LOL

Oh look, Sunfire looks awful again.

I hope Olivier Coipel is staying on. John Cassaday's art does nothing for me. :/

YAY for Sunfire and Wasp !

Also I love how everyone's like "wait what when did Wasp come back?". Probably because it happened recently in Avengers. Which everyone dropped because it was so terrible.

@Veitha: 4 X-men. Wolverine never stopped being a mutant.

I just got back into reading comics and went back to 2009 and just finishing 2011. I just don't get Marvel's cross contamination. I mean the X-men comic I just read has them fighting with the Fantastic Four against one of their enemies, and the other X-Title has them fighting in Hel vs. Thor's. I'm all for the occasional team up that goes from one title "X-Men" then into another "Fantastic Four" and finally completes back in "X-Men", but now it seems they just keep merging teams and comics to "Force" them to pickup multiple books. I can understand some mutants on the Avengers they always have had a few, and it helps with mutant/human relations. But they really don't need 50-70% of the members to be mutants just so they can get crosssales.

Certain press releases say this Wasp funding them will cause problems for her, interesting to see how that'll turn out

Does she even have money left she has been dead? As for cash really Wolverine can grow diamonds on his front yard. Rogue inherited a fortune. And what Thor cannot chip in some Asgardian Gold. Funding should really not be a problem.

For teams like Uncanny X-men, Cable and X-Force, Uncanny X-Force, X-Factor and the Thunderbolts sure.

LOL Agreed. In terms of Wasp, I'm sure there is probably some form of insurance procedures for public super-heroes for when they are presumed dead but come back or are reincarnated. If that's not the case, Jennifer Walters aka She Hulk should get to work drafting the appropriate legal pleadings ASAP since this happens all the time. She could trail blaze a whole new field of estate law.

Was stoked when I heard about the addition of Sunfire then I saw the costume.... seriously when they sad down to draw this did they really look at AOA and think his original costume actually looked better? Still great to see him back in a comic, reason to actually pick this up!

Havoc looks ridiculous.

@Mutant God:She's a fashion designers

Eh, the additions are alright

I don't understand all the hate for Sunfire's costume. This is his classic look, and it's clearly paying homage to his Japanese heritage. I love the AoA look as much as the next person, but it would make sense for him to go with a more normal look. Can't have any scary looking mutants on a team that is designed to show the world that mutants are nothing to be feared.

Turns out she was never dead. They are in the process of bringing her back in the current arc of the main Avengers book iirc

I always found Wonder Man super lame but his recent spin as a bad-ass has done wonders for my opinion.

Sunfire was a huge surprise. Had to google where I'd seen him last.

I can honestly say that I love every member of this team. Now if only the issues were released on time...

Take out Wolverine,Wasp,Rogue and put any other characters.

Wasp is back!!!!!!! Yey!!!!!!!!

The roster seems really cool to me. I never would have thought about Sunfire.

I still don't love that lineup but I'm happy to see Jan.

I hope they bring back Monica Rambeau. They could use another woman and some diversity.

I couldn't agree more.

@Or35ti said:

Sounds awesome! I just wish they'd be more on top of things and get the books out on time. Maybe Cassidy is just generally slow, I hear Astonishing X-Men suffered massive delays.

It's kind of a shame because I find that while his art is nice, it's not necessarily good for all types of heroes or story lines. Some of the characters on the cover, for example, look really awkward.

For some reason, I really, really HATE this line-up! I think I'd be much happier if Cap, Logan and Thor were replaced. I like those characters but just not on this team.

Did I miss Janet coming back to life at some point? I've kinda been out of the Marvel loop a bit. Cool new members regardless.

I hope they bring back Monica Rambeau. They could use another woman and some diversity.

@PrinceIMC:

Sounds about right.

@PrinceIMC:

Well in recent years at least; Wanda was never a villain, just mentally unstable.

Wonder Man created the Revengers and Sunfire was a marauder last we saw, so I'm curious about their choices.

Yeah Wonder Man has made a complete turn around again and is trying to do good again so he's going to be forgiven, Wanda was instantly forgiven because they needed her to fight the Phoenix Five....so my bet is within 2 years Cyclops is going to have his redemption and will be leading the Uncanny Avengers.

