We Can Fix It!

Granted, I'm here to comment on issue #24 and not the last couple so, I have to say how relieved I was when the focus shifted back to folks I recognized. Specifically focusing on Ike and his father and the root of their tumultuous relationship. Of course, even with all the glimpses into Ike's past Spencer manages to avoid any real answers to any of our questions-- which for some of them, have gone unanswered for so long that I can honestly say that I have forgotten them.

To say that this comic has literally made me gasp while reading could only illustrate a fraction of its qualities and with this issue being a lead up to the end of the arc, it's dynamic qualities are a testament to Kirkman's ability to build towards a conclusion without having to take a break from the intensity.

deally, I'd like to see Young Avengers do more than bounce a bunch of witty and attractive kids off of each other for the hell of it. The characters Gillen has at his disposal have garnered such rich and interesting backstories in their short lifespans that to market their superficial appeal would be a crime. Then again, I know Marvel's trying to catch the eye of today's youth. I'm just not sure if I'm asking for too much.
