   Wonder Man floats down on the Scarlet Witch sitting on a park bench. The time apart has made them a bit distant to each other, and Wanda was forced to move on. The news hurts Simon, and though he understands, needs some time alone to think about it all.

"Yeah? Well I break up with you FIRST! HAHA!" (flies off)

   Meanwhile, Human Torch and Rogue fly above the city while Johnny navigates his new life as a billionaire. He decided to do good things with it, creating fundraising arms and non-profits. But one final gift to the team was that he bought back Avengers Mansion. Rogue is overjoyed and almost burns herself in the wake of the news.

SURPRISE!

   Speaking of awake, Synapse wakes up on the mend in the Inhuman hospital. An unlikely friend, Hellion, stops by to visit and hands her a letter. She reads it and discovers that Quicksilver has left the team to find himself - although clearly very sorry for his actions that put her in the hospital in the first place.
   Wanda uses her powers to check on her brother, and delivers the news to Dr. Voodoo that he's well. But he's not the only one in need of self reflection. She plants a big kiss on him. Jericho has often been one to focus on his inner self. Perhaps it’s time he navigated that path with a friend. 

More like the Scarlet Rebound Witch. Jeez, you like JUST broke up.

And across town, Rogue does the unthinkable. She testifies in defense of the Shocker - a lifelong criminal who showed during recent events, he deserves a second chance. She heads back to Avengers Mansion and Wasp informs her she has a visitor.
   Captain America has returned once again to visit his old teammates, and although in the midst of his redemption tour, feels the need to highlight Rogue’s accomplishments. She stops short of accepting his offer to rejoin the Avengers though. With that, the group shares one more hug in front of the old founders statue and the Uncanny Avengers comes to a bittersweet and uneventful end.

Cap's the only OG.

   So this is the final issue of a book that, in all fairness, had stumbled a bit coming off Gerry Duggan’s run. Either way, it was still good. Although this isn’t the first time that Avengers and X-Men have teamed up for the longterm, this particular group of them worked well together. Going forward, Avengers becomes a weekly series. Now, I’ve read weekly books in the past and I have to say, a lot of times it’s not as awesome as you’d think. It’s been a long time and I’m gonna give it a shot, but full price for a weekly book is less than a little unfair. Either way, we’ll burn that bridge when we get there. For this particular issue, and for this series finale, I give it a 9/10.
