Uncanny Avengers #5

At the end of the day, Uncanny Avengers is a great read that I wish was an ongoing story. This creative team did a great job of delving into a diverse group of heroes and I would love to see more from this team and the Avengers Unity Squad in the near future! Read Full Review

All in all, Uncanny Avengers is a great adventure with emotional moments you'll adore. It leads to the creation of a new villain while giving Deadpool plenty of time to chew up the scenes. Sometimes literally! Read Full Review

The story was pretty formulaic, the surprise ending wasnt really a surprise, the cast didnt gel, and there were members here whose roles were quite forgettable. I still want to see the concept explored in the new era that the merry mutants are about to endeavor. It just needs the right cast, and creators, and it could be a big hit for both franchises.

Uncanny Avengers #5 didn't feel like an X-Men or Avengers story but a Captain America one, despite being part of the Fall of X event. Read Full Review

In the end this Uncanny Avengers series feels like more of a footnote, moving pieces on the board to where they need to be next, and not something that effectively wrestled with the story that set it up to begin with. Read Full Review

I really dig this team and it sucks this book isn't going to be longer. But this was a cool story. I enjoyed Stevils return to villainy, and that thing with the nuke was super cool. The ending is a bit rushed however.

Any small continuation of what Duggan did with Deadpool is super appreciated here.

this was surprisingly good. Gerry Duggan is personally my favorite Deadpool writer.

I think this came together nicely enough. I think this series had the potential to be something much better, but this was far from bad. The pages with Deadpool were fun and I think Duggan writes Captain America solidly. It was also cool for Rogue to have a relatively big moment in the series by sacrificing herself, even if Deadpool was there to keep her alive in the end.

Good having Stevil back. Maybe it's because I really like this character, that I felt this book was alright. It's a decent final battle with more of an open ending than anything getting resolved.

These Fall of X miniseries really failed to deliver, huh? Another series with what felt like unlimited potential closes with a giant “meh” as it fails to add any major momentum to Krakoa’s final days. Captain America loves being part of a team? Cool. We knew that with the Avengers. Outside of Deadpool (who eats up A LOT of scenes), it never felt like Duggan was interested in writing for any of the mutant characters as more than supporting pieces. And that’s a damn shame because this had one of the more intriguing casts of this era. I also could never get used to Javier Garrón’s art on this series. There were some scenes were it played will, particularly this issue’s major battle, but more often than note it just never felt rig ht for this story. more

What a cheesy, confusing, predictable, story. The art is meh at best. I am beyond disappointed. This book has a ton of promise but Duggan writes this like he’s writing for children compared to his other books. Also no reason for an X title with Avengers in the name not to have had a big time AAA artist.
