Young Avengers v2 #1 Discussion

So I said I wanted a discussion post with comment threads, which I guess means I get to make it, but I'm lazy so I'm just crossposting from my tumblr.

Pacing, panel flow and composition feel really off and there are weird style choices.

I want to love the new characters but we see them for like three pages each and I'm left underwhelmed. I want more of Miss America. My favorite part of the whole issue is her threatening Loki.

When did Loki start saying things like "terribad?"

Teddy-as-Spider-Man is such a geeky thing and I laughed. :)

Billy's terribly exaggerated facial expressions and new hair style bother me. Billy, you're cute, but CALM DOWN and lay off the hair gel! The whole Billy/Teddy scene was a bit overdramatic and felt like three conversations smushed into one. But Teddy is so adorable and perfect omg. Stay perfect forever, Teddy!

I was not expecting that ending AT ALL WTF KAPLANS. BILLY, STOP TRYING TO FIX THINGS.

I think Loki talked like that in JiM, from what I remember.

I vote for Teddy taking over as the new Spider-Man!

Billy really needs a common-sense checker. He should run all of his bright ideas by Kate first, and if she says no they're out.

So you're saying that Billy needs a beta-reader for his life? I think that's a Very Good Plan. XD

[jetdragon]

Heck, *I* could use a life beta. Kate can be his Sassy Straight Friend.

Oh. Oh yes. Teddy would be a better Spider-Man. Because. I can't even handle all my Doc Ock & Peter Parker feels lately.

Totally agree about Kate being Billy's common-sense checker. xD

"Kate, I want to go sneak into Doctor Doom's castle alone."
"NO."

"Kate, I was thinking about bringing Teddy's mother back."
"NO."

Eventually she just replies "NO" every time he opens his mouth.

The singularity at which Kate Bishop becomes Pepper Potts.
