Writer Keiron Gillen keeps the patter crisp and clever and the story doesn't slow down (or run out of surprises) from start to finish. Read Full Review

The panels are actually what really made this issue what it is. When the team gets to the dimension that the inter-dimensional parasite, Mother, comes from, McKelvie turns the panels against the characters, and forces them to fight their way through the rest of the comic. It was as if the comic book had come to life and had turned against the team members. Read Full Review

Young Avengers #8 continues the crazy adventures of Loki and company as Kieron Gillen creates more witty wordplay and crazy situations. Jamie McKelvie and Mike Norton pencil a beautiful issue that has it all, be it funny character expressions, cool dimensional bad guys, or even new types of delicious food. Read Full Review

Young Avengers still remains that go to book if you are looking for something fun. Not just because of Loki's humor which is very humorous, but because Gillen manages to surprise you consistently. This issue should have surprised many and we can only follow what happens here and hope it's something we can understand. Well we should also want to see if Teddy can understand because he is probably more shocked than we could be knowing he's still in a relationship. Read Full Review

Seriously, if you can pull off a line like "the laws of physics can kiss my ass" and make us believe it, we don't need much more out of our comic book heroines. Young Avengers isn't mind-blowing or anything, but it's always right on that cusp of being a total blast. Read Full Review

While it isn't the most exciting installment in the Young Avengers series thus far, issue #8 does provide a few nifty character moments with a surprise twist at the end that's bound to shake things up. Read Full Review

Overall, the creative team continues to kill it with another awesome issue of 'Young Avengers'. Things are starting to heat up, and not just because of the impending battles approaching. I can't wait to find out what happens next. Read Full Review

Probably the only thing that really brings this issue down from being one of the best of the series is simply the length of the story arc. Personally, I've never been a fan of longer story arcs and as much as this issue was enjoyable, it's the eighth issue of the series and we're still trudging along with a conclusion only just in sight. It's not enough to make the issue less enjoyable, more a comment on the series a whole so far. Gillen has been excellent at keeping any of the issue from feeling like filler, but this long a story arc right off the bat eventually leads to some dead weight. This issue isn't it, I just hope it keeps this strong as it finally reaches it's conclusion. Read Full Review

A great combination of storytelling with killer art. I just hope the story starts winding up with Mother. Read Full Review

Is it any surprise at this point that Young Avengers is consistently breaking boundaries and being an overall extremely impressive comic book? If it is, I think you need to stop expecting anything different. Gillen, McKelvie, Norton, Wilson, and Cowles are all at the very top of their game, working on a book that plays to all of their strengths, and if they're having half as much fun creating this book as I am reading it, I hope they carry on forever.

Skips over a bit too much material in its attempt to keep the plot on track, and delivers a poorly founded twist. Otherwise, the script and art are as hip, cool, and entertaining as they've always been. Read Full Review
