    I really like Cheung's cover. Makes me wonder how much will AvX be about the teams fighting each other rather than fighting the phoenix.

    I think it's Binary Carol. An avatar of the Phoenix Force combating the Phoenix Force itself would be stupid.

    Peeps may be gripin', but I be likin'.

    Have to admit all the covers have been making me curious. The cover with Cap and the Phoenix Force is really wild and intense. All the covers are beautiful but that one just makes me go..whoa.

    Doubt this match up is even going to happen. Covers (and teasers) are notoriously misleading.

    @The Dark Huntress: Well, it's certainly not any city on 616 Earth, that much I know. The buildings look distinctly sci-fi, and my guess would be that Thor and Binary are sent to launch a preemptive strike on the PF before it reaches Earth/assist Black Bolt, assuming he hasn't already bailed.

    I actually completely agree with this, especially after what we saw of the PF in the Point One issue.

    @Illuminatus: Phoenix solo'ed a planet and Terrax. If you saw the preview for AvX, it connects as they talk about Nova who saw this and raced to Earth to tell them.

    I have't read anything about it, as far as I know they are going to fight because the Phoenix Force would come back to earth and take Hope as it's host, the Avengers want to take her to avoid that, and Summers wants her to become the Host, Hope is like "F***K THAT" and goes away... But I haven't read the issues...

    @Deadcool: Yeah what you just described is what made me loose some interest, how cut and dry the preview (which seemed to be half the issue) was just kind of turned me off the idea, it doesn't seem like it's being handled all that well.

    @BlackArmor: I like the idea, The Mutants have lost a lot, the militaristic mind of Scott would see it as an advantage, and also as a new hope to his race, Hope never wanted to be the mutant messiah, and she doesn't know what is the Phoenix Force so, she leaving for answers is ok for me... Why do you think that is not being handled well?

    @Deadcool: It's reminded me of schism so far, not a bad idea but it's an ends to a means and writing will take a back seat to that means being reached. An example is how they're only looking at the militaristic aspects of Cyclops, sure it makes since that he would want that much power to help the mutant race but he's also had some really bad experiences with the phoenix and him quickly and completely deciding to use it ignores years of story telling. Like I said I don't think anything will be just outright wrong with it but I foresee Marvel conveniently forgetting or ignoring things in order to reach their goal as quickly as possible. It feels like it's going to be a very 1 dimensional story but when dealing with things like the phoenix force you know your cutting stuff out when it's that cut and dry. If this flops allot of people are going to act as if it was the worst thing ever when in reality I don't see this turning out worse than meh but I can't see it being great either
