Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Young Avengers

Jessica Jones in YA hasn't actually been that key a figure. She was kind of a way in to the story, and she's been there with Cap and Iron Man but I don't think she's going to be all that important in the long run. They certainly seem to be setting up Vision as being the mentor of the group, and I'm sure Cap and other adult Avengers will turn up from time to time, but I don't think Jessica has been given enough screen time in the last two issues for her to become a key player. I could be completely wrong about that though.

#3 I loved. The art just gets better and better and the characterisation is great. Hulkling and Asgardian, even if they aren't a couple, are quickly becoming two of my favourite comics characters (which is funny because Thor and Hulk have always left me cold) and the girls look like they're going to just as good. Patriot is interesting, although possivly he needs to be taken down a peg or two to avoid him becoming annoying. I think I've decided now that New Avengers is ging to be dropped from my pull list and YA will take it's place.

Do it Bevis! Drop New Avengers! With YA and Ultimates who needs Bendis' elseworld?

DAMN, this book is HOT!!!

# 3 was awesome!

I **love** who Patriot really is, that was a top-notch idea.

Humour, faboo art, intriguing devlopments-- Yep, this book is as awesome as the 70s TEEN TITANS, the early NEW WARRIORS, and the (insert your favorite issues of your favorite series here)! (!!!!!)

So, does the cape confirm what many thought would happen?

(I'll replace the image when a better copy becomes available)

ok someone spill, who is really patriot?

The grandson of Isaiah Bradley, the 'original, first' Captain America.

Still trying to figure out who Asgardian is, myself! Seriously, if I don't know that name, NO ONE will be able to off the top of their head

Cool. In hindsight that makes sense. Thanks LL!

for #4!

i hope her name is not hawkingbird. but i want to see what gadgets she found. and for her to have a real costume.

is jewel a real character? if so what are her powers?

Here's a larger look at the cover for issue #7.

I hope they don't change his colors again, as this cover suggests! His original look is TOO classic!!

Very nice cover! Hmm are they downloading Iron Lad's brainwaves into the Vision? Or did Iron Lad build a new android? Cool.

It's Kangboy's (red and silver) armour.

Vision's "software" is already in Kangboy's armour, downloaded by Kangboy when he found Vision's mangled corpse lying in a warehouse, but it's not active.

The YA6 cover makes it look very like Kangboy is kaput.

The current theory is that Vision's mind is undamaged, despite Disassembled, and takes over Kangboy's armour when Kangboy dies.

Capiche?

Hang on a second! :stop:

Kangboy can't die. If he does, it would mean there would be no Kang The Conqueror.

A Vision/Iron Lad-Kangboy hybrid? Not so sure I like this. We'll see how this plays out before I start screaming, though. This book has been great so far so I'll give it a chance...

I really enjoyed the revelation that the guys have different powers and were basically just masquerading as the original founders.

I LOVED Jessica taking the gun from Kang. Keep her on as an advisor.

I'm hoping that the Vision personality will continue on in Iron Lad's armor -but with a slight mind-wipe -so he's starting from scratch. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED Viz and Wanda together but they've been screwing that up for years and its gotten tiresome. Let's give him a fresh start (away from Byrne).

I did not like the small idea that KangKid only got characters from Viz's protocols because that would mean the Viz would have known about Patriot -does anyone else see that as flawed?

This book is one of my faves right now -maybe my absolute fave. A nice substitute for the replacement Legion that I still haven't completely warmed up to.

I didn't see if anyone mentioned it, but the last 2 letters pages have been concentrating on the topic of homosexuality -but there was also a small article in the Advocate about it. Kinda neat, huh?

The Vision is the Batman of the Marvel Universe

reboot thanks. So it appears the good ole Vizh brainwaves have found a new body.

Don't know what to think of this. On one side I love it that it's different and the old "he's back just like before...good old Vizh." I hate that. Busiek had a knack for it and Geoff Johns is developing one as well. Develop the character right back to what he was before? eh.

On the not so good side...the Vision was already confusing as hell. I was hoping for a much more streamlined newer version. Inhabiting the the armor of Iron Lad who is really a younger version of Kang after his former body was destroyed...being a chrono-clone (ugh) of the original Human Torch with 3 different brain patterns...well kids it's not the easiest history to understand.

Still it's exciting. The Vision with new powers same brain! good idea.

I want to re-emphisise the "current theory" and "might be leading us up the figurative garden path" aspects of this idea, BTW.

Yeah. Crap, ain't it.

So what do you think Billy/Asgardian's 'other' super-powers are? I'm kind of disappointed that
he might not be connected to Asgard, somehow. I wonder if Billy knows that Thor and co. are all 'dead'?

This issue's big reveal of Hulkling's power as a shapeshifter was a nice surprise. Mimicking different Avengers would be a nice motif for this character... in a couple of months he can be 'Beastling', then 'Ms.ter Marvel', then 'Quickling' etc.

I can't decide if I think 'Hawkingbird' is so kitschy it's cool, or so achingly bad that I never want to see it uttered again. What do you think? I like Kate Bishop, though.

I'm ready for Cap, Iron Man, and Jessica Jones to go on about their business now. Let the stories of the YOUNG AVENGERS take center stage. I want to see how they go about things in a less stressful situation, without their heroes peering over their shoulders. One, or occasionally two, of the 'senior members' can appear at a time, I suppose.

Anyway, this title continues to be a treat that I didn't expect and enjoy all the more for that.

I'm wondering if Billy _is_ Thor. We've all heard the rumors that the Asgardians are supposed to return as teenagers. Maybe this is a start. Note that he has a cane like Donald Blake, which is particularly odd since no one would associate Thor with that cane. He's also got the lightning and, it seemed, some sort of teleportation power (like Mjolnir had). Asgardian being Thor is a possibility.

This book is so amazingly good. Part of it is because expectations were so low, it would have to really try to dash them. The other is just how well it's written, using continuity, and with rather well-defined characters so far, IMO.

Loving Kate, and "Hawkingbird" has just the right ring to my ears. Although grabbing dead heroes weapons is kinda asking for it.

Hawkingbird isn't actually used in the comic is it? That is horrible.

Ohwell this book still rocks it seems.
