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

Newsarama's got an interview with the writer, Allan Heinberg, but he doesn't spill too much information about tomorrow's launch. He's another member of the Hollywood influx, so who knows what to expect. But lookit the purty pictures by Jim Cheung...

Just e-mailed my store and had them add this to my pull for tomorrow. I'm intrigued.

Is that Monstress?

Buy a copy and find out for yourself!

No, that's Hulkling. You can read the issue preview here:

Hulkling? Not liking that moniker. And why can't young Thor be a long-blonde haired shirtless surfer dude?

Because Asgardian seems to know the concept of shame?

Yep. It only looked like she was killed. Instead, she was saved by the Time Trapper and sent to the MU to join another group of teen super-heroes.

Nah, they're the New Warriors in different costumes, trying to ride the Bendis wave.

This seems somewhat interesting.

The Hulk has to be a teenage girl right? Him and Thor seem buddy buddy...do they cuddle?

I do like Thor Boy's look. I was hoping he was asian....an asian teenage Thor would be cool. Maybe he's that kid with the legacy virus...Bolt was it?

Not interested in Patriot much. Iron Lad on the other hand...and the Kang mention...interests me alot!

I am sore at Marvel and the Avengers stuff overall but I will get the first trade and if it's good will get more.

Great art. I've always been a fan of Cheung's, but he's gotten a lot more detailed and less stylish - color me impressed. The Hulking does look kinda femimine, facially. I think I read that we've seen at least a few of these guys before. At first I thought "Young Cap" might be Justice (Vance Astro) considering what his future holds as per "Guardians of the Galaxy", but it doesn't look like it from the lack of powers and his attitude.

Not too thrilled about the notion of Kang showing up again - he's as overused as The Time Trapper at this point, though I hope they'll think of something new and interesting this time around (assuming he shows up). It does raise the possibility that Iron Lad's "more advanced" armor is from the future (or that Patriot is from the past ... say WWII??). I almost hope Iron Lad is Machine Man back from wherever the hell he went after X-51, but that's a looooong shot.

The continuity with The Pulse works nicely here. The new Marvel is really the house that Bendis built isn't it?

Someone else thinks that Ironlad is the young Tony Stark that firts appear during the Crossing?

Yeah, that occured to me -- he basically disappeared after the Onslaught thing didn't he? I know there was some convoluted explanation why the real Tony Stark came back (Franklin Richards worked his mojo), but I don't remember what happened to "teen tony". Kang of course was the one who drove Iron Man mad during "The Crossing", hmm......

Current Tony is a amalgam of Old Tony(the dead one), Teen Tony and HR Tony.

I was ambivalent towards this book. It seemed ok, but Marvel's been hit/miss with the Hollywood folks, IMHO, and Heinberg's credits didn't exactly fill me with joy...

I like Jimmy Cheung, so it was on my radar, but likely to be missed, until I saw the first few pages online. The writing really worked for me. I liked the first few pages of YA grabbed me more than any of Bendis' Avengers have.

So, I'm buying it...

And I think Iron Lad is the Vision.

J
Actually likes Kang, so bring him on!

*If* these are characters that we've seen before in the Marvel U, that will probably make me really get into this book.

I like the idea of Iron Lad being the Vision or Machine Man, and Patriot maybe being Vance of GOTG.

Who is Thor Kid then? A young Thor, rebirthed after the events in his book (unlikely). Another Asgardian (young Balder or child of Volstagg?). Probably neither, but maybe there's some type of connection to Thor...

And the art looks stunning. I loved Chueng on Scion, so I'd be definately picking it up just for that. Even though I'm angry at Marvel for what it's done, I'll give this a shot.

For all we know they are all obscure characters from Marvel history. Allen said he read old WCA?

Iron Lad I do think is Teen Tony...but maybe not the Teen Tony we know. He seems like he gathered these guys so picking them from different points in history makes sense.

Wellllll

*SPOILERS*

I love it... very promising book so far. Love the art, love the writing... The characters are interesting and Iron Lad's real ID is....an interesting twist!!!

I've read elsewhere who Iron Lad is...interesting is putting it mildly.

If someone in the know whould like to spoil Ironlad's ID in a PM to me, it would be appreciated

Hmm...must say I,liked what I saw in the preview pages. Don't think I ordered this so hopefully I'll be able to get a reorder.

Spoil it for me too or provide a link!

I can't help myself....

I gotta spoil this...!
