Young Avengers Appreciation 2022

[GraysonXIV]

Gah. I came here for the exact same reason. Depending on when that episode was recorded, in conjunction with his immediate prior statement outlining where/what to read to catch up on Billy/Teddy -- he COULD have been referencing his Last Annihilation issue -- BUT BUT BUT I choose to believe he was being playfully coy and just can't say anything official right now about an impending project.

ALSO....

I could be all up in my head about this but the Hellfire Gala preview images MIGHT MAYBE POSSIBLY have Emperor Hulkling and Prince Consort/Court Wizard Wiccan in attendance???

It has to have been recorded more recently than that—they mention Our Flag Means Death at the end of the show, which aired in March, and they mention waiting to hear about a season 2, so it sounded like they had seen the whole season already.

Honey I wish Billy's hair was that long again

I mean, same. I love a wavy lock.

Hmmmm... While it would be great to see them there given Wanda's no longer persona non grata on Krakoa, considering Teddy's almost exclusively been depicted using his Hulkling form since Empyre (sans the TLA flashback stuff), unless this was another coloring mistake, I'm gonna assume those are extras/other mutants

I wish. Specially if it would mean getting Dauterman drawing them. But at the same time... not really feeling those basic ass suits. Precisely because it's Dauterman, I would've expected something with more pizzazz for Marvel's premiere gay super-couple.

He was also in his human form in a lot of panels of Emperor Hulkling. Come to think of it, Anthony (and Zdarsky, since he co-wrote Emperor Hulkling) is basically the ONLY writer who's written him like that in the post-Empyre era. I would actually appreciate someone else doing that for a change and not being a coloring mistake.

Would be nice to see em, and "Teddy" does look like he has a hand over "Billy"s shoulder. Kind of agree the looks are a little basic, hopefully it is them, and that Dauterman will Dauterman in closeup.

If anything I'm ready for their yearly pride appearance. Maybe they'll even get a line or two in the background as well.

Here's a couple costume sketches I made for the boys:

Oh these are incredible!!! I can't explain it but there's something about Billy's that just makes it so... yassified.

Well, we know they're getting more than just background lines in the Marvel's Voices Young Avengers story. But hopefully it'll lead to more.

It's giving cosmic Merlin and Arthur, and I'm here for that!

I actually like the gala version for Billy more, and would not mind if he wore that as a regular costume. I mean, he already wears the galaxy print on his current regular suit anyway, no reason why he couldn't wear it on his cape too. The flashier, the better.

Log in to Contest of Champions tomorrow and you get Wiccan, Hulkling and Ms. Marvel for free. Though, oddly, Wiccan's character description refers to the YAs as the New Avengers.

Not gonna lie, I don't even play the game anymore but I still have the app installed on my phone and I think I might log back in after ages just to get them. lol

Bad news, Bleeding Cool goofed. You'll get Ms. Marvel and either Wiccan OR Hulkling. Not both!

11 pieces of Contest of Champions art featuring Wiccan and Hulkling, one of them also features America:

The first one showing Wiccan and Hulkling flying while holding hands, is currently the game's loading screen on boot.

Yeah, I noticed that when I logged in today. Oh well, whatever. It's not like I was planning to play again anyway.

Seeing that loading screen while launching the app filled me with joy. It's so rare to see Billy and Teddy being prominent in any Marvel media outside of comics (or even within comics recently, really).

Also, that second image is definitely a recreation from a Young Avengers comic from Heinberg's era. I don't remember which one, but I recall that very specific Billy pose.

Billy and Teddy are getting another Unlimited comic! Same guy that did the previous one, Josh Trujillo.

From the summary looks to be a continuation of that story! This is what he was most likely hinting at when he said there was a surprise at the end of the print version. As much as the first one wasn't totally my cup of tea, looking forward to this cause I need content lmao.

Edit: OMGGGGG the artist for the story is one of my fav Billy Teddy fan artists!

Yeah... I'm not excited for this. ''Love Unlimited'' feels like a glorified Valentine's Day Special, and it's not even about them exclusively but just some anthology with a bunch of other couples I don't give a damn about. Ugh. I don't dislike Josh, but if all he has to work with is them as a couple, then I don't expect that to be any more exciting than the first digital comic. It's probably gonna be just more basic relationship stuff.

The continuation of that book should've been about what Agatha said about Billy and Teddy having more potential than they realized. It should've been about her training Billy or something like that. Now we only get this, and with even less page time since they have to share it with 4 other different stories. Sorry if I sound too much like a downer, and I know getting content is better than nothing, but it's just so frustrating that THIS is the best Marvel Comics can come up for Wiccan and Hulkling after Empyre. The potential remains full, but their heads stay empty.

Yay for great art, though?
