Uncanny Avengers squad revealed

[sherkahn]

ComicBookResources has the preview of the new team.



From the article:

"As details of the sweeping "Marvel NOW" initiative begin to take shape, Entertainment Weekly has unveiled the first cover for "Uncanny Avengers," the new series by Rick Remender and John Cassaday that pits a combined team of X-Men and Avengers against a reawakened Nazi-loving, mutant-hating Red Skull.



Although Marvel already revealed the "Uncanny Avengers" team will include Captain America, Wolverine, Thor and Havok, Cassaday's art fills out the team roster with Scarlet Witch and Rogue."

So much for the story possibilities of the X-school and X-factor.

and I am really getting a "90's revenge/X-treme team vibe".

...Are you sure you're not thinking of someone else? Eric Wallace was who killed of Ryan during his craptacular Titans run. Rick Remender's the guy who's been doing Uncanny X-Force and Secret Avengers.

Remender didn't kill Ryan, but his take-over of the title from Simone was pretty jarring.

I mostly know him as the guy who wrote "Sea of Red". Vampire Pirates. It was much better than you'd think such a concept would be, but it felt like the series just kind of tottered to a halt after a while.

I honestly didn't know that Remender did any DC work, let alone All-New Atom. I literally started hearing about him through Uncanny X-Force, which is godly good.

Rick Remender did a number of very bad things to Ryan Choi's series in a very short period of time. It was a giant mess full of fun characters going grim!dark and lots of people constantly clenching their jaws. It was very, very bad.

Honestly, I've heard good stuff about his Marvel work, but the hatchet job he did on the Atom has dissuaded me from checking any of it out.

Like I said a little further down, I didn't know he did any DC work, let alone with the Atom.

That said, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Uncanny X-Force. You could describe it as "grimdark" to some extent, but it's with characters where that works, and it really does deal with the messiness and trauma that comes from the idea of superhero death squads--and it has the best take on Deadpool since Joe Kelly and has singlehandedly made even the most adamant Morrison-haters fans of Fantomex. Very good run.

Most if not all of his Marvel work has been spectacular, it's unfair not to give it a chance. Really, his Marvel work more than makes up for it.
