Then the guy actually made a second set of different costumes. It is definitely worthy of note that Jim Cheung made all-new character designs for the Young Avengers, costumes both familiar but new, similar but distinct from their adult counterparts. Those costumes really are the best though. Decked out in cool new costumes, the defiant youth charge into their future. I also enjoy the spread of the fully formed team charging at Kang but the final page is probably my absolute favorite. I really liked that they went with a two-page spread when Cassie first grew and passed out, really showing how big she is and how small the others are by comparison. The boy from the future looks up at Vizh’s stoic and mysterious holographic projection in awe while the synthezoid’s body lays at their feet, still mangled from the events of “Avengers: Disassembled”, an expression of agony frozen on his face. I love the page where Iron Lad finds the Vision. There are so many great panels and pages in “Sidekicks” but I’ll try to narrow it down to my favorites. Not to brag but I imagined what a Jim Cheung drawn Justice League would look like a solid decade before we actually got it. The artist has a cinematic style that really fits superhero comics and he’d be great drawing any team. Cheung really puts his best foot forward, making the most of both the quiet moments and the epic action. Justin Ponsor did great work providing vibrant colors to accompany Jim Cheung’s pencils. I used to just stare at the panels for minutes on end. The rules are all over the place, just don’t think too hard on it. Iron Lad can’t alter the time-stream while Kang moonwalks up and down it? Honestly, that’s just time travel in general. Not that the time shifts and the drama aren’t enjoyable, it’s just that the rules make no sense. My other complaint has to do with the time travel. Not exactly what I’d call star-crossed lovers. The ‘romance’ comes back beyond these issues too and…again, they knew each other for maybe three hours. Why does Kate ask if Cassie is okay when he leaves? She knew the guy for maybe three hours, Eli was the one who actually knew him. First off, the Iron Lad and Cassie ‘romance’ feels forced and is pretty rushed. I love “Sidekicks” so much that I want to get my two small complaints out of the way so that we can get to the good stuff. But who are they? Where did they come from? And what right do they have to call themselves the Young Avengers?

In the wake of AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED, a mysterious new group of teen super heroes appears.
