About the series
Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie’s brief but bold 2013–2014 Marvel series reimagined the Young Avengers as a team of queer, self-aware teens navigating superheroics and personal drama. Over just three issues, the creative team—with additional art by Becky Cloonan and Joe Quinones—delivered a visually inventive story about identity, found family, and growing up in the shadow of legacy heroes. This run stands out for its unapologetic embrace of LGBTQ+ characters and its stylish, metatextual energy, cementing it as a landmark in modern teen superhero comics.
