The
new Uncanny Avengers #1 takes place following the events of Avengers
and X-Men: Axis series. Sabretooth and the new Captain America join the
team as the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver head to Counter-Earth to discover the
identity of their real father. The Unity Squad follows as each of the
characters end up at different locations on Counter-Earth. Sabretooth ends up
facing the High Evolutionary. The series could have easily continued with its
original numbering however being a first issue it seems disjointed as the new
characters face off against an unknown terrority. It would have been better if
the new Uncanny Avengers characters faced against a similar and familiar
villain in familiar terrority giving the characters a chance to jell with the
reader.
Odinson
wakes up on Asgardia missing an arm and now faces the new Thor face-to-face in Thor #4. They both battle for control
of the hammer until Odinson realizes it has chosen someone worthy. Thor kisses
Odinson and together they take on the Frost Giants as Odinson finally accepts
the new Thor. This is the first meeting
between the new Thor and the rest of the Marvel Universe as the Avengers make a
cameo appearance.
