    Default Avengers: Loki Unleashed by Roger Stern and Ron Lim in September

    As reported over on Bleeding Cool, Uncle Roger is returning to the Avengers with Loki Unleashed. The one-shot, set during Stern's run on the Avengers, is scheduled for September.

    Here is the link https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/06...shed-one-shot/

    For me, Stern's run is the benchmark for the team/title. So this is an instant buy. Only downside to it is that it is a one-shot. Really wish Stern was given more work.

    Terror is just a fanboy who thinks Chris Claremont needs to write even more X-Men for some nonsensical reason.

    AvengeStern DLC all these years later is pretty good, though.

    Jude name drops him in every X-related article. The horse was well and truly flogged ages ago. So why not do it some more? Lol!

    Though, in all fairness, he does have a point. The recent stuff written by Claremont, while nothing groundbreaking, have been decent yarns. The guy knows the characters inside and outside. Yes, his writing has been dense at times. But, when his excesses are reined in by a good editor (such as they were in X-Men Black Magneto and the Cyclops story in the Exterminated one-shot), he is still every bit the storyteller.

    Besides, people are saying the current X-writers are just aping Claremont. So why not just get the genuine article to do stuff?

    Apparently he still does the odd cover for Marvel here and there. But, yes, he needs to get more assignments (unless he willingly chooses to not to do stuff on a regular basis.)

    Agreed. I would love to see Ron Lim doing artwork again for the Silver Surfer.

    More Monica is always a good thing. I'm convinced more than ever that she's going to be a big part of the next Captain Marvel movie.

    Ron Lim is the greatest Silver Surfer artist who along with writer Ron Marz worked on the best run of Silver Surfer ever.

    Agree with you about the Lim/Marz run, but don't forget the previous runs from both Englehart and Starlin which were also great.
