I really like the guest instructor concept, allowing other Avengers, some of them major Marvel characters to show up for a class every now and then. Gage juggles the cast well, allowing page space for newcomers’ character development and their mentors to show their mettle as Avengers. These characters have dreams, ambitions and angst, essentially a maelstrom of emotions and hormones as teenagers are. Gage has a great aptitude for a teenager’s psyche and has made characters that read and feel authentic. Series writer Chris Gage used these first six issues to introduce the six newcomers by presenting a different character’s point of view, their origins and motivations. It contained the first six issues and featured fantastic art from Mike McKone.
Both teams have villainous backgrounds, the Runaways from their parents and the Academy teens from Norman Osborn and both also show a capability to be often more rational thinkers than their adult counterparts.Ĭhance favored me one weekday afternoon, finding a bargain copy of the first Avengers Academy premiere hardcover. I realized that there were parallels between the two groups. I first read an issue of Avengers Academy when my favorite teen group and BKV creation, the Runaways met with the teen Avengers for a two part story.
