There's a tremendous amount of fun in a series like this: established characters and tropes to play off of, as well as new characters to explore. Because New York is traditionally home to Avengers, a visit there enables our West Coast teens to mock and engage in a completely different-feeling world.And although we miss any character who is out for a series, there's delight in knowing that sooner or later that story will be filled in.Natasha and I are having a great time reading these side by side. She's tearing through them with the kind of focus she doesn't usually bring to fiction. Good times.Library copy.
