At a time when mutant and human relations are in the toilet, the Uncanny Avengers have run smack into a new BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS, and, folks, lemme tell you - they came here to beat up Avengers and X-Men and chew gum, and they're all outta gum. Wake up, babe, a new romance hits that will make readers froth at the mouth. Plus, Ben Urich. Always the mark of a quality and important Marvel Comic. FOOM!
Rated T
While I'm not reading any of the other X-Men titles, this book continues to give me the information that I need to not be completely lost. It is no easy feat to bring a reader into a part of a larger story without them feeling lost. However, with masterful writing and fantastic artwork, Uncanny Avengers is doing just that! If you have not picked up this title, do yourself a favor and check out the first two issues. You won't regret it, and you will be frothing at the mouth for the next chapter of the story!

Garron creates some fantastic visuals throughout the issue. The art is lively, beautifully detailed and delivers on the tone of the story brilliantly. Read Full Review
Uncanny Avengers #2 is a good issue when setting things up. The bigger story of Captain America being a chosen leader, rather than one the mutants are stuck with, is a compelling one that'll be fun to see play out. That said, this issue doesn't have much excitement and bite as the opening issue. Read Full Review
Overall, the comic is entertaining enough with some decent action and good art but it feels like a piece of a puzzle rather than a comic that stands on its own. It's only job is to get the plot from point A to point C, when it could be far more. Read Full Review
Unity Squad is back, and better than ever! With this all star crew, Uncanny Avengers, and X-Men scribe Gerry Duggan, and former Avengers artist Javier Garron are back with this motley crew, as they The issue picks right up where we left off, and thats with the Cap. Krak breaks Captain Americas arm in front of the MLF, and the new Uncanny Avengers roster, before getting away with an atomic warhead, all in the mmThere were a couple things that jumped out at me upon my first read through, and the biggest was Duggan heavily implying that Andreas is either gay, or in love with his sister, both of which could be a very difficult subject Read Full Review

A little predictable and repetitive
While I would call this a step down from Issue 1, I still enjoyed it for what it was. I think the problem with this issue is that it felt a little clunkier than the previous one, if that makes sense. Something I did particularly enjoy was the situation with the majority of the rest of the team trying to "demote" Captain America from being the leader. The story itself was fine, but it was Deadpool's take on everything that made this really good. I liked his reaction to it and his commentary about the mutants as a whole. That was probably the strongest part of this issue for me, was everything else was just solid.
It's ok I guess. I like when Captain Krakoa is in it. Besides those parts it's pretty standard.
All the good from last issue thrown away. Art is terrible, storytelling is mediocre and everything feels rushed.
The ability to turn an interesting premise with awesome characters in the lineup so milquetoast is truly uncanny. Nothing about this book has piqued my interest yet and Duggan seems to be wasting Rogue, Psylocke, and Monet. I did appreciate the X-Men calling out Steve for being the leader of the group, but I don't know if I think anything will actually come of it.
Captain Krakoa and his team are icky. The shower scene made me so uncomfortable, even though Andrea seemed to be consenting.
Well darn I was really excited when I saw uncanny avengers in the previews a while back but this is simply not for me.
