Geoffrey vs. Uncanny Avengers #18

I forgot to include this in my just posted post. Bah. Fie on me.

UNCANNY AVENGERS #18

A lot of people don't like this book. That is my impression. Maybe sale figures show differently but all I ever read is people trashing it.

Well you people are wrong. Sorry. Shhh. I know it hurts to be wrong. I hate it too. Everyone does.

But you're all wrong about this one.

IN THIS ISSUE!

Havok and Wasp united in a mutant dystopian future built on the ashes of billions of non-mutants!

Rick Remender's long term plotting keeps it all ticking and gives a sense of continuity that is story driven, not just character driven!

Daniel Acuna's art has really developed from several years back. It's always been lush and a delight to look at but nowadays it is all that and a bag of detail-filled backgrounds. I love his retro-sci-fi mutant future. Havok looks great. So does Wasp.

I really like them as a couple.

I REALLY like Havok as an Avenger.

I REALLY LOVE THIS BIT:

Om nom nom. I am eating this storyline up.

There are so many active, strong super-hero writers these days. Nick Spencer, Rick Remender, Jonathan Hickman, Mark Waid, Dan Slott, Jason Aaron, Brian Bendis, Warren Ellis, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Dennis Hopeless, Charles Soule...I want to add G. Willow Wilson to that list.

I know it is not his first love, but I dearly hope Grant Morrison takes another kick at the Marvel can. I have no idea who he would even write. Let's just say...uh...All New Champions. Yeah. Them. Sure. I'd read every issue seven times.

This joke is so good I am including it again.
