So Young Allies #1, a good first issue. Toro kind of feels like he should have been from Africa given his origin, but the word for bull in Somali probably doesn't sound as cool as Toro does.
Arana wasn't annoying, Gravity was cool and should totally become Punisher Jr., Firestar was fine but seemed to be too young, at least in how Baldeon's drawing her, and Bucky was cool.
The Bastards of Evil are really annoying and kind of bring up the point that even if this is the Heroic Age, the punks deserve to die because while they're basically a parody of villains that seemed more in place a few years ago. It's just in trying to show the extremes between young hero and young villain, McKeever is really making the point that just beating them up and putting them in jail won't solve anything, so what do you do instead? (the answer is have Gravity crush their heads in).
A good first issue though, I'm dropping Iron Man and Uncanny and replacing them with this title.
Oh god why am I agreeing with you
seriously though everyone needs to go out and buy this book. It needs the support more than almost any other title.

I already bought it
What more can I do but sit and watch as it gets canceled before the year's end
I guess I'll grab it, but only because Midtown Comics is awesome where every $100 you spend they give you $20 in credit (so I'm hitting this monthly sometimes tri-weekly with the forum suggestions).
I hope we get a Young Allies ish where they flashback to Gravity's time with GLA, or at least team up with them. That was sorta glossed over as a side joke, but I always hoped it was gonna get us at least a half issue of hilarity.

Buy ten copies of every issue.
Or just get as many people reading it as you can
