Yeah, waiting out the hard bound trade as well. Collecting AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #0-12; AVX: VS. #1-6; AVENGERS VS. X-MEN: INFINITE #1, #6 and #9; and material from POINT ONE. Yeah, definitely waiting.

Looks great. It may be wrong, but I'm rooting for Colossus.

@TheCheeseStabber: Your right. Issue looks good.

Posted by mikeclark1982

when did it become a year long event? i thought it only lasted six months?!?!?! why are they "Call of Duty-ing" a useless story by extending it?!?!?!

Posted by Pwok21

Looks good. Colossus laying the smackdown on Thor? Yes Please!

I do like the fact that it tells you current situation for both teams e.g. who's injured, captured or has left that roster.

Posted by krspaceT

I hate to say this...but it looks like Phoenix Colossus is raping Spiderman......erm maybe the crazed state of the phoenix pulled some Ultimate Colossus in and drove him mad.....

Posted by Mucklefluga

I still don't like this story...

Posted by HackedLife

Isn't this the first appearance of Archangel since his "re-boot"? Did we know he could still do that? Also, he (and Rachel and Bobby) went back to Wolverine's school and told Kitty he was done fighting in the most recent Wolverine and the X-MEN. I guess this AVX takes place before that?

Edited by DATNIGGA

I read it.. it was pretty good. spiderman saves the day.. kinda

idk I think people are too hard on avx its actually not that bad

OH COME ON! Does Thor win /Anything/ any more??

@Mucklefluga: At least this means that we're one step closer this crap being over.

I thought this was a fantastic issue. The character interactions were great and this story is really coming on strong. I was disappointed with the first arc but it has turned into a really good read. I am looking forward to the rest of the story.

Posted by x_29

Screw this series to bloody hell.

Posted by HackedLife

@Babs: I just have not seen Archangel since Warren died/resurrected and thought he was gone. Maybe I missed something.

Posted by ThanosIsMad

Thor is getting jobbed throughout this entire crossover.

@antemiusenteri: It looked like he was raping Spiderman on one of the covers....at least to me

Posted by antemiusenteri

I don't care what anyone says i like it , cause it means at the end of this thing cyclops is gonna lose come to his senses and his gonna realize what he's done and he's gonna get fired from being the mutant race's "leader", HA! ..........i...i don't like him.

also the mutant race or utopia should be a democracy not a cyclosiship

That's how i felt, but looking at what happened with Spiderman, i can't take the character-wanking anymore. It's inane.

"We lost Thor"...man...that sure is saying something.

You'd think the son of the bloody earth itself could at least hold his own. never mind being the odinson.

I blame Bendis.

When is Deadpool appearing in Avengers vs X-men? He was in the programme guide!

Posted by blueninjapanther

I just wanna see Black Panther kick A$$

Posted by Miss_Garrick

WAIT, one minute! What's with Archangel on the cover? Didn't Warren get a big mind wipe and doesn't have blue skin anymore?!?

Oh. Right. This is Marvel, why am I suprised at more inconsistency?

Posted by Mrfuzzynutz

this would read a lot better as a trade, this isn't one of those, "Oh boy I can't wait" kind of books sadly..but read them in one shot it isn't bad at all

this is almost like a movie tanking in the box-office only to find new life in rentals and international markets lol

Posted by MrKnowItAll

@ThanosIsMad:

As he should. There is no way he can go against the power of the Phoenix. Lets be real now LOL

Posted by broo1232

It's better than Fear Itself but it's being stretched to much six months?

Posted by The Incredible Huck

...and Thor gets his ass kicked once again. Goddamnit I hate this series. Dont the Avengers have any other heavy hitters that the writers can use to show the all powerful might of the Pheonix against? They've been shitting on Thor this entire series.
