In a year or two, when Rick Remender has wrapped up his Uncanny Avengers run, this series will probably serve as a litmus test for readers. If you're the type that demands stories have a clear, tangible, lasting impact on the wider universe, this series may wind up disappointing. This issue only solidifies the notion that many of the deaths and dark developments of recent months not only will be undone, but must be undone. But if you're a reader who cares more about the journey than the destination, it's hard to do better than Uncanny Avengers.
With the Avengers Unity Squad steadily dwindling, it's now up to Captain America, Thor, and the Wasp to hold the line and stop Exitar from delivering Celestial judgment upon the world. Given what Marvel have revealed about the next arc of this series, it's probably just as well Remender is spotlighting his classic Avengers characters over the mutant cast. As with the previous issue, Remender focuses a fair amount of attention on the rest of the Avengers and their desperate attempts to fend off the planet-sized Exitar. It's never particularly bothered me that this series seems so divorced from the rest of the franchise, but it is nice to see a larger context for these events and get an idea of when exactly this conflict is taking place.
