Uncanny Avengers: Unity - Stars and Garters Review



Finished reading Uncanny Avengers: Unity - Stars and Garters, writer Jim Zub brings this Avengers series to an end as the team are dealing with the aftermath of the Secret Empire event while also looking to move forward. The book opens outside of a damaged Avengers Mansion as the team is join by Scarlet Witch who what's to rejoin the Avengers team that comes with a bit of opposition. While staying the night at the Mansion the team soon find themselves up against Graviton who is looking for the Cosmic Cube. After the Graviton fight Johnny Storm is approached by a lawyer to speak to him about his inheritance of the Fantastic Four as on the other side of the city Beat and Wonder Man catch up over a couple of drinks before seeing Whirlwind caught in a high speed chase. While back at the Mansion Brother Voodoo and the team being to make plans to rebuild the Mansion only for Juggernaut to show up by accident when Voodoo summons some help. Overall this was a good book as it brings an end to the series by giving each of the characters their own story arc allowing for the book to wrap up nicely to set up the future for the team itself along with each of the individual characters. The art throughout the book is great as the character driven moments have a great amount of focus on the characters reactions and interactions to one another thanks to the way that the book is more of a character piece for the team. While the action sequences are brought to life extremely thanks to the way that each of the characters powers and abilities are put on show while still retaining the focus on more character driven moments. 7.5/10.
