The Young Avengers return in an epic saga by series creators Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung!

When Billy Kaplan’s reality-altering powers begin to rival those of the Scarlet Witch, the young hero sets out on a quest to find her that spans the Marvel Universe and pits Wiccan against both the Avengers and the Young Avengers. But will Wiccan’s desire to solve the mystery of his parentage be his salvation or his undoing? With three words, the Scarlet Witch changed the world forever — and with her return, nothing will ever be the same for the Marvel Universe! This self-contained event reintroduced and redefined the Young Avengers and the Scarlet Witch for the Heroic Age and is essential reading for fans of Marvel Studios’ WANDAVISION and AGATHA ALL ALONG!

[Jacob · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredibly good, I really enjoyed how X-Men centric this felt. Magneto got some good moments as well as Wiccan. The story felt like a good time up for Avengers Disassembled and House of M and had a pretty mature tone for what was going on. Children's Crusade is an apt title. They really did Vision dirty though, and while it makes sense for the overarching story it does change my view on Iron Lad. I also have to say, I was never a big fan of Patriot and this series really did officially make me dislike him, everyone else despite being kids (and acting like them) at least isn't as much of an idiot. The few avengers world issues put at the end felt a little like padding for the book but at least they deal with Cassie. Definitely recommend this.

Rating: 4.5/5

This vindicates Wanda in an odd way but I’ll take it cause I love her. Truly a trip that you’re taken on alongside the Young Avengers and it only made me realize how much Wiccan is the Beyoncé of the group. Weird that this is an Avengers title. Wanda reuniting with her family and kids was the best part about this. Still feel like I need more Young Avengers!!!

I enjoyed the story in general, just found the subplot of Cassie dying and Doom resurrecting her undeveloped and not believable in Doom's part.
