They say you can never go home. For the Young Avengers, that's not true. They can go home - it's just that if they do, the universe may end. Better not go home then, eh? (Wait, what are you doing, Young Avengers? You've decided to go home?!?) The team takes on the gig to save reality, but is Kate Bishop an enemy in waiting? Is this the last we see of the loveable/strangle-able Kid Loki? Are rhetorical questions a cheap device when writing solicits? All the answers will be revealed here! Except the last one, which you'll have to work out by yourselves.

Well, this is it, folks: the end of Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's limited Young Avengers run is here, and it's a fun and fitting end to what has been a most enjoyable series.

If you've made it this far in the story, then you're already familiar with the clever writing, the superb art, and the creative and stylistically unique layouts of Young Avengers. Rest assured, the quality is not simply maintained in this final volume; rather, the creative team seems to take things up a notch for the final act in their story.

I won't give you details on how the Mother storyline ends, but I will say that the last two issues shine in showing us what happens after that chapter comes to a close: teen heroes across the Marvel universe gather for the after-party! The party plays out as a series of vignettes, each one drawn by a different guest artist. These scenes, each focusing on a different member of the team, are a joy to watch unfold. By the end, McKelvie and Gillen reunite to give our heroes a proper send-off, and if you've enjoyed this series as much as I have, then prepare for some feels, because those last few pages have them in spades.

After only fifteen issues, it's time to say farewell to Wiccan, Hulking, Hawkeye, Marvel Boy, Miss America, Loki, and Prodigy. Until the next inevitable adventure, guys; you'll be missed.

Great conclusion to Young Avenger by Kieron Gillen! Really hope they continue to do more of them. Very satisfying! Highly recommend the entire Volume from 1 to 3.

A solid finish to the series

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2014

I struggled to connect with this team of heroes through the first two volumes of this series. There wasn't enough character development. However, after going back and reading the original YA collections, I have a better appreciation for these characters. Though I have never liked the alien "Mother" monster that has been the big bad throughout, this final volume does deliver the goods in terms of wrapping everything up and ending on a strong note. Naturally, Loki's been manipulating everything all along and I couldn't be happier about that. But, his motivations are still somewhat a mystery (even to himself). I love the springboard provided for his solo series, Loki: Agent of Asgard Volume 1: Trust Me , and I hope his former teammates pop up in that series in the future.

The YA series goes on hiatus after this volume (it's not canceled), which I think is a good thing. This group really isn't strong enough, at least anymore, to carry a regular series. However, I think they are perfect for occasional "mini-series" and I definitely want to see more of Wiccan, Hulkling and Hawkeye. I still don't like America, but this final volume does redeem her somewhat both in her attitude and in a surprise about her origins. Overall, this series was well worth the ride. Highly recommended.

Good, but a little rushed.

The writers seemed to be in the middle of a story and then decided it needed to end, but wrapped it up too quickly. You had a villain that had been hunting the team for the entire series, then was defeated in one or two issues. However, guest appearances (Alex and Julie Power, Young X-Men, etc) certainly helped. One thing that always got me reading was the characterization. I love these characters. If you've read the series, you have to get this book. This is end of the series. At least for now.

Spoiler:
I think making almost every team member gay, bi, or lesbian was a little too much. I buy the book because of Billy and Teddy, so it's not that I'm opposed to characters like that. It's just it seemed a little unreal that an almost random team (only Billy and Teddy were chosen by Iron Lad) had a minority of people be the overwhelming majority. It's almost like the writers were being too patronizing. But whatever. I still love the series.

I REALLY loved this team, I have not really read much into the previous incarnations of the Young Avengers, but this stuff is great, progressive, bold, brilliant.
Saddened to learn this is again like other things I keep picking up, the last volume for now.
Get this, and get the two previous volumes before it, you won't regret it.

keeps getting better - apart from the naff 'Archie' style pages of vol. 2 (not my cup of tea anyway), and the Loki pages in the episode (yuk) the experimentation with different styles for each characters narrative is stunningly successful. The Miss America pages in this edition (something like Hewlitt*McCarthy*Ian Gibson (Halo Jones)*De Mathias (Blood))... amazing. Decent plot and some cracking one-liners too, mostly courtesy of young Loki (bring him back!)
