Uncanny Avengers: Unity: Civil War II Review

Finished reading Uncanny Avengers: Unity: Civil War II, continuing the series as writer Gerry Duggan as the Avengers find themselves dealing with the events as aftermath of Marvel's Civil War II. The book opens with Deadpool reacting to the death of Bruce Banner which leads to Wade braking into Hawkeye's prison cell with the hope to break him out which Clint declines. Meanwhile Medusa has invited Captain America to meet with Ulysses who has see a vision of Cable fighting within a war. This leads to Captain America to meet with Cable before he gets onto a plane with Rouge and the villains Sebastian Shaw and Toad in hope to find a cure for the mutants being effected by the Terrigen Mist. The second sees Deadpool and Rogue trying to come to terms with Captain America ending the team when Doctor Voodoo teleports into the room with the news that the Hand has taken the body of Bruce Banner with the hope to resurrect the Hulk under their control. This leads to the team to be called upon as they travel to Japan where they meet up with Elektra as the heroes team up in hope to find Banner's body only to find out that the Hand now has resurrected a mindless Hulk. Overall this was a great book as its able to bring some great character driven moments to the book within the events of Civil War II especially with the conversation that Deadpool and Hawkeye have together. The writer Gerry Duggan brings a lot of great comedy to the book thanks to the way that some of the characters interact with one another, with the aftermath story set in Japan is able to mix the comedy with the large action set pieces extremely well thanks to the way the the characters react to the situation they find themselves in along with the way they interact with one another as well. The book's art it's amazing throughout from Ryan Stegman's art on the first part of the book helps to bring a slightly darker tone to the backdrop of Civil War II, while Pepe Larraz's art on the second part of the book brings the larger fight scenes between the Avengers fighting the Hand and the Hulk to life extremely well along with the way that some of the book's more visual comedy is brought to life. 8/10.
