10 Best Modern Age Marvel #1 Comics
6. Young Avengers #1
The Justice League had the Teen Titans and over the years Marvel had tried several times to copy this idea with the Avengers, only to be met with varying degrees of success. They would come close with titles like the New Warriors and then make significant missteps with projects like Avengers Next.
In the wake of the Disassembled event, Marvel would try again with the Young Avengers - only this time, they would have TV scribe Allan Heinberg and artist Jim Cheung taking the reins.
What the two produced was teenage heroes who acted like teenagers. The title felt relevant and easily accessible to a new generation of readers. It would use the classic Avengers line-up as its template, but instead of creating cyphers, they would draft in existing and interesting new characters who better represented youth culture - some even having ties to established Avenger’s members.
The first issue would deliver a typical "Who are they and what makes them different?" story, allowing anyone with no knowledge of the larger Marvel Universe to jump aboard and enjoy the tale.
