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.

@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."

@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.

@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.

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

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

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

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.

@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.

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.
