Marvel Confirms Gillen and McKelvie on YOUNG AVENGERS

Details on the latest Marvel NOW! title are released.

It's official. Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie will be taking on the YOUNG AVENGERS in their upcoming Marvel NOW! title.

No Caption Provided
This is my chance to take a serious crack at reinventing the Marvel teen super hero for the 21st century,” said writer Kieron Gillen. “So I recruited my favorite collaborators in a Dirty-Dozen fashion, and set about the task. I couldn't be more excited if I was having adrenaline pumped into me intravenously. If the original Young Avengers was about being 16, this is about being 18. It's a small difference, but an important one.

Besides Loki and Ms America, we'll also see Wiccan, Hulkling, Kate Bishop and Noh-Varr. Gillen said in an interview with CBR there will be other characters brought in later but wants a smaller team than what he had on UNCANNY X-MEN.

Each issue will feature special augmented reality content through the Marvel AR app.

YOUNG AVENGERS #1

Written by KIERON GILLEN

Art by JAMIE MCKELVIE & MIKE NORTON

I hope Patriot and Speed return soon! Sigh, what I loved about YA was their amazing chemistry. But, just like the teen titans, no matter how many roster changes this team gets, there will always be chemistry.

@Outside_85: Actually the young avengers have always been like the teen titans in that they were always separate from their senior team (i.e. the avengers), and, just because the titans were first doesn't mean the YA were complete copies of them.

Even thought its not the original team or Jim Chueng or Allen Heinberg ill give it a shot. i mean these were the first comic books i ever bought, so im sort of attatched to the series. So...don't *mess* it up. But otherwise, i can't wait.

so glad they finally got an ongoing but i will miss the whole team being together. and since they are throwing in miss america from the Teen Brigade, instead of having Noh-Varr (who was/is an avenger) they should have Ultimate Nullifier. he has a cool design and screams team leader. now just have to wait for the return of the Runaways

Oh and Marvel should do more teen books but not as bad as DC's current run on Teen Titans and Ravagers.

I can't wait for this especially 'cause of Loki! Though, I'm not very comfortable with the art yet, but let's see :D

@PassionFlower: I totally agree, I loved Patriot and Speed, they added conflict and moved the plot forward. I miss the diversity with Patriot. :( That Latina Miss America looks promising.

@Mr. Kamikaze: I agree I'm excited about Thunderbolts and Young Avengers. Although where is Patriot and Speed? Kid Loki is Loki reincarnated? Wiccan is already on team they need two sorcerers? Or I guess they look at Loki as being an Asgardian?

Loki cannot use spells right now.

I was wondering about that.

@deadpool25mm: what's exactly is human about not reading a book because of some (probably minor) homosexual themes? Not reading a book entirely because of this is called discrimination I bet back in the 70s, some racists were like "oh, there's a black guy in the ensemble cast of this book, forget that trash."

I'm really, really excited about this, but man, no Patriot? He was my favorite of the original YA.

EDIT: from the interview:

[Miss America] looks great and Patriot was basically unavailable.

Lame. Well, what about Rikki Barnes, Nomad? I liked her. I guess she wasn't a "super cool mysterious chick" though.

No clue who most of those characters or the creative team is but this many positive comments rate it as something to check out in my book.

As upset as I was with the announcement of Avengers Arena, is as ecstatic as I am for the announcement of Young Avengers. I miss these characters so much, and the inclusion of Noh-Varr and Kid Loki will certainly shake things up a bit. Stature died and Patriot quit and I'm willing to let that sink in a bit, but I hope Speed makes his way back into this book soon. Between this and New Avengers starring Black Panther I am totally back on board for Marvel Now!

i love the fact they're bringing back Young Avengers after a far too long hiatus, but i am confused about a few things. mainly about why noh-var, an ex-avenger, and traitor, would be brought on a team full of teens? loki i get, ms america i just hope is interesting, and kate bishop i guess will be pulling double-time between this and hawkeye. otherwise the only thing left to say is i hope we get the rest of the team we all know.

This looks great, Marvel NOW! sounds like it's doing a damn good job focusing on every title individually despite the massive amount of titles that are brand names or the fact that most of the books are team books.
