It's the Jim Cheung issue #5 variant cover. Commence squee.

Saw it on Tumblr. I like it, but it does remind me why Cheung's faces get a lot of criticism.

I've missed Cheung drawing the YA more than I thought.

MACs face is ridiculously adorable for some reason in that cover. Also whats happening with Loki? Did Wiccan just decide that reincarnated Gods of Mischief make really comfy seats?

**Centipede Damascus** · 03-03-2013, 12:03 AM

Ha, Cheung really cheated with Kate and MAC there, putting them all the way in the back like that. Kate's legs seem to have disappeared somehwere behind Hulkling. Still, it's a really pretty cover.

I love the drawing but I gotta admit, it took me a second to realise that was Noh-Varr and not a gueststarring Speed.

Love the cover... but I didn't even realise it WASN'T Speed until you pointed it out!

That said, the pose is fantastic for everyone, love MAC and KidLoki on the floor. Damn, this comics amazing!

Oh, how I've missed Billy's unkempt hair! <3

Oh wow! That cover is so awesome.
Cheung should always be the artist for YA. His work is just fantastic.

Surely you mean superior hair.
But yeah, it's good to see him looking good again.

HA! Love this!

Not a fan of it. Not saying it's bad, but there is some same face, MAC and Marvel Boy look a little younger than they are, and where the hell is Kate's lower half.

The fact that Noh-Varr looks like a twelve year old in it is the biggest criticism, aside from Cheung's tendency to make almost every face look the same.

The fact that ALL of them look like they're twelve is not good. (Except Loki, that is.) And Kate does have legs, they're just behind Hulkling's (you can kinda see them) but it's still weird.

All in all, not really a fan of the cover. Except the Loki part, that part's great, but everyone else... not so much.

I can't wait for the eventual scene in Young Avengers where Billy will sweat out or get dunked in a liquid and ruin his gel. Unkempt hair galore!

As for the cover, Billy has the same colour 3DS I do, and Cheung can only draw 12 year old faces. It's creepy.

It looks like Speed cosplaying Noh-Varr, and I'm sure that's a concept that has Kieron Frost doubled-over in the giggles. NO HATE K-FROST, JUST SAYIN BRO, YOU HAVE SOME STRONG FEELS!

Yeah, I'll admit Loki and looks fine, as does Billy. Kate would get great if her lower half was correct.

And Hawkeye, not the Hawkguy, and I have the same bow! THIS IS A FUN GAME TO PLAY YOU GUYS!
