Uncanny Avengers #5 Review

3 / 5

Uncanny Avengers #5 is clearly a filler issue. Having stopped the Red Skull from destroying Manhattan in issue #4, we're left this month with the clean-up from the events. In a world that was previously sensitive to Mutants because of the issues that constantly surround them, and then the most recent Phoenix event that almost ruined the world, a crisis in a place like New York in which masses of people are brainwashed into attacking mutants was sure to stir up more trouble for our new Uncanny Avengers. And it does. But just like that long, drawn-out sentence, the book is kind of just a mess. I think there are some really great ideas going on here, but the ambitions are so high that Remender's writing gets the best of him. We literally have Wolverine in two different continents at different points in the story, a very dark, confusing new villain introduced over the first few pages, and even more team members being added to the Avengers team. It's just kind of a mess. 

All-in-all, this is still a great series, I think the quality of this issue was just kind of a fluke. Like I said, trying to do way too much in too short a period. Things will improve if the creative team just settles down and focuses on telling a good story - let the other details come in on their own.
