rickjones 's review for:

Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways by Zeb Wells, Stefano Caselli
1.0

The highlight of this comic is undoubtedly Tommy adopting the role of being Molly's big brother and feeling responsible for her safety after having met her for only a few hours at the most, but the rest is hardly worth reading.

As a whole the volume isn't very enjoyable or important to Civil War's plot. However that's not really a surprise, all the spin-offs involved were clearly a shallow cash grab since they're not necessary to understanding the main story and literally nobody wanted to see this level of shit go down between heroes they like.

Also I have to call out that all the gay characters were collected up and made to suffer by being mortality injured and given no medical care, being tortured or being forced to watch these things happen to their loved one. Not sure why that needed to be included since it was all made redundant in the end, besides the continuing trauma at least one of them definitely faced going forward.
