Uncanny Avengers 1: The Red Shadow (Avengers: Marvel Now!)

It's hard to see beyond Bendis and Johns sometimes especially when it's a mainstream comic but this is a very good book. Avengers World, or whatever it was called was beyond bad with terrible characters and useless team-ups trying to combine X-men and Avengers after their war (Sunspot and Cannonball? Really?). Uncanny picked some good characters. It could have done without Wolverine but I guess every Marvel comic has to have him in it and Sunfire definitely seems superfluous (and that's saying something with Wonderman on the team). All in all it is a great start to what could be a long run in the comic world and having Havoc on the team ensures a showdown with Marvel's all time d-bag: Cyclops.*Spoiler* The romance between Wanda and Steve is great! I hope it lasts. Sharon was 'ok' but just not Cap territory and the Scarlett Witch currently being the black sheep of the Marvel Universe and Captain America being... well Captain frikkin America Rogers just makes for a great match. Here's hoping Cap busts Vision's robo butt into a scrap pile!I like the new costumes. Across the board I have hated the changes in the costumes in both Marvel and DC to satisfy the politically correct (Powergirl with no boob window? That's hurting her, not us!). Wanda's trenchcoat with plunging neckline is both sexy and modest, good combo. Cap's utility look was always good way back when. I would like a new look for Rogue and Sunfire. Considering they have Janet van Dyne on the team I think a costume overhaul is in order.All in all this is a good book and I highly recommend it.

Collecting: Uncanny Avengers (2015) #1-5Counter Evolutionary collects the entire run of the second Uncanny Avengers series. This book picks up in the aftermath of  Avengers & X-Men: Axis  . After the stunning revelation that Magneto is not their father, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch travel to the High Evolutionary's planet to confront him about their origin. Rogue attempts to piece together a new Unity Squad with Vision, Dr Voodoo, Falcon, and a newly good guy Sabretooth to back them up. Voodoo's spell goes awry, and the Avengers are scattered across High Evolutionary's world.Writer Rick Remender has earned a his reputation as a masterful storyteller. The pacing and plot work well as Remender weaves the scatter team's individual plot lines together to meet for a grand finale. The High Evolutionary makes a maniacal enemy for our heroes, and Remender uses the High Evolutionary's particular brand of crazy to sound some rather profound thoughts on the nature of perfection and the virtues of flaws. Finally, Sabretooth as a living, thinking character (rather than simply Wolverine's nemesis) has a lot of potential to develop Sabreooth into a sympathetic character. I am enjoying watching his transition from supervillain to superhero.Readers who've followed the Uncanny Avengers will want to pick this volume up because it details critical changes in Wonder Man and Rogue's situation. Longtime Avengers fans will also enjoy the moments that The Vision and Wanda share. The conclusion of this volume points readers towards  Secret Wars  in order to follow these characters' adventures.

I loved uncanny avengers! I didn't know much of anything about scarlet witch (chick in the red costume) other then being magneto's daughter, or havok (the dude in the black costume) and they didn't appear to be that cool but then I read this and havok quickly became my favorite member of the team. This volume is more of an x-men story then an avengers story so you'd need to know what happened in AvX to understand what's going on, so if you're brand new to Marvel or comics in general (as i was recently), either read Avengers vs X-men or look up the plot to that elsewhere. The villain (i won't mention who) was actually interesting in this volume, I always thought he/she was pretty corny but in uncanny avengers he/she was awesome.Pre-ordering uncanny avengers volume 2 ASAP. Can't wait for it!

This is a good start to the Uncanny Avengers. Remender brings in more than just the 6 Heroes you see on the cover of the comic. The Red Skull strikes, again, but this time he is hand is cut short when the Uncanny Avengers show up and send him fleeing for now. There is tension in this group between some group members due to past events, and the whole mutant event that just happened with AVX.This is going to be a good series to follow. Don't miss out.Vol 2 is out too so you'll NEED to get it with this.Also their is an ode to Days of Future Past, but with Avengers and Mutants.

