Uncanny Avengers: Average The Earth Review



Finished reading Uncanny Avengers: Avenge the Earth, this concludes writer Rick Remender's story that started in The Apocalypse Twins. The book opens up eight years after the destruction of the Earth by Exitar the Executor with all the mutants living on a new home called Planet X as Havok is being chased by the X-Force which consists of the former members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants as he and his wife the Wasp destroy the Tachyon Dam onboard the Ark that brought everyone to the planet in the hope that help will come through. After Wasp is captured by Magneto as Havok heads home to see Beast and his daughter as Kang and his team of inter dimensional super beings hoping to fix reality with Havok's help as Kang takes Havok's daughter as a bargaining chip. Meanwhile the X-Council consisting of former X-Men lead by Eimin, an Apocalypse Twin, agree to stop Havok destroying their safe-heaven as they head to his home to stop him by using the Wasp as bait. While Thor leads a small team into the Ark to rescue Wolverine and Sunfire who have been in a state of torture since the formation of Planet X. With the Avengers back together Kang and Magistrate Braddock send the Avengers consciousnesses back to before the timeline changed giving Earth another chance to save itself from destruction. Overall this was a great book as it showed the world of planet X with the battle between Havok and the X-Force while the scope of the final battle at the end of the book was edge of the seat action and as there was the big battle on Earth while a smaller more personal one was being fought above the Earth. Havok's narration also brings a personal aspect to the story with some of the narration containing his thoughts at specific moments within the story. 8/10.
