Really don't like "Patriot" as a name tho.

Isn't Kang's history complicated enough without adding a period as Kang before he becomes Rama-Tut?

I kinda liked they old costumes more but I guess I have to see them in better detail. Now how about that Runaways crossover!

I'm really gonna miss Kate's Mockingbird mask.

Kudos to giving Cassie one though.

"Stature"? puke

She kind of looks like the Ultimate version of Hawkingbird now, what with the sunglass/googles and purple latex/leathery suit.

Stature isn't really doing it for me either. Not really sure what else to call her, though. Maybe Tiny Titan smile

But now that he ain't Asgardian any longer...and never seemed to have any real ties to Asgard I guess it's a non issue. Pretty ironic though.

"Genie" is great. Very campy Barbara Eden possibilities.
Maybe he's Scarlet Witch's lost sons? Well, 1 of them anyway. (Then Magneto can be Anti-M or something)
Then Hulkling can be Lyja's almost-child from her Fantastic days!

Oh, and we get an explaination for why the Vision's been talking and acting so oddly. Bad news Vision fans...

I think I must be an issue behind. Did the new issue come out this week? The last one I have is issue #6, the conclusion of the initial Kang arc.

Thanks D-Boy and 'Boot. Hmmm... not sure what I think about that Patriot secret. Wonder where they'll go with that?

This sucks... now I'll have to wait until next week (after the convention) to get it frown Young Avengers is just about the only title that I anxiously await each month smile

Mmm. Finally read it. Muy interesante. The right combination of humor and drama. I enjoyed it muchly. ^_^ The Vision made me particularly happy. But, then, I wasn't really a fan before.

I couldn't resist... I picked this up at the convention smile

Not a bad issue, although I missed the regular artist (Cheung?... I'm horrible with names). LovedLovedLoved the scene with Billy's parents. If only it could always be that way.

I know Cap means well, but hes really getting on my nerves. I'm ready for the Old Avengers to get back to their own book.

Looking forward to seeing the next issue!

Loved it as usual. Even the fill-in didn't horrify me but I *LOVE* the regular art-guy.

The parental/coming-out scene was tops cute.

Loved the issue as well. I agree about the scene with Billy's parents--very cute. I'm loving all the interaction so far and can't wait for Young Vision to hook back up with the kids.

Still Marvel's best comic book.

And New Vision finally shows a personality... and it's Iron Lad's. Most of the rest you can probably guess smile

...a tad disappointing. Big-time fans of Mr. Hyde would probably get a kick out of the extended fight scene. I didn't, particularly.

I liked the little touches like Stature growing in proportion to her emotions. Billy makes a good showing, though I miss the helmet wings and still dislike WICCAN as a codename.

Is the condition that Cassie's mother mentions a part of the character's history pre YA? If not, is there a chance she's making it up?

So Vision retain Iron Lad's memories, emotions, etc.... How long before he goes into conquering Kang-mode? Sigh. Is there any of Simon Williams/old Vision in there? I hope there is and that Cap, etc. will back and let Viz play guardian because I'm already tired of these 'stand down, kids' scenes.

Hank Pym should make an appearance soon, if he can be pried away from THUNDERBOLTS. And a HULK appearance would seem inevitable. Who else should appear? BLACK WIDOW, maybe? THOR, when he comes back.

I liked the Vision/Patriot scene. That timestream crack was funny.

I'm not going to comment about the Patriot/drug thing until it plays out. My initial impression isn't very positive. But that's really in a larger context. In terms of this story, the presentation works well.

I dunno why, but I like the Wiccan code-name. I like saying it. Wiccan, Wiccan, Wiccan. Try it, Todd, it might help it to grow on you. smile

re: Cassie's heart condition, yes, it is very much a pre-established part of her continuity AND the reason Scott Lang became ANT-MAN, as stated in this issue. See MARVEL PREMIERE # ...oooh, I'm wanting to say maybe 48 or so. Drawn by John Byrne back when he was really fresh and drawing lots of different Marvel stuff.

I myself and very interested to see where this Patriot/superhero-drugs thing goes. I think it's an interesting storyline.

And the art was just fine but I really really REALLY want the other guy back now.

I tried it, Lash, and now I have a twig with the words 'Wiccan, Wiccan, Wiccan' on it growing out of my head.

Darn you and your impossible-to-resist directions!

Still doesn't make me like the name any better-- but *OUCH*, that made the twig grow out another inch.

The Cassie/Scott Lang sounds familiar- thanks for reviewing it for me.

As I said, I think the way Patriot's story is written is compelling. I'm just not sure that making the black guy rely on drugs is a good idea. Notice I ain't saying he's an addict- though some are jumping to that conclusion.

Don't think there's any of oldVision in there, no. It's not Ultron-5 --> Ultron-6, more Captain America --> USAgent-as-Cap. Same look, different guy.

'Sides, oldVision was hardly Wonder Man In Robot Mode to start with. It was a very loose template, plus he had at least one other set of brain patterns (Alex Lipton, a dead cop) and Android Human Torch residue floating around too. Maybe you'll get lucky and newVision'll evolve into something very like oldVision in an example of convergent evolution smile

This series is reminding more of "Slingers" - especially now that one of them has a "dark secret origin". Unfortunately, another reason it's reminding me of "Slingers" is that it's a series whose appeal lies largely on the art. "Slingers" had CrissCross and his absence in that series was just as deeply felt as Cheung's absence is from this one, imo -- not just for the art, but because the artists were able to create that emotional bridge between the new characters and the reader. If Cheung leaves, I'm not sure this title is interesting enough for me to continue (and I still liked "Slingers" more than "YA")
