Cover is nice and about the only thing that has been worth while when it comes to this event.

I love this cover! Rogue and Enchantress look absolutely amazing!

The cover is quite beautiful, the face expressions are depicted very well.

Yeah I'm not usually a fan of detailed faces in comics, but they both look very very nice.

LOL why everyone hating on this event? it's awesome!

"A shocking climax that promises to crack the Marvel Universe to its very core!"

"If you read only one comic this century - This is it!"

OMG!!! I've never heard of anything like this before! I'm so excited!!!

But seriously, I like the inverted covers for this series. I just wish they wouldn't re-use the same hype every time.

Also maybe if they actually slowed down on previewing issue 9 before issue 7 & 8...

• An X-Man's horrifying fate! An Avenger's appalling choice! If you read only one comic this century -This is it!

Hate to be that guy.

Love this cover, Rogue reminds me of Riven on this. :O

OMG, I just noticed the AXIS logo is the same upside down as right side up! My mind is blown!

"• An X-Man's horrifying fate! An Avenger's appalling choice! If you read only one comic this century - This is it!"

This made me laugh. After reading loads of the old "Marvel Essential" volumes, this definitely sounds like something Stan Lee would say on the cover.

My money is on this one. What I'm really confuse about is why xm are portrayed as villains now a day? And villains are portrayed heroes. Not for nothing but... It's interesting :D

Has Enchantress and Rogue have been nemesis or something?I thought the inversion variant is to have hero and their arch nemesis pair together ._.

That Rogue is too busty.. How sexist!! Marvel please fire Adam Hughes and cancel his covers right now!

lol

Rogue looks perky.

Beata

I love Rogue. If only she can get back Ms Marvel's powers. She was more cooler back then.

Gorgeous cover. I love the pairing of these two characters, at least aesthetically.

@blackice709: Not really hating it, just not interested. The heroes act like villains and the villains act like heroes? For marvel that's not really knew, their characters change sides all the time. I don't see any difference between Superior Iron Man and regular Iron Man.
