Yesterday the second issue of AVENGERS VS. X-MEN went on sale with plenty of fighting as well as a tiny development with Hope. Make sure you pick it up to keep up with what's going on.

Today, Marvel has released a first look at the fourth issue. It's safe to say that because there is so much at stake and this is such a massive battle, everything isn't going to be resolved in the third issue (on sale May 2). Take a look at the scope of the fighting in issue #4.

I still find it hard to believe Namor would side against Captain America. At least, not without a sit down first.

Why don't the X-Men send their Omega Level mutants to take on the Avengers powerhouses? If Hope is the Phoenix's host I'll be disappointed. They can get more creative then sticking it on Jean & Mimic's cheap knockoff. Here's hoping Wanda shows up & annihilates Hope.

@Namor1987: I dont get it I mean cyclops is in possession of exodus & Leigon. even tho exodus isnt omega & exodus wants him dead but im sure if he told him the situation he would be happy to oblige. & Leigon is a weapon that cyc can use Im not sure about the other omegas tho

Jean's dead, nate is weak, Rachel & Kid omega are knocked out, iceman is supposed to be in this, I belive vulcan is dead & hope is running for her life.. most of the omega's arent available

Really dislike the cover. It's yet another one that is totally different to what's happening inside (like the recent X-title where Wolverine, Northstar and Gambit are in their X-duds on the cover and in their civvies inside!). Either they are revealing Hope is going to be the Phoenix waaay too early or they are doing another mis-leading cover.

The whole thing started as an ugly mess, with the Capt/Cyke irrational behaviour and I fear I won't be with it for much longer.

how badass would it be if the phoenix force was actually the Sentry, great time to bring him back or if he wasn't the phoenix he'd be able to redeem himself and prove a hero by helping defeat the phoenix

I meant like all available Omega levels. Too bad Wolverine hate Cyclops or he'd have access to his squad(s). Legion is basically a disturbed dog on a leash. Genesis could help but he's being setup as the next Apocalypse & I suspect Hope & him will clash some time down the road. Psylocke is available.

The heroes of Marvel are so corrupt and destructive it's a wonder their earth isn't spotted with more craters than the damn moon. Always picking fights, punching faces- they've never been so reckless. Also, if Cap and Cyclops started beating each other to a pulp why....WHY do the members of both teams just blindly follow suit and start kicking the crap out of each other over the caveman-like impulses of their leaders? They're just as bad a threat to their world as any other villain.

I also have a sneaking suspicion Marvel is once again pimping out the implied return of Jean Grey to pull out last second and rob of us of some cash.

Is this series good? I wouldn't know, I'm not going to read it because Marvel has burned me a few too many times and has absolutely scorched some of my favorite characters.

Why Romita Jr Marvel? WHY???

I really can't understand it yet, you have this epic comic, THE X-MEN VS THE FUCKING AVENGERS man, most powerfull heroes of the Marvel Universe fighting and on the top of that THE PHOENIX FORCE, something epic as hell, and you make this overrated and useless dude draw it.

It makes no sense. Like back in the 90's Liedfield had a job.

The panel that has me most intrigued is Thor smacking the Phoenix with Mjolnir. For some reason that smacks of PIS to me but maybe I am reading too much into it. Great stuff otherwise!

Wow... Can;t believe they're actually featuring Hepzibah in this event!! She hasn't been useful since Messiah Complex! Last time she was seen was like that stupid SWORD mini series or something!! But I'm glad someone brought her back! Hopefully we'll see more of her. So I'm guessing she chose Cyclops' side...
