Reviving this thread

why? why....

[ARkadelphia]

Loved the cast but felt like one interminable storyline at times. I bought the omnibus because I suspect that it will read better as a collection rather than month to month.

Unlike everybody else, I liked the vol 2A storyline (Wanda/Pierrot no longer mutants) best. I didn’t want that done at the time but I liked how it was done.

Left a lot of hanging threads out there like Katie Summers that I would have liked to have been resolved.

Overall, the Dugan run was better. They need to omnibus that one too, as far as I’m concerned.

[Immortal Hulk]

It was mediocre at best.

if you ignore wanda/alex and just focus reaaaaly hard you can make it into a dark angel saga sequel ft the stinky avengers (not you thor)

I liked his Uncanny Avengers. Axis was bad, and what came right before and after were so-so, but far from bad. The run had a solid start and became better with each story until the prelude to Axis. It was a fine successor to his Uncanny X-Force

Trash, mediocre, Garbage, Tumblr Made

This is weird, I remember at the time it was coming out the book was heavily praised and even "Ragnarok Now" got nominated for best story arc of the year, and it is indeed a REALLY good arc, the entire book is really good, I honestly can't see why all the criticism, issues #1-4 were meh, #5 was setup, but #6-23 were epic.

I liked the Apocalypse Twins story vs Kang but I agree his characterization could have more positive team dynamics even if he wanted to make the point of them not getting along as a methaphor for why humans and mutants don´t get along, that´s fine but it would have been nice to see more possible friendships on the team.

I don´t like to blame him for Axis, it was clear to me this was more an editorial and company decision than him,he just wrote the story imo.

I loved the Uncanny Avengers Vol 1 series but it came to an end with the Red Skull/Onslaught/Axis event.
I really hated both Uncanny Avengers Vol 2 and Vol 3.
Though UA Vol 3 did have a handful of good stories.

Personally thought it was good to great in some parts

Great
Initial team roster
some really cool Thor moments
good to great art, I like Acunas stuff a lot
good build up to Axis (First few issues were good and then tailed off horribly)
S Men were cool and new but no where to be seen anymore

Cons
Unity squad fights the whole time
issues following up I think issues 17/18 fall short with the planet X thing

Some of the great moments

I do love the apocalypse twins and unironicaly want luminous to be revealed to be the Mags daughter

Well she has the characteristic platinum hair so it´s a possibility , High Evolutionary always has been interested and Mags and his children but marvel would have to explain who´s her mother, unless she´s a clone of Pietro and Wanda, she could also be part of his "other children" Brevoort talked about following the retcon, the children Magda gave birth to and who are not Wanda and Pietro, but given they never showed what happened to these supposed children it´s possible they are going to be wanda and pietro again.

if luminous WAS the daughter of magda and she came first and was the template the high evolutionary used to experiment on the twins, the internet would explode

Maybe but marvel would have to use luminous more I don´t think a lot of ppl remember her or marvel is working to undo the retcon, who knows.

Well, Apocalypse Twins are some of the best rogues that were created in this decade for Marvel. It had a decent origin, concepts, compelling storytelling and most of all it was nicely tied with some of the characters in the squad.

It had its moments but after Ragnarok Now, the time travel slash back was kinda generic and overtly saturated in his storylines conceptually. Still, in terms of characterization, it was fairly decent read.
