    It's getting closer. We've been seeing a lot of teasers and preview pages for the upcoming AVENGERS VS. X-MEN event. Regardless of the majority saying they're getting burnt out on crossovers, there is a bit of excitement going on over this. What makes me more interested is all the hype Marvel is putting into this. We know they have a lot of their top talent working on the miniseries and tie-ins. There must be something huge about all this. If they were just randomly hyping it up, I think that could be the final straw for many if it failed. I'm looking forward to it. We'll see how it goes.

    Today Marvel has released a first look at the second issue of the series. There's a lot of action going on here. It's almost a free for all.

    Well, this kind of implies where Wolverine is going to stand, at least in the beginning. I would not be shocked if he pulled a Peter Parker and flipped sides in the middle of the story, especially as the Host (of the Phoenix Force) becomes more in danger. Especially if the Host is one of the young X-Men (here is looking at you Hope). Wolvy will jump ship, I think, to (in my opinion) the right side. Killing/containing the Phoenix Force is an exercise in futility; it cann't be done, that has been shown numerous times, or even if it can be contained or killed, it never stays down for long.

    I really hope this does not suck as much as I am afraid it will.

    "The Avengers storm the beach of Utopia, determined to save mankind at any cost!" ...... I still don't get how they end up going to war...... at least with Schism it kind of made sense. This just seems like a cash grab to me. There is no way either side can control/destroy the Phoenix force without the other helping (heck they should have even asked FF for help). Going to war with each other just doesn't make sense.

    Plus didn't the avengers just fight cable, who told them that because they kill hope the future was doomed? Even if they believe that Phoenix Force needs to be stop, I would think because of Cable's warning they would come up with a better plan than YOU LETS GO TO WAR WITH THE X-MEN AND KILL THAT HOE HOPE!

    My prediction is someone else beside Hope will become the Phoenix (mb even Jean Grey) then Hope mimics every mutant power around her + mimics the Phoenix force and helps the new host control and maintain its power.

    I really hope that Colossus, Rulk, Thing, etc. get battle damage. I don't want to see an endless Punching Match. It's going to get very dull between the heavy hitters.

    Not the greatest fan of the art. But my worry is about the quality of the story. Like people have said the premise of going to war semems flimsy at best and cynical at worst. Will anybody on either side kill anybody - and will they stay dead??? I have my doubts on that and, if they don't, it weakens the premise of this being all out war.

    I'll be happy to be provded wrong but I've got a feeling this will be another Marvel 'Let's rush it out and move onto our next great idea' set of comics...

    But wait, why is T'Challa choosing the Avengers' side? His wife is a marquee x-man and their children will (more than likely) be mutants. Why not support her? Same for Luke Cage. Danielle is gonna be a mutant. Idk. I'm ready for the brawls, but I'm way more excited for the exposition.

    the noses... i always focus on JRJR's noses especially on frontal shots...

    the little wolverine and little tc'halla up top... just so bad. I'll probably just read teh wikipedia version later so i don't get frustrated with the art. there should be a minimum standard to the art.

    The art, while it's not bad, just doesn't feel epic enough for an event that's supposed to be huge.

    All the drugs, alcohol and strippers in the world couldn't get me to read this book and it has nothing to do with the art   
     
    Civil War = Good idea/Crap execution
    Secret Invasion = Crap 
    Dark Reign = Crap (except for the Thunderbolts)
    Necrosha = Crap 
    Siege = Crap 
    Chaos War = Crap 
    Fear Itself = Crap 
    Spider Island = Good 
    Schism = Crap 
    Avengers Vs X-Men ? 
     
     Why would I pay for more of the same?

    NOT a fan of John JR's art either - haven't been since his 90's X-men - I too, wish they would have picked a better artist there is a lot of them out there: Mike Choi, Jim Cheung, Leinil, even Clay Mann from the Age of X (how cool would it be for Magneto to adopt some aspect of that Age of X costume: I mean seriously - he's worn the same colors for the last 60 years: time for a costume change and embrace the light!) would have been better - IDK - I think John JR - is too connected and that's why they use him...I think he's great at layout, but it feels like he needs someone else to come in and add the details...

    @Cafeterialoca: Colossus doesn't "take damage" anymore as he's powered by Cytorakk. If he gets banged up, it instantly heals. Seriously... Colossonaut could solo win this almost. I do love seeing him rip apart the helicarrier though. That thing about beat the Void as I recall...

    All the drugs, alcohol and strippers in the world couldn't get me to read this book and it has nothing to do with the art Civil War = Good idea/Crap executionSecret Invasion = Crap Dark Reign = Crap (except for the Thunderbolts)Necrosha = Crap Siege = Crap Chaos War = Crap Fear Itself = Crap Spider Island = Good Schism = Crap Avengers Vs X-Men ? Why would I pay for more of the same?
