Uncanny Avengers #5 - Guess Who's Back?!

[Uncanny X-Man]

I thought this was a solid ending to a mini that stated out with a strong first issue, fizzled out with the middle issues but then stuck the landing.

I enjoyed Ben Urich's narration in this issue as well as Rogue's hero moment. I think her new/old look is a fun twist after years of the Jim Lee costume, I'm not sure an exact replica of her original costume is the way to go though, perhaps Chris Bachalo's redesign of it from the Steve Seagle run would have been better?



Although I guess it doesn't really matter because Lucas Werneck is already drawing both her hair and her costume differently in the Fall of the House of X preview pages:

This one was one of the last X-books came out this week, so please go ahead and vote for the X-Books Awards of this year. See Sticky thread on this forum. (or my signature for the link)

Agreed, Werneck's version is a lot better. Love the red addition to the costume, it really makes it pop out more instead of the solid green and white combo; also gives an adventurer "rogue" (the role) type feel to it. The hair also is styled better, I think the swept back look doesn't look good with hair that short.

Only time I've enjoyed that hairstyle on Rogue is when X-Men Evolution did it with the Bayville Sirens.

There is only so long you can hold off on Rogue's glorious mane of hair.

Curly, Big hair Rogue is the best Rogue.
Will come back in The Brevoort era.

Call me Grant is just so dumb ... but like the daytime soap opera this entire series has been, utterly in line with the trashy factor.

And now we know that "Stevil is impossible to defeat in Forge's battlesuit", but Deadpool's teeth are strong enough to break off pieces.

[Project Initiative Cascada]

Did the artist read Avengers Annual #10 before doing this issue? Because Rogue’s makeover looks straight from the pages of her debut including the Reed Richards skunk streaks being separated before Paul Smith retconned it into one streak when she joined the X-Men.

And Rogue can absorb through skin without skin...( or muscles, or organs or brain for whatever reason)

That was a fun episode. Probably the best one before s*** hit the fan with the exposure of mutants' existence to the general human public and the fallout from that.

As for this issue, I will cosign those here who were severely disappointed in, if not disgusted by, Duggan's approach to "HYDRA-Cap/Grant Rogers" and his ideology/philosophy going forward . . . and add to that my own discontentment at Black Widow being so casually dispensed with after she was originally killed (accidentally) by "Grant" while trying to stop Miles Morales/Spider-Man from killing him in Secret Empire #7. You'd think there'd be more that could be made of them encountering each other again after that, but no.

Just when you think Marvel citizens wouldn't sink any lower, this issue happened with Stevil Flag Smasher speech buying his koolaid. turning on the real Cap after he tried to nuke the city.

Personally i think there is some betting pool among the Writing and Editorial staff on who can make the "normies" look even more stupid next to another that is label "who can make Spider-man suffer more".

[Hulkout42]

Whatever happened with Deadpool's kid, anyways?

Well if memory serves, she is alive and in the custody of a LMD who has the brain patterns of a former SHIELD agent he trusted to keep her safe even though he doesn't remember anymore.

...yeah that was very, very stupid to read along with his upper half still being combat capable.

Say what? I don't get 'yer point...

nothing , I was just pointing out another of the things that don't make sense in the issue.
I should have quoted lefthanded to make my post make more sense.

She will apparently be a major player in his upcoming series.
