Nebula, World Fantasy, and Locus-award winner Alyssa Wong and fan-favorite artist Stephen Byrne reunite the Young Avengers in a story guaranteed to please fans new and old! Byrne will also depict the team in one of the issue’s variant covers.
“YOUNG AVENGERS is one of my cornerstone comics: fun, romantic, hilarious, ambitious, queer, and utterly buck wild. ‘All My Exes In the Nexus’ is a love letter to the queer chaos, camaraderie, and joy that the Young Avengers embody. (And it’s a Loki story, because of course it is),” Wong teased.
“I couldn’t be more excited to work on the Young Avengers story for MARVEL’S VOICES: PRIDE. The Gillen/McKelvie run was one of my earliest encounters with queer representation in comics and it is an exciting honor to be drawing them now,” Byrne added.
I won‘t lie, after the infinity comic, seeing Teddy unhappy like this in combination with a story called “All my exes in the nexus” makes me very nervous!

I’m not even tagging this but boy…. how quickly fandom forgets
Yeah and how willing Billy was able to do it, he didn’t even hesitate and actively tried I believe twice (?) (Don’t quote me on the number)
Yup! it was twice.
And I just can’t with all these posts going on about how they can’t wait to see A Loki in Young Avengers, and I’m just like “Did we read the same comic?”
Which is made even worse by people thinking Billy and Loki would have made a better couple.
Loki actively tried to bring Billy to the edge of insanity. He made him doubt the most meaningful connection in his life (his relationship with Teddy), the control over his powers and wanted him to kill himself.
Conceptually, this is a good story and I quite like the idea of Loki being as devious as he is, but Billy has been through so much already. I don’t want anything similar in Young Avengers. It would be nice to give him a break. Especially after his relationship to Teddy was heavily weakened in the Infinity comic imo.
IF YOU THINK TEDDY (KAPLAN-)ALTMAN IS BI, GET OFF MY PAGE AND UNFOLLOW ME!
Some characters, even ones you might consider attractive, are gay. Stop changing them! Teddy and Billy are gay, just as much as Tommy and David are bi, or how America is lesbian. I‘m tired of works and discourses where people try to actively change/fight characters‘ sexual identities.
This is still homophobia. These are minority characters that mean the world to people around the world belonging to that minority. Invalidating a minority character is invalidating the minority in real life. TEDDY AND BILLY ARE GAY.
Not me having ‘Agatha All Along’ as my most played song this year, just to find out in Hulkling & Wiccan: Infinity that she’s a homophobic and racist hag!
Billy and Teddy Kaplan-Altman for @marvellfashion‘s Valentine Challenge! My favourite fashionable couple (even if they do normally dress like nerds) I gave them outfits kind of vaguely inspired by their costumes!
I’ve recently rediscovered the joys of cross-hatching and what better way to practice than drawing my favourite superhero. Watch this space for more YA, because I have his husband nearly finished >w<
