“Sidekicks Part Five”

In "Sidekicks Part Five," the Young Avengers face off against Kang the Conqueror, who's come to the present to send his younger self, Iron Lad, back to his rightful time. With the original Avengers out of commission, the team must rise to the challenge—no mentors, no backup, just their own courage and the weight of history on their shoulders. Written by Allan Heinberg and illustrated by Jim Cheung, with inks by John Dell and colors by Justin Ponsor, this issue delivers a tense, character-driven showdown that pushes the team to their limits. The cover by Jim Cheung and John Dell captures the stakes in a single, striking image.
