Young Avengers #4 review

My, this is a bright and breezy read. Yes, Young Avengers #4 revolves around evil parents trying to slay their children, but creators Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie unfold events so lightly that reading this is like swimming in a sumptuous superhero souffle. Interdimensional parasite Mother, accidentally summoned to Earth by inexperienced/bungling warlock Wiccan, wants […]
