McKeever focuses the what if scenario on the Allies. The stars of the book feel that they failed. They're the ones living with the guilt of impotence in the face of unstoppable power. They feel small, and the presence of the big guns remind them that they are small. Nevermind that they're actually chatting with major heroes, essentially dining at the grownups' table. McKeever thus reduces the drama to a human level and subtly makes Young Allies about something. Young Allies is basically the story of a group of young people denying and defying the odds to find their place in history. Read Full Review

Two issues in, Im liking this book, but Im not in love yet. Im definitely leaning towards adding this to the pull list, but it may take another issue to sell me on it entirely. Read Full Review

"Young Allies" is fun and while it may look like a strange mix of characters, I'd say that overall McKeever and Baldeon have hit the spot. I suspect if you pick up the first two issues, you too will end up signing up for the series. Check it out. Read Full Review
