This was a strange book. I'm not sure if I liked it or hated it... For those of you who like the Young Avengers, know up front that they don't show up until the final page. The whole book focuses on this renegade team of youths, who call themselves the Young Avengers. Some of the specifics are still a mystery, but I think this team goes against the other Dark Reign books, in that this mock YA team isn't sanctioned by Osborne, but can only loosely be described as the "good guys".
This new team has a real interesting group of powers. So much so, that I wonder why we haven't heard of them until now. And there is a real underlying, socio-political message here as well, what with a neo-Nazi being on the team.
This group of youngsters brings back memories of the New Warriors and the disaster at Stamford. I think that is intentional, but we'll have to wait and see.
