    Marvel Now Has One Up On DC

    I am a loyal Teen Titans fan, but I stopped buying both titles out of protest to DC's HORRIBLE treatment towards the team, the death of Lian Harper, and that moron Deathstroke running his own team. I recently bought the House of M hardcover from the library, and reading someone's description of the Scarlet Witch's situation over and certain parallels of Roy Harper's situation, I decided to try this title. 
     
    Oh my God why I have I not been reading about this time before?! They are everything the Teen Titans should be and more. This is my first impression of the team, but I get the idea that they don't have to deal with being tortured or maimed or killed. They actually act like teenagers that aren't whiny or gigantic jerks. The relationship between Wiccan and Hulkling also adds a special touch, at least to me. 
     
    The Avengers attitude towards their comrade Wanda came off as cold to me. I'm not familiar with the status of how or why her nervous breakdown occurred, but from House of M it's obvious her friends on the team didn't lend enough support to her frail state of mind. Not to mention their attitude towards the Young Avengers was a bit condescending. 
     
    However, I enjoy the team chemistry between the Young Avengers, the art, and the fact that this will finally resolve the problem with the Scarlet Witch.

      This was a good comic, I loved the whole concept of the series and the fact they are exploring the 'Scarlet Witch' storyline after all this time, it's something I've been dying to see for a long, long while. 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...
