Avengers: The Children’s Crusade: Young Avengers #1 of 1

Allen Heinberg // Alan Davis
May 2011
***

Heinberg’s worst single issue in a fun split run. Storywise, his one-shot means to raise the stakes by showing Kang mis-leading the adult YAs in a timewar. But it slides into a needless “issue #0” flashback. Tho’ Davis isn’t in his element (chatty spandex comics), he does yeoman’s work.

FF #1

Daredevil #2

Stan Lee // Joe Orlando
June 1964
**

Issue #2 leans hard on Stan Lee’s NYC. The protag’s alter ego is hired as lawyer to the Fantastic Four, & he spends the ish chasing Spidey’s electrical enemy all over town, via bewilderingly diverse types of transportation. Orlando supplies action, good cheer, & imaginative layouts.
