Still, this issue poises us for what could be an exciting ride, accompanied by humor and heart. It is clear that the creators want the Young Avengers to be relatable, relevant, and fun, and so far they are succeeding. However, whether the series ultimately lives up to these aspirations remains to be seen.

In all, Young Avengers 3 is another strong chapter in the title's relaunch. Though the ending felt a little stale, I'm prepared to trust Gillen to bring us another exciting read next month.

Zombies Hi has come a long way from its first few issues, and demonstrates the promise that digital distribution holds for independent publishers. There is talent here, and clearly a lot of passion from its creators and fans. If the series continues to improve, it could offer an interesting alternative to some of the current mainstream offerings.