It's always a bit of a challenge to read current comic books. If it weren't for my childhood memories, I probably wouldn't find them interesting at all. However, from time to time I like to take a look at what my childhood superheroes are up to.One of the challenges is that there is so much detailed continuity as background that it can be difficult to get oriented. Marvel made its mark originally by introducing continuity --- previously, superhero stories were self-contained. The old Marvels were full of chatty notes from Stan: (That happened back in Ish #4. Don't tell us you forgot --- you know how sensitive we are!)Today it's the opposite: you're expected to know the background, and if you don't, well, you're on your own.A lot of things of changed, but a lot of things haven't changed. The story is still the same: superheroes fight supervillains. There is new artwork and new twists and turns of the lives of our heroes, but the plot devices are the familiar routines that I was reading when I was 10 years old.This story was typical, very wordy and talky, with a few fight scenes. But after more than 50 years what do you expect?

Excellent

Puntúo respecto plazo de entrega y estado del envío.Sobre gustos de tipos de cómics escribo esta opinión:No es el mejor Cassaday al dibujo, pero sigue siendo sobresaliente. Muy sobresaliente.La historia está muy bien...aunque me da la impresión de ir bastante precipitada. Luego está el temita de que para algo tan serio como lo que se plantea, los dos equipos manden un escuadroncillo.... pero bueno. Se lee de manera muy divertida. Muy Marvel.

Après le désastre "AVsX", Captain America estime qu'il doit faire plus pour que mutants et humains vivent ensemble en paix, et il créé pour ce faire un amalgame titanesque de l'équipe des X-Men et de celle des Avengers. La composition finale du groupe ne sera acquise qu'à la fin du volume et une partie des recrutés s'imposera compte tenu des circonstances.Captain America laisse la direction du groupe à Alex Summers, alias Havok, frère de Scott Summers.Mais ce nouveau groupe devra s'affronter à un autre danger, causé par un revenant que les débats sur les "sur-hommes" et les "sous-hommes" intéresse tout particulièrement, qui n'est pas ennemi d'une chirurgie dévoyée et qui est partisan du déchaînement de la haine.C'est à Rick REMENDER (Punisher, Uncanny X-Force, Venom) qu'échoit d'écrire cette nouvelle série phare du mouvement "Marvel Now" destiné à rendre accessible à un nouveau lectorat les héros de la Maison des Idées. Il est aidé par un John CASSADAY pas vu chez Marvel depuis son run sur Astonishing X-Men en compagnie de Joss WHEDON (2004-2008).Dans un volume peut-être un peu verbeux du fait des nombreux commentaires, pas forcément en rupture totale avec le passé tant des X-Men que des Avengers (mais quelques courts flashbacks explicatifs sont proposés) et un peu statique compte tenu du style léché du dessinateur, on voit le Cap' aux prises avec une situation qu'il a déjà connue il y a peu dans sa propre série vers la fin du run d'Ed BRUBAKER. Mais compte tenu de la puissance des héros qui l'accompagnent, les conséquences peuvent cette fois être catastrophiques.L'uniforme du Cap' et le costume de Thor ont été rapprochés de ceux des récents blockbusters. Je dois à la vérité d'écrire que je n'aime pas le design de l'uniforme du Cap' bien qu'il soit peut-être plus réaliste ainsi.Au moins trois cliffhangers sont proposés, qui laissent entendre que l'on en a pour un moment avec les Uncanny Avengers à la mode REMENDER.Les cinq premiers numéros du comic book mensuel sont ici regroupés dans ce HC new look (sur fond blanc mais proche pour le reste des couvertures de Urban Comics), dont le 5è est dessiné par Olivier COIPEL. La reproduction d'un grand nombre de couvertures alternatives est proposée à la fin (bravos particuliers à Skottie YOUNG et Mark BROOKS), avec aussi les études de costumes des personnages et de quoi télécharger l'application qui permet d'accéder à des scènes en réalité augmentée (pas vues).*** et 1/2

A good start to an interesting group of "Avengers"This really does feel like a mixing of two team, Xmen and Avengers, however i feel it is defiantly more of an Avengers story.The art is fantastic, and the story moves along at a good pace. Quite graphic in places... though it is a "graphic" novel. hahaInterested to see what happens to Rogue and the scarlet Witch, both being the most interesting mutant members of the team!Felt like it should have been 6 issues included not 5 though... slightly short wrap up at the very end.

Oh, this book is so bad,it's like Marvel isn't even trying anymore. The storyline is boring, predictable and even clumsy at times. The art is okay, I guess, but everything else about the book is just poorly executed. The only redeeming part is seeing a fourth-rate villain eat Thor's hammer in the face which is, as you guessed it, not enough to warrant the purchase of this book...
