The highly anticipated new standalone full-color graphic novel from Bryan Lee O'Malley, author and artist of the hugely bestselling Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series.

ZANADU RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1/23/13

YOUNG AVENGERS #1

(W) Kieron Gillen  (A) Jamie McKelvie

Legacy isn't a dirty word... but it's an irrelevant one. It's not important what our parents did. It matters what WE do. Someone has to save the world. You're someone. Do the math. The critically acclaimed team of Gillen/McKelvie/Wilson (with added Norton Sauce) decide to reinvent the teen superhero comic for the 21st century, uniting Wiccan, Hulkling and Hawkeye with Loki, Marvel Boy and Ms. America. No pressure. Young Avengers is as NOW! as the air in your lungs, and twice as vital. It's the book that knows Hyperbole is the BEST! THING! EVER!

Drop into the next level of super-hero comics with the most anticipated book of the entire Marvel NOW relaunch!! Gillen and McKelvie, the superstar team behind 'Phonogram', present a comic that truly embraces the NOW of that initiative by showcasing the next stars of the Marvel universe as real people rather than supporting characters living under the shadow of their namesakes. In fact this isn't even a comic, it's a mesmerizing power pop bubblegum song of transcendence that will shatter your assumptions of what the medium is capable of achieving! The future of comics is NOW and it reads like a Phil Spector wall of sound burst to the third eye!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!
