Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men #1So, the whole X storyline of unequal rights and prejudice have been played out pretty often. That doesn't mean that the stories are any less emotional when done correctly.
Essentially, this story's about the X-Men in San Fransico being confronted by A-Hole, Simon Trask and his followers. Trask heats things up with some panic-inducing dialogue to drive his people into fearing for their lives and causing riots all over the greater San-Fran area. Enter Norman Osbourn and his Dark Avengers to keep the peace in the land.
There are some twists and turns in this single issue involving Emma Frost and a former leader of the X-Men that add some cool peaks to the storyline. However, the coolest thing about it was how they use the Dark Avengers and seeing how their different from the actual good guys. I've not read the Dark Avengers but this issue almost forces me to get into the series.
All the Dark Avengers are interesting in their own ways particularly Bullseye and Ares. As someone who doesn't know much about the characters it's really interesting that Ares appears to actually be the God of War. I wonder what a meeting between him and Thor would be like.
Epic, I'm sure.
I've always thought Bullseye was a pretty big B.A. but when you've got him as a "good guy" who wants to kill but can't, it's really intense reading. After not killing some rioters, Bullseye says to the cops "I don't know how you guys do it because not killin' em sucks."
Pretty gruesome right.
I can't wait to see where the story leads, hopefully somewhere with some kind of definite ending but that's unlikely. Be here for the review of part 2 in the story which takes place in Uncanny #513.
4/5 stars
