PREVIEW: Uncanny Avengers #3

[Push You Down]

The books state that Havok is leader. The writer of the book states that Havok is the leader.

That actually doesn't matter at all. What the STORY states is what actually matters. I'd argue Cable and X-Force showed Havok as the leader better than what we've seen in UA so far...but that's only been two issues. I don't see why it is that big of a deal.

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Uncanny Avengers #3 from the chart topping creative team of Rick Remender and John Cassaday! Just as the Red Skull uses his new powers to incite violence against mutants across the globe, the Scarlet Witch and Rogue make a terrible discovery that will haunt him forever! Can the Uncanny Avengers stop the Skull AND his feared S-Men in time?


Full preview here.

Wow, I just don't understand. This man's art used to excite me so much. What's going on?

As for Havok, I do tend to agree that he doesn't really come off like leader material here. Leaders aren't made by writer fiat, they have to prove themselves and win the respect of their teammates. If Remender keeps trying to tell us that Havok is in charge without effectively showing it, he's undermining his own story.

I hate to be Captain Obvious but we've only had two issues. There hasn't been enough time to show Havok's leadership qualities. Also, Remender hasn't been bashing us over the head with it in the books, just in interviews.

When is the next issue going to be on sale? Havok's leadership skills have been showcased before in X-factor.

I guess you missed him failing that utterly, Looking bad when compared to Madrox is not a glowing recommendation.

Nah let the white males save them nothing says I am not pro nazi like a team of blonde haired blue eyed white males and their pet dog saving the damsels in distress

I mean seriously why do all the bad guys have to look like animals and monsters?

It's the norm these days.

Goodness is beauty, beauty is good.

They killed off Nightcrawler because he wasn't Aryan enough.

So on one hand we have the actual book, as well as the authnor of the book stating on multiple occasions that Havok is the leader.

And on the other hand, we have you, an internet poster, stating that the book and the author is wrong.

Again, with all due respect this is a no brainer. The day you take over writing duties of Uncanny Avengers, you're free to assign who leads the team. Right now, it's simply not your call.

This. Havok is the field leader, but Cap can always give him the boot.
