Young Avengers, Volume 2: Family Matters by Andrea Di Vito, Allan Heinberg, Jim Cheung
5.0

I can't for the life of me figure out why this title was canned? This was great.

First two issues focus on Patriot and his story. Finding out maybe he's not so much like his grandpa in the end. It's pretty touching, and brutally sad at points. Then we get the second half of the story which is mostly about Hulking and his "destiny" being two different races. The Kree and the Skrull come to take what they think is there's. We also get some new members here, background on Kate and the rest, and overall just some really great stuff.

These kids feel real. That's the biggest plus to it all. Almost more family but working together as a unit. Better than most do, and the best I read since maybe New Warriors back in the 90s. I really dig them all together, the storylines are fun and exciting, and the only negative is that it ends here the main first run. It's not fair!

A 4.5 out of 5.
