The One with Allan Heinberg

This is for Sex and the City and The O.C. fans out there (and I know there are a few of you reading this..)

Young Avengers #1

COVER BY: Jim Cheung
WRITER: Allan Heinberg
PENCILS: Jim Cheung
INKS: John Dell

THE STORY: Youth goes wild in February, when Hollywood scribe Allan Heinberg ("Sex and the City", "The O.C." and "Party of Five") and hot artist Jim Cheung launch Young Avengers.

"The series chronicles the adventures of four all-new teenage superheroes who first appear on the scene dressed as... well, young Avengers," laughs Heinberg.

The appearance of Patriot, Iron Lad, Asgardian and the Hulkling in the aftermath of "Avengers Disassembled" touches off a storm of controversy, both in the press and within the superhero community, with questions ranging from "Where did these kids come from?" to "Are they heroes or villians?"

"I don't want to reveal too much," warns Heinberg, "but I can confirm that each Young Avenger has a significant tie to the Avengers themselves - or to Avengers history - which may not be readily apparent."

Look for the rookie Avengers to get a superhero crash course in the first arc, which features a classic Avengers villian and guest appearances by Captain America, Iron Man and teases Heinberg, "my favourite character in the entire Marvel Universe, Jessica Jones."
