Young Avengers has gone away again. It's a state of affairs that fans of the book are used to. Series writer Kieron Gillen and artist Jamie McKelvie have set off to create a new book about super-teens, The Wicked & The Divine, and Young Avengers fans are left hoping someone else will pick up the baton. Pending any announcements this convention season, that means a lot of fan favorite characters now go back into mothballs, including Marvel's premier gay teen couple, Wiccan and Hulkling, and breakout fashion icon Miss America. But the one I'll miss the most? Marvel's first male pin-up; Marvel Boy.

The comic book, animation, illustration, pinup, mashup, fan art and design communities are generating amazing artwork of myriad styles and tastes, all of which ends up on the Internet and filtered into ComicsAlliance’s Best Art Ever (This Week). These images convey senses of mood and character — not to mention artistic skill — but comic books are specifically a medium of sequential narratives, and

In yet another example of a Marvel title wrapping up a "season," as it were, Young Avengers by writer Kieron Gillen and artists Jamie McKelvie and Mike Norton will end with issue #15 in February 2014. Gillen announced the run coming to an end in a post to his Tumblr, which also heavily hinted at a new season with new creators.

Over the past year, Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie and Mike Norton's Young Avengers has been one of the most consistently enjoyable comics on the stands. The thrilling, completely unsubtle adventures that take teenage problems and blow them up into world-threatening monsters have revived Marvel's teenage heroes and put them back to the forefront in a way that fits perfectly with their position that

What are you doing New Year's Eve? It may seem a long way off, but as announced at Friday's Cup O' Joe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Kieron Gillen is already making plans. The last issue of Young Avengers in 2013 and the first in 2014 tell a two-part story of a single night at a party - a chance to blow off steam after the trials and tribulations ahead. What makes the story really exciting is its

There were three big announcements at this year's Cup O' Joe panel at San Diego Comic-Con - the return of Marvel UK, a sequel to Wolverine: Origin, and a Young Avengers jam story. As usual, however, the hour was dominated by questions from the audience. Joe Quesada was on hand to answer questions, joined by Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso, editors Steve Wacker and Nick Lowe, talent liaison CB Cebulski

We at ComicsAlliance have never been shy about our love for Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's excellent indie Phonogram. We named The Singles Club the fifth-best comic of 2010, broke the story about Phonogram's end, and wondered hopefully at the teasing implications of a return. When The Immaterial Girl was announced in 2012, we celebrated, and when we heard it was pushed back to 2013, we were a little crestfallen. But when it was announced that Gillen and McKelvie would be the creative team on the relaunch of Young Avengers, we figured we could probably wait a little longer. We were right. Five issues in, the creative team has made Young Avengers one of the most exciting and experimental books on the stands, and one of the few comics about youth that actually captures the energy and potential of it.

Fox News Latino's Victor Garcia conducted a pretty candid conversation with Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso to discuss the increased visibility of hispanic characters in the comics he produces i.e. Miss America Chavez in Young Avengers and Miles Morales in Ultimate-Spider-Man...

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we defend a world that hates and fears us -- or at least, we talk about the X-Men. It's basically the same thing, right? Chris and Matt are joined by ComicsAlliance's Andrew Wheeler and David Brothers to discuss their favorite and least favorite things about Marvel's Merry Mutants -- and you can listen to the whole show right here at ComicsAlliance...
