Things quickly turned sour for me, for a number of reasons (many related to Howard Mackie) and I dropped the book before issue #4. Will this final issue satisfactorily wrap things up with a big ol’ bow? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

Or – “I’ve Always Been A Sucker For A Good Teenage Heroes Book…” When Young Avengers #1 came out, I was struck by how much more I liked it than the previous volume of the series (which, to be honest, I liked quite a lot.)
