Re: Uncanny Avengers #2 SPOILERS
Glad to get an explanation on how the Red Skull is around, and I'm digging the way Remender is writing the characters. I already knew he got Wolverine & all the folks he's featured in X-Force, but I was pleased to see him nail Rogue as well.
One of my favorite moments:
The look Cap gives Wolverine after the older gentleman hugs Havock for saving him and his wife... almost "I told you so", but not quite. Despite his years & years of experience, it looks like Wolverine can still learn a thing or two from his association with the Avengers.

Re: Uncanny Avengers #2 SPOILERS
Horny teenagers. Police brutality. A waitress that is light on her feet. Wino sluts banging punky mermen. A smooth-talking honky with a butt-cut. A red-faced Nazi spewing hatespeech to a mystical Jewish powerhouse. And that's all the craziness that I can come up with from this issue off the top of my head...
...or Xavier's.
The story has me completely intrigued. Wanda and Red Skull have a great history and Remender's handling of their interaction was superb. I dig the contrast of Nazi using Jewish mutant to try to take out another minority. Disgusting, but so are most of Red Skull's plans. I want to know more about the group of mutants(?) that he has working for him. I suspect that some are just newly-minted mutants and hate what they've become and so would be willing to join up with such a hatemonger.
Still not completely understanding the fierce animosity between Rogue and Wanda, but I'm sure that this will come to fruition with these two becoming close friends and teaming up pretty well. At least, I hope so. I want to see some crazy Rogue chaos magic. Then again, this may just continue to be a source of tension for the team, which Remender is fond of drawing out.
The art, I am not sold on. I like the designs of the new mutants on Red Skull's side of things and the general look of the X-Vengers, but am I the only one who thinks that they all have dead eyes? This is something that just seems to come with Cassaday art, but the character with the most expression in their eyes in the entire issue was the water chick...and she didn't even have pupils. This actually works with Red Skull because it seems creepier to not be able to tell what he is emoting. Just a wicked grin and piercing tiny eyes.
Anyway, I loved the first issue and have decided to invest my time and money into following this series. The second issue did not disappoint and moved the story along without providing much action. I can only imagine how long this arc will take, but I am still interested in where it's going. Remender is a master of the long story and I assume this will be no different. As long as the team doesn't visit Otherworld and add Captain Britain to the team, I am on board for the long haul.

Re: Uncanny Avengers #2 SPOILERS
Good question on the Rogue/Wanda thing. I initially chalked it up to backlash over the whole "No More Mutants" thing, but none of the other core X-Men seem to be holding the grudge as tightly as Rogue. Anyone know if there's anything in pre Marvel NOW Legacy that explains this? Or is it just that we haven't seen a lot of prolonged one-on-one interaction between Wanda & other mutants?

Nothing against Captain Britain. In fact, I enjoy most of his stories and Excalibur is one of my favorite teams. I thought that the Uncanny X-Force story featuring Captain Britain in Otherworld was just fucking atrocious. Maybe it was just the art on that, but that put me off that character for a little while.

With Skull's henchmen, I seem to remember Remender saying that Skull has recruited individuals who have had their lives destroyed due to Mutant activity and then genetically augmented them so that they can fight Mutants. So it's sorta the U-Men concept, but a far different motivation.
Anyway, solid issue--frankly, I'm just glad we're not going to get more than half an issue of brainwashed Scarlet Witch.
Speaking of which, a funny little fan-comic about that:
