I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

The Uncanny Avengers: Unity Vol 1: Lost Future by Gerry Dugan (Writer), Ryan Stegman (Artist), Richard Isanove (Colorist), Carlos Pacheco (Penciler), Mariano Tribo (Inker), Dave Meikis (Inker), Scott Hanna (Inker), Antonio Fabela (Colorist), VC''s Clayton Cowles (Letterer)


After the war between the X-Men and the Avengers settled, Captain America decided to bring together members of both the X-Men and the Avengers to form a new group called Unity Squad. Now that the world is covered in Terrigen mist which is causing problems for the mutants physically and is giving rise to new Inhumans, the Unity Squad has added a new member--and Inhuman to show that they can all get along, even if tensions are high within the group.  When Cap hires Deadpool, Spiderman quits, leaving Rogue, Quicksilver, Synapse, Voodoo and Johnny Storm.  Deadpool is needed on the team because he brings in merchandising money that the team really needs.

The city is attacked by plants and bizarre dogs that Synapse can't reach and she can reach any being with an electrical system such as humans and animals.  Voodoo says that these animals have no soul and every animal has a soul.  Johnny goes to the local M.I.T. and seeks help from the scientists to find a cure for the plague that is affecting the people from these plants.  Quicksilver gets bit by the plants and begins to turn into a plant.  When things begin to look really bad, Cable from the future appears to fix their mess.  It will provide a surprise as to who is behind it.   

Cable is sticking around to help Rogue, Johnny Storm, and Deadpool find Red Skull's lair.  They storm the bad guys gambling ships until they finally find someone who has information as to where his stash is.  Cable finds out that Strife put an anchor on him for the next time he used time travel assuming he would use it to go into the future.  Now he must find a way to get rid of it so he can go back to his time, leaving the other three on their own to break into Red Skull's vault.  But they'll have help from Gambit who heard about the stash and their involvement and wanted a piece for himself.  
While this is going on Synapse is exploring her options on the Inhuman world with Queen Medusa. But she doesn't agree with the Queen completely and wonders where she fits.  Synapse is a great character in that she's new to this and didn't ask for it and has to deal with anger from Rogue who deals with heavy health issues due to the Terrigen mists.  That's another thing, Rogue is different. She's meaner and angrier than normal.  Quicksilver is pretty happy because he has found out he is not Magneto's son, so he's living it up.  Deadpool is full of plenty of hilarious quips.  This is a great comic with a fabulous storyline and I give it five out of five stars.
