avengersacademy

I always ask the advice of the Comic Book Guys. They are the experts in their fields and if nothing else they should be respected for that expertise. And as I stood in my local, mourning the untimely loss of Young Avengers (nothing new since their Civil War adventures with the Runaways, which has been a part of my collection for years now), I asked for the Younger Avengers, and was handed Avengers Academy, a new Heroic Age title from Marvel.
