling, however a final fight like this needs
to be visually dynamic or a visual spectacle. However no amount of jagged, overly
dramatic lightning bolts can help given the lack of detailed backgrounds. It
really looks too simple and makes it very disappointing to see a final stand
with such lack of necessary energy.
Although on a funny note, the cover is strikingly similar to DC`s Titans issue #1 ?
Now despite all the hardship Kieron Gillen has put the
Wiccan/Hulkling fans through but in the letters to the editor page he does
state, “All we can do is have hope.”
Overall there is a lot to like but there is equally enough
to disappoint with the art.
And hopefully the Young Avengers can put an end to Mother`s
plan, if Loki isn`t toasted first with what is to come.
