Thor versus Apocalypse in the 11th century! The battle between the Thunder God and the classic X-Men villain will rock the timestream in a brand new arc of Uncanny Avengers kicking off this week.

The Apocalypse Twins were born in the last issue and Kang the Conqueror made his move! What could this mean for the team and future of the Marvel Universe?

Daniel Acuna gives the Apocalypse a new look as the new artist on the series. The immortal mutant played a huge role in Rick Remender’s Uncanny X-Force run even though he didn’t appear in his most iconic form. Remender tells Marvel.com how Apocalypse factors into the next arc:

“Well the important thing was to find a way to mix the A and the X. And that was a lot of work. So I threw out most of my outline for the sequel to the Dark Angel Saga. And I kept the four most important things that I was excited about and the things that most closely tie in to characters like Wolverine or Sunfire, characters that have been tainted by this and manipulated by [Apocalypse]. So as I was building [the story], it was important to find how it was an X-Men story and also Continue reading Thor vs Apocalypse in Uncanny Avengers

Sunfire the Avenger!

Sunfire the Avenger? Professor X invited the Japanese mutant to join his cause back when Storm, Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Colossus became the all-new, all-different X-Men. Sunfire said no and Shiro Yoshida’s heroic career has gone to hell. Sunfire even became a Horseman of Apocalypse.

Sunfire, Wonder Man and Wasp will join Rick Remender’s Uncanny Avengers this week. The writer talked about why this fallen hero made the team and his search for redemption with Marvel.com.

“First off, it’s the “what if?”of it all. Here’s the one guy who refused Xavier’s invitation to be part of the “All-New” X-Men. He was the guy who was like, “oh this is the coolest era Continue reading Sunfire the Avenger!

Captain America & Uncanny Avengers Crossover?

Rick Remender is a master writer of Marvel’s bad boys (Wolverine, Fantomex, Deadpool, Punisher, Venom) so hiring him to write the ultimate All-American boy scout was a gamble. Remender is writing the relaunched Captain America and writing Steve Rogers as part of Uncanny Avengers. While Steve is trapped in an Arnim Zola sci-fi nightmare epic called Dimension Z in his solo series, Steve has just battled the reborn Red Skull (now with mutant telepathic powers!) along with Wolverine, Havok, Rogue, Scarlet Witch and Thor.

Does Remender have plans for a crossover? I wanted to share this fan question and answers from Comic Book Resources.

“In year 2 Captain America and the Uncanny Avengers will intertwine quite a bit. And the events within “Captain America” will affect the Uncanny Avengers moving forward as well. That’s all I can say on the matter for now.”

The Uncanny Avengers face Kang and Apocalypse in the next arc and we’ve seen a glimpse of the future with the Red Skull reborn as Onslaught! As I’ve read Dimension Z I can picture Logan cutting loose against those Zola creations! Stay tuned!

I would love to see founding Avenger Wasp on the big screen in the next Avengers movie but it doesn’t seem likely.

Janet Van Dyne fans can celebrate the next issue of Uncanny Avengers! In one his final acts as the Avengers writer, Brian Michael Bendis brought back Janet. Turns out Wasp didn’t die in Secret Invasion but she was in the Microverse! Wasp, Wonder Man and Sunfire join the squad made of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Children of the Atom. I wanted to share part of Rick Remender’s thoughts on how Janet will fit into the Marvel Now and this hybrid team.

“Wasp’s time in the microverse has Continue reading Wasp Joins Uncanny Avengers
