I have absolutely convinced myself the Kelly Thompson book coming out in August is Young Avengers. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up like that, but I can't help it. Either way, we should find out this month, with the August solicitations or an earlier announcement.
There are actually a bunch of minis in-between Vol. 1 and The Children's Crusade. It was basically fill-in stuff Marvel published while Heinberg didn't come back to finish his run, so you don't need to ABSOLUTELY read it to understand TCC, but it's a good read if you're invested in the characters and want to know more about them. Here's the chronological order:
(2006) Young Avengers/Runaways: Civil War
(2008) Young Avengers Presents
(2008) Young Avengers/Runaways: Secret Invasion
(2009) Young Avengers: Dark Reign
(2010) Young Avengers: Siege #1
After that, it's just TCC and Gillen's run as far as YA's publication history goes.
In that case, definitely gonna check out some of the minis below first.
Honestly I think I'll be okay emotionally...but I'mma be real pissed if I find out some hack writer has broken up Billy and Teddy.
Really hoping you're right now.
Probably just gonna check out the Runaways crossovers and Presents. I don't know what Dark Reign and Siege even were and I don't have much interest in learning.
Eli has been gone the longest. Since roughly 2012 I think. Tommy was last in the new YA briefly, and Kate has bern only gone recent. Cassie was gone until recently 2 years ago from 2012, Nate was gone since 2012 and surfaced in exiles, Jonas is not conning Back due to him being a younger form of vision and again 2012.
So longest has been Eli and Jonas over 6 years. Tommy since 2014 so that's 4 years, and caddies only bern gone like 2.
I feel like Eli is never coming back
We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
Yeah - Eli actually gave permission off panel, via phone call (in Captain America Sam Wilson #24), for Rayshaun Lucas to take over the Patriot identity. And they didn't name him. It was basically just "isn't there already a Patriot?" "Yeah, he's retired and I've got permission to use the name".
Cassie last appeared in Secret Empire. Her last leading role was in Astonishing Ant-Man.

Just speculation based on the fact that we're getting a book with Kate that's not a solo. Could be anything, of course, but aside from a duo Hawkeye book with Clint, the only other franchise she's been strongly associated with is YA. Plus, I remember Kelly liking someone's tweet suggesting that's what she was writing.
They can, but they didn't do that for the cut scenes confirming Valkyrie's and Ayo's sexuality (they weren't even released along with extra material for the films), did they? Which makes you wonder just how much Marvel Studios is committed to LGBTQ representation at all.
I've never seen Champions existing as an obstacle to Young Avengers returning either. For one thing, the two teams don't have any shared members, and also, DC currently has two Titans books. Wouldn't surprise me if they called it New Avengers instead though. The name is available since there's only one Avengers book currently, and Hulkling and Wiccan technically own the brand thanks to the ending of Ewing's run on the title.