@Pwok21 said:

Um, so two heroes turned villain have become heroes again?

They could have made a better choices...

Three really. Wonder Man, Scarlet Witch and Sunfire.

Wasp, Wonder Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Thor....it's kinda like Avengers vol. 3 all over again. Instead of Justice and Firestar you've got Havok and Sunfire.

I'm going to enjoy these new additions. I'm glad to see Sunfire back. That costume is a classic. Wonder Man is cool as hell too. I'm still confused how Wasp came back to life

Man, Sunfire came way out of left field. I can't even remember the last time I saw him in anything (Not counting his AoA self in UXF).

I'm happy with the choices to add to the team but I gotta say I was excited for a smaller team so that way none of these characters suffer background character syndrome .. If Remender handles this like he's handling Secret Avengers I'm sure it'll turn out fine, but still

Does Marvel really need Wolverine in a book to sell it? Wilvie and Rogue wreck it foe. I like the addition of Wonder man and Sunfire.

I found the initial roster to be very boring. But all three of the additions are great choices. Good to see Wonder Man back on the side of the angels, especially on a team with his old flame Scarlet Witch. Likewise good to see Wasp back in action. The most exciting addition is Sunfire though. He's one of the oldest X-Men, but for some reason he's always ignored. His addition might be enough to convince me to keep reading this book, even though I'm not loving it yet.

Man, I was really hoping they were going to keep the AoA Sunfire costume. It's a much better design

I'm glad that Simon is back! IMO the evil, angry, 'misguided' angle Marvel has been forcing on him was just too... forced.

They are 'Uncanny Avengers: Earth's Worst Costumed Heroes'

Caps new suit looks so lame...why does he have Knee pads...he must be getting old.

@deadpool25mm said:

Wonder Man! looks like all that begging got him a second chance.

Yeah I know right? Wonder Man attacks the avengers directly and goes on Tv to denounce them and makes everyone question their purpose and as soon as he asks for forgiveness which was COMPLETELY out of character he gets back in. Still a hero though he escaped his prison

Cyclops who was working side by side with captain america sometimes gets the cold shoulder and high level of expectation all of a sudden goes dark phoenix and helps to restore the mutant population, But is branded a villain because he escaped his prison.

Nice consistency marvel.

@Jonny_Anonymous said:

Oh god Sunfires costume is just has bad as Havok

Agreed. These guys have more or less the same costumes they had when they first appeared in late 60's / early 70's. Time for an update!

What money does Wasp have?

She is a famous clothes designer and Fashion guru. There must be some money in that...

She also inherited millions from her rich scientist dad when she turned 21. See plot summary for Avengers #43.

@Danial79 said:

I've never even heard of Sunfire, so I guess I'll give it a go to see what he's all about... though I found #1 to be pretty average.

You can read about Sunfire's first appearance in the plot summary for X-Men #64.

last i saw of sunfire rogue took his powers permanently and also he lost his legs back in the rogue ongoing series a few years ago. how in the world is he all of sudden not only repowered but has new legs? they could say the phoenix came back his powers (i guess) but no other depowered mutant (moonstar, jubilee, etc) have regained their powers. that is something they need to clarify. are there just new mutants or did depowered mutants get their powers back? glad to see the wasp back i would have preferred here with the new avengers but yeah girl power! three of my fav characters on the same team (rogue, scarlet witch, and wasp). in the future i would love to see a fun girls night out issue once all the heaviness of "marvel now" has subsided

Wonder Man is one of my favourite characters and I was wondering what would be happening.

Now I know. Seriously hate these spoilers.

Yes, Sunfire is the ultimate example of the best that mutant kind has to offer. The fact that most of this line-up look down their noses at Cyclops is laughable.

Olivier Coipel, Thank God.

@frozenedge said:

Its about time Sunfire got used again though last I remember he was paralyzed from the waist down

He wasn't paralyzed, Deathstrike hacked off all of his limbs.

Olivier Coipel should just take over as the regular artist. Marvel should've learned from Astonishing X-Men that Cassaday can't keep up a monthly.
