Uncanny Avengers #12 is packed with even more evil promising the origin of the Apocalypse Twins, Kang’s endgame revealed and an unholy pact between the Red Skull and…Ahab.
Yes, the ruthless mutant hunter from the future joins Rick Remender’s time twisted epic.
One of the big reasons I’m sharing this story is because celebrated artist Salvador Larroca (X-Men, Invincible Iron Man and currently Cable and X-Force) penciled this week’s issue focusing on Kang the Conqueror.
Remender tells Marvel.com how the issue will play to Larroca’s artistic strengths.
“The issue that he’s working on right now has a lot of heart and a lot of crazy sci-fi stuff dealing with Kang, and Salvador is amazing at cooking up incredibly unique visions of technology in the future. I can’t wait to see his Kang and his home. In juxtaposition to that we have some very textured and dirty moments in this issue in the Red Skull’s camps where we needed somebody who could convey the raw emotion that Salvador has such a grasp on.”
An old X-villain enters the saga – Ahab – how will he be connected to Kang and the Apocalypse Twins:
“We’re going to be getting a closer look at what Kang put the twins through. While the main story continues to move forward we’ll be taking a few looks into the distant future, and the not-too-distant future, to see what Kang did to ensure the Twins see humanity as the enemy. This will include the Twins time growing up in Ahab’s concentration camps,” Remender says, “Kang wants to ensure the twins see humanity’s vicious contempt for the mutants. In order to help accomplish this he dropped them off at a young age to spend a number of years in Ahab’s camps. Kang’s motives for this will be revealed, so don’t miss this issue.”
