Marvel is just getting worse and worse. What the hell happened? After Civil war and Anihilation, I figured they were actually trying to tell good stories. Even the avengers section of marvel has become stale, probably because there are 50 different avengers teams. The only marvel book that I like right now is uncanny xforce. Everything else just feels like. a hype machine cash in. I'll bet wolverine joins the kirby/lee xmen after a few issues.
IMO the XvA has been STUPID AS HELL from the start. This "cross over" should've been both teams working to find out why the phoenix is headed for earth. These big events always have characters being retarded and not acting at all like themselves. Suddenly captain america is pre civil war toney stark. Suddently scott summers goes all the way batsh*t. Wolverine is willing to attack other xmen with the claws out?! Then cap just decks wolverine when they're arguing about him staying out of the fight. WTF!?!?! It's like the 90s. Oh and lets not forget about the utter stupidity of storm and black panther fighting. It's like nobody could say "hey, why are we fighting? really...whats the point of this. WTF are we doing?!" With issue 6, things got a little more tolerable, but that was ONLY due to Olivier Coipel taking over the art. I normally like romita jr, but he's seemed off lately. Like he's not hungry and is just rushing. How it should've gone: Cap goes to utopia, "hey scott phoenix is coming, We think it wants hope. I got toney and henry here, maybe we can figure out whats going on yes? "Scott- We know it's coming, We want it to take hope. Cap: well that sounds insane, I'm not saying that won't work, but we should at least try to find out more, hope can stay here, but we need to work together on this since this isn't just a mutant problem. Boom, premise right there thats more logical than a ridiculous 5 issue fight. There could've been other people to provide the conflict and action. The iron fist connection is intriguing. They should've been going that route from the jump. Rant over.
