The twins were... Well I suddenly heard the words: ''Do you want to play?'' ( )

I love this. I love this so much. Whoever came up with this is a genius and oh my god. I am a little sad that it ended just as Quicksilver appeared, who is my favourite of all time. But OH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MARVEL COMIC FOR SURE. ( )

This book is being kinda sneaky. After incursion, the Marvel Universes were destroyed and Dr. Doom cobbled together a new reality called “Battleworld,” with many paperback titles released under this banner. Except this one; technically, it’s a “Battleworld” book, but you wouldn’t know from the title & it’s in hardcover. Smart. I didn’t care about Battleworld, but I love Skottie Young’s Little Marvels!

Young’s baby character covers are so popular, that Marvel had him do a one shot called A-Babies v X-Babies, wherein the two teams battle over Cap’s stolen Bucky Bear. It was adorable and hilarious and I always hoped he’d get another shot at it. Unfortunately, the “Young Marvel: Little X-Men, Little Avengers, Big Trouble” was poorly executed and ruined by having other writers than Young involved. Thankfully, this book brings back the magic with more adorable hijinks and an actual story that suits these baby characters. A set of twins moves to Marville, and because twins are cool, the X-Men and the Avengers want them on their team. And then the Inhumans show up to lure them onto their team. There are several “battles” and lots of inside jokes for long-time comic fans. It’s fun and irreverent and which team actually gets the twins was a nice twist.

Overall, this is a fantastic book. It’s a bit pricey for the amount of material included, but the art is incredible and the story is pretty engaging. As a bonus, the original one shot is also included at the end. Highly recommended. ( )
