    The Team to Beat: Avengers-The Children's Crusade #1

    This has been what I have been waiting for with this team.Their team-ups with the Runaways got old and their book getting taken over by another team was pretty weak too.I'm hoping to see some feats in issues to come.I'm in dire need of some credible showings from these characters. I like that they are finally handling the Scarlet Witch situation.I understand why they didn't go at it sooner.If this had happened during Dark Reign or Siege it would have been awful.Seeing speed though reminds me that Marvel is shafting Quicksilver and their opening statements about the Avengers not trusting them reminds me that there is a team of young superheroes being trained after another team was just dismissed and nothing was said about their whereabouts. Overall this book was good especially for a first issue. It showed me what Wiccan can do and his potential.In fact I think I'm starting to like Wiccan now. I'm just waiting for something substantial to happen.The ending begs more questions but I'll wait and see.

The character development of Wiccan is a good story too, exploring his powers more while adding an aura of mystery throughout. It also raises more questions on Scarlet Witch and the depowerisation of mutants, was it really all her doing? or was somebody else involved? - hopefully the climax ...

      Avengers: The Children's Crusade Issue 1 0

      Before I say anything else, let me say this. I LOVE Young Avengers. It is by far one of my favorite comics of all time. The original 12 issues were fantastic, and in fact the first hardcover collection I bought was Young Avengers volume 1. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was for this, and thank the lord, I was not disappointed. Heinberg and Cheung are back, and boy does it feel good.  The issue begins with the Young Avengers fighting the Sons of the Serpent, a group devoted to racial and...
