The Pulse

This is a scene from Marvel's Young Avengers #6 - one of the best books around these days. Widely expected to be just another sad Avengers knock-off, this team of kids have ended up being far more interesting than their adult counterparts.

Before I post the scene that had me rolling on the floor, here's a little background information you'll need. These kids are the team members - Eli, Billy, Teddy, Kate and Cassie who were each a copy of a different Avenger. Their old codenames were Patriot, Asgardian, Hulkling, Hawkingbird and Ant-Girl, which were, respectively, equivalents of Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye and Ant-Man.

Now after their first adventure, they decide to stick together as a team, but with new codenames. Here is a snippet from their discussion on new codenames.

HAHAHAHA!

OK, did you not get it?

Ahh, I forgot to mention one crucial fact - Billy and Teddy are a gay couple. Now go read it again.

So where were we. Ahh, yes - HAHAHAHAHA! Priceless!
