Uncanny Avengers, Vol. 5: AXIS Prelude by Rick Remender, Sanford Greene, Paul Renaud, Cullen Bunn, Gabriel Hernández Walta, Daniel Acuña, Salvador Larroca
3.0

This was okay after 4 fantastic volumes.

The thing is this isn't really a Uncanny Avengers story. Half of it is based on Magneto and his part in leading up to Axis. On the flipside you have a annual which is more of a joke, but it is pretty funny at points. Then there is two issues of Uncanny Avengers, and while I wish it was a actual ending, it instead leads to Axis which I haven't read yet.

This is 100% a set up book. Nothing horrible but nothing great. It's just what leads to Axis, the big event Rick handles. I've heard Axis is the reason Rick Remender left marvel and you can tell he had BIG plans for Uncanny X-Men but Marvel just HAD to have an event.

A 2.5 out of 5.
