Finished reading Uncanny Avengers: Counter-Evolutionary, dealing with the aftermath of Marvel's Axis event writer Rick Remender brings together a new team of Uncanny Avengers as Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver travel to Counter Earth in hope to find answers of their true origins. The book opens up with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch on Counter Earth hoping to find information about their true origins after finding out that Magneto is not their father during the events of Axis. Meanwhile back on Earth Rogue starts to get worried about the two since they have been missing for a week which causes her to form a new version of the Uncanny Avengers consisting of Vision, Captain America, Brother Voodoo and Sabretooth who head to Counter Earth in to help Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch only to find themselves separated across Counter Earth. Overall this was an okay book as it takes this incarnation of the Uncanny Avengers going to Counter Earth which is shown through some great designs and colouring by David Acuña works extremely well for the tone of the book and the world. What lets the book down is the fact that the story is quite a lacklustre as the revelation of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's origin creates more questions than answers. While for a team book there's not much team in it as the book focuses more on the twins story while also giving Sabretooth a good amount of development as he deals with still being inverted after the events of Axis which shifts attention away for the other team members that stories feel incredibly sidelined. 5.5/10.
