Uncanny Avengers: Unity: Lost Future Review

Finished reading Uncanny Avengers: Unity: Lost Future, in the months since Marvel's Secret Wars event the mission of a unified Avengers team no loner means unity between human and mutants but the Inhuman community as well and with writer Gerry Duggan bringing Deadpool onto the team makes for a very unpredictable ride. The book opens up with Deadpool leading the Avengers unity squad into battle against the Super-Adaptoid after Steve Rogers required him into the team when he help to get a sample of the Terrigen Mist to help find a cure for Rouge who has been affected by the mist. After beating the Adaptoid Spider-Man decides to leave the team before the current roster have their first press conference. After having a moments to themselves only to be called to Boston as strange plant life and creatures have appeared and causing havoc as a figure called the Shredded Man has turn the city into his own horrifying ecosystem. The second story sees a group of the team crashing a casino out at sea to find information about the Red Skull which leads to Deadpool, Rouge and the Human Torch heading to Bagalia where the group meet up with Gambit who is braking into a vault. The final story sees the Wrecker barging his way though Avengers Mansion which has now become a costumed them hotel as Deadpool and Quicksilver try to stop him. Meanwhile the Avengers Inhuman member Sunapse is taken to New Attilan where she and Medusa take about the recent events with the Shredded man. Overall this was a good book as it re-establishes the Unity Squad of Avengers with the newest members of Synapse, Human Torch, Deadpool and even Cable bring bring some great character interactions with members who have been on the team longer as Deadpool being a part of the team bring some hilarious moments while Cable brings his own approach to different situations which plays off very well within the context of the book. The introduction of the newest Inhuman and Avenger member, Synapse is great as she gets a nice bit of develop with how she is related to the villainous Shredded man and her interactions with Medusa helps to show how different her views on the Inhumans are compared to other new Inhuman characters that have appear in other Marvel series. Artwork by Ryan Stegman in the first part of the book tone and an almost horror feel to the story with the Shredded Man as his design and the way his powers work feels like something out of a horror story. While Carlos Pacheco's art towards the end of the book feels more smaller scale story of the team trying to find the Red Skull and fits the later part of the book. 7.5/10.
