Uncanny Avengers has not lived up to my expectations at all.
This book lacks any sort of excitement. Somehow Remender has made the Red Skull with Xavier’s brain non-threatening. I can usually suspend disbelief enough to think that the villain might actually defeat the heroes. In Uncanny Avengers #3, that’s not the case.

I am also not liking Cassaday’s costume designs. He has managed to make Rogue & Scarlet Witch look dowdy. Havok’s new headpiece doesn’t look sleek or modern.

Basically, this merging of Avengers & X-Men doesn’t excite me in the least.

    I have to completely disagree. Cassaday has come back to his days from Astonishing X-men and Rick Remender is writing a great X-men/Avengers story. Original, and I would go so far as to to say as great as Grant Morrison’s run on New X-men taking the characters to a different and new place and supporting it. Red Skull has been vacant since Captain America, and Remender is inserting him into a main title as a true villain and enhancing not only his overall character, but the Avengers as well.

      I’m glad you’re liking it. I’m not going to hate on the title. I’m just going to stop reading it and move on to something else.

      I just couldn’t believe all of the positive reviews and I thought I could provide a different perspective.

    I was looking forward to this series and dropped after two issues…I normally would get with my credit after 100.00@ midtown but I don’t even think its worth that at all. Dropped the ball with Xavier’s brain in the red skull and characters seem to foreign to me and art leaves me personally bored. Dull coloring and seem as my fav artist isn’t into this as previous works. But if you all like it then that’s cool. The only marvel now title is Thor … It has me intrigued and a sense of doom and gloom in the story the gloomy feel of uncanny is the actual comic not the story’s mood.

    I’m still with the series. There’s some great potential here; I just feel like it needs more momentum. Maybe I’m spoiled by how frequently books like New X-Men & the other NOW titles are coming out, but this book feels like it’s lurching forward in broken, stuttering starts.
