Uncanny Avengers # 7 Spoiler Review
What just happened in Uncanny Avengers # 7 and how big could it's ramifications be? Check out the spoilers for Uncanny Avengers # 7 by Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña.
Spoiler alert on this post.
There's a couple of subplots here such as the brewing tension inside the team, the worsening cat fight between Rogue and Scarlet Witch and this...
It's these kinds of moments in an Avengers book that makes me realize two things, that team romances are nice to enrich the book but it also heralds all the kinky and downright ***tty stuff that's appearing in books like 'The Boys' where all the heroes sleep around and do nasty stuff with each other.
Anyway, the main point of this issue is that the Apocalypse Twins have officially made their appearance in the present time after being whisked away by Kang the Conqueror a few issues ago. Not only are they all grown up and resemble their pappy Archangel, they also have Thor's old enchanted weapon Jarnbjorn, the same mystical axe that Kang raided from Baron Mordo's tomb in Uncanny Avengers # 6.
This of course transpires moments after Genocide gets his hands on a new Death Seed which will power him up and assume the mantle of Apocalypse.
And then, the former heir of Apocalypse gets cut down by Uriel...
I feel sorry for Genocide as this guy never catches a break. Between being promised to become the new Apocalypse and ultimately falling through the cracks at the end of Remender's Dark Angel Saga to this usurping his position, the guy never gets to enjoy, oh well, at least he was partly responsible for the creation of Tabula Rasa.
Meanwhile the other twin, Eimin Worthington rescues their mother, the Final Horseman Pestilence and kills off the other ones such as Famine and War.
Has Remender been watching too much Naruto? as this is the specialty of the Uchiha especially in the advanced Mangekyou form. Tsukiyomi!
Some other things worth mentioning:
- Captain America and Sunfire are in space (in S.W.O.R.D's THE PEAK specifically) when the remnants of Apocalypse's ship appear. Shiro goes heroic mode by pushing Captain America into an escape pod and tries to make sense out of the madness.
- Thor disappears from the mansion and flies off to Rio de Janiero where he readies himself for the coming space debris. We also get a flashback of sorts with the words Odin left him back in issue 6.
Y'know I'm really running out of superlatives to describe Acuña's work here in UA. Now all I can say is that the art for this issue justifies why I try to buy all the back issues and present stuff the artist does whether. It's that good. Now if only I can find the Wolverine trade where he did the art.
Verdict: 4.5/5
It would have been better if the flirting scenes were done differently. Otherwise, excellent stuff. Even the things that are implied or happens off-panel were interesting enough.

Daniel Acuña brought me back this month thanks to his awesome lines and art for Uncanny Avengers # 8 which is also written by Rick Remender.
In this issue, it's basically a one-shot featuring a fight between a young Thor and Apocalypse.

Uncanny Avengers # 5 Spoiler Review
Here's what I thought of Uncanny Avengers # 5 by Rick Remender and Olivier Coipel.
I dig this issue. It's a good break from all that clusterf**k regarding Red Skull. We get to see a different side of this Avengers team. Remender writes the characters as if they were part of an ad-agency instead of an actual team. They even bring in The Wasp aka Janet Van Dyne to help bankroll the team and inject new marketing stuff to make the team trendy and relevant. After all, it's a hardsell how to make humans like the recently returned mutants.
