    A Confusing Addition

    I picked this up from the library, expecting the epic saga of the Avengers vs. X-Men event. What I found was a rather slap-dash tie-in that's basically a bunch of "who would win scenarios." Not only that, but I disagree with most of the outcomes. And, with them being split into multiple fights per issue, a la A+X, there's no context for any of the fights and nothing memorable or redeeming about it. On top of that, the wins and losses are rather lopsided, as one team wins constantly for a while until they switch. Also, some of the fighters are used multiple times; considering how large a cast of characters from either side Marvel had to work with, this was wasteful and redundant.

    The only redeeming factor about this is the AvX Babies issue at the end, but, seeing as I already own it, I found nothing worth reading here. Avoid if you can, and don't get this mixed with the real deal.
