One totally unimportant but adorable page from the latest Young Avengers

And by latest, I do mean the oneshot with the long name

Avengers The Children's Crusade Young Avengers #1

Totally an excuse for me to post one moment of squee. Seriously, if these guys were any closer, they'd be heterosexual life partners, half of whom actually are not heterosexual.

Okay, so let's call them BFFs.

No real spoilers.

Just a little look into the lives of the YA when they were only made up of four fun, teenage boy comic book geeks who were each others' best friends who were totally fine throwing innocent gay humor around with one another. Because they were that comfortable. Awwwwwww.

Cute scene, but all it makes me think is:

People Wiccan and Hulkling have collectively kissed:

Enchantress

Iron Lad

Random Terrorist

Not Even Vaguely Each Other

Yeah, I'm aware CPR isn't kissing, but hey. Rictor and Shatterstar can make out like there's no freaking tomorrow, why can't Billy and Teddy get a little lip action? With each other?

	When did Wiccan kiss Enchantress? Maybe got a little weird action, but no kisses. And don't forget Jimmy Stidham XD Whoever that is. Heinberg says he'll wait for the RIGHT TIME. IN CAPITAL LETTERS. HE'LL MAKE IT EPIC. JUST AS LONG AS THEY DON'T CANCEL. Which is totally fine with me. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	AND NOW YOUR SHIP HAS SAILED. Although I seriously think Heinberg is teasing these ships on purpose, at least to show people how close these four are. Although he uses Billy as a representative, because: Right now, Billy is all over Nate. In the previous YA comic, Billy was all over Eli. Cute, concerned, and yet still I can't help but wonder....

	And the "sleeping in the same bed" deal without minding that Wallace has his two other boyfriends in the bed with them. As long as they stay on their own side of the bed, he's totally cool with it. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Didn't care much for the art, but the flashback to their teens (and doubly, the flash back to what they were before they became the YA). So. Much. Love. It's a nice homosocial moment. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	True. Davis' art is gorgeous but it seems to be selective, ie Eli's adult self looks less than nice. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

Alan Davis draws all black people alike. His Eli looks like his Luke Cage. His Eli doesn't even look like... Eli. Meh. Davis can draw Caucasions well, but not so much re: poc. Which is a major reason why I quibbled re: buying the comic (but I got it for the story), but not everyone can be Rebekah Isaacs, alas.
