Uncanny Avengers #1 Review/Spoiler

[vitruvian]

I know. Every character ages at a different rate. But many people claim that the 4/1 years thing is the closest thing there is.

That's not exactly what I was saying. Barring time travel or suspended animation (or being a Richards kid, Franklin's the exception to a lot of things), everybody in the same world should age the same amount. However, the sliding timeline isn't a simple ratio of our years/publishing years to Marvel years for another reason, which is that more life events seem to have happened in the 60s through the early 70s, things like Peter Parker getting through high school and college and starting graduate school, such that the sliding timeline wasn't really apparent, or was more along the lines of 2:1, for that period of time. It's the later history that seems to get glossed over more, resulting in a faster ratio since at least the 80s. So, 4:1 might be fairly close to the mean, but that doesn't mean that it was consistent over the decades, it's just an average.

This would have been on point if not in the small details. The Thunderbolts stuff happened after HR: Dr.Doom and before Exiles, which itself is before Onslaught Reborn. Hence Rikki's later discovery that she's fictional.

* The Rikki stuff of course gets even more convoluted. The one that came to Earth 616 would then be a doppleganger of the original from HR and as such be presumed the second version. However the HR universe was actually destroyed in the 12th issue cross-over, then a new amalgam reality appeared in the 13th issues WW3 cross-over (HR+Wildstorm) and destroyed resulting in the new Heroes Return reality which means...gosh my head hurts now.

Onslaught Reborn didn't do anything to the Planet Doom Counter-Earth that we were shown, though.

Yes it is. There were some creatures that came through a portal in the Baxter Building and Reed determined that they came from the HR world.

I wonder if the High Evolutionary was able to reboot Franklin's reality engine that was controlling the planet, much like Doom did when he talked Franklin's avatar into letting him take control. It was descending into a chaotic world with rebellions cropping up all over the planet and Doom rebooted it into Planet Doom. When he decided to return to Earth and abdicate his rule over it to Lancer, he used the Negative Zone as a kind of short cut to get back to Earth, using Reed's Negative Zone Portal. IIRC the Negative Zone can act as a sort of Nexus to other universes. Strangely enough, I don't even think Reed knew he was in the building. It was never followed up anyway.

What other universes, though? Planet Doom was left in the Counter-Earth position in the 616 reality, same universe as Earth-616. And nothing since has shown that changing.

Finally caught up with this issue and, man, it was good. Acuna's art is a thing of beauty - every panel in this book is gorgeous. And after the rush job of Axis, it was nice to see Remender's scripting back in form. Loving the new team with Doctor Voodoo and Vision being especially welcome additions. I dig Hickman's Avengers but UA - with its emphasis on action and soap opera - has felt like the most authentic Avengers title out there and this issue continued that trend.

It's always puzzling how quite a few Avengers readers like these books but quite afew X-Men readers don't want RR anywhere near the X-Franchise. Interesting and differing views from the same content.

I felt when he was writing an x-franchise book, X-Force, it was pretty well received.

So if Avenger fans are supporting him when he's writing an Avengers book, and the X-Men fans are supporting him when he's writing an X-franchise book, then he's drawing the support from the people he needs it from so it's all working out.
