Avengers Academy #13

What better setting for Marvel's teen heroes than a super hero prom? Avengers Academy #13 leans fully into that premise, and Billy Tan's cover captures the festivity and strangeness perfectly — confetti fills the air as a skull-faced figure in a tuxedo shares a dance with a yellow-armored student at center stage, while other young heroes and their dates mingle around them, including a cloaked figure floating above the ballroom floor and a masked young woman in green looking on from above. Christos Gage and Sean Chen bring their sharp character work to "Prom Night," promising a story that balances the genuine awkwardness of adolescence with the particular complications of being a superhero-in-training.
