    Now I am looking forward to the entire Avengers vs. X-men. But so far I am experiencing some little draw backs.

    Firstly I am Team X-men all the way but I have to admit I am not sure if they will win. I think they should as they are marvels top recognized team. Besides X-men #1 is recognized as the top selling comic book of all time. They are very popular and take a moment to realize how many films, merchandise, animation shows and more this team have produced just because of their name. But with the big introduction of The Avengers film I have doubt that marvel will shift it in their favor to gain popularity rates equal to the x-men. But putting that all aside I wanted to ask is anyone happy with things so far? First we see that Iron Fist have history with the phoenix for some apparent reason. Then we have little to no involvement so far with Rachel Grey and Professor X (Who both have history with Jean Grey - The Phoenix). While we do have a good showdown with heroes what is the primary goal in the end? I wouldn't be surprised if Wanda found out about how big the phoenix threat is and resurrect Jeans body to solve everything. But having a hero war does little to the situation. People should pay attention to potential host like Kid omega, Rachel, and others including Hope. Wasn't that the goal of the imperial guard in Phoenix: Endsong (Whose involvement has yet to be revealed).

    So far certain things should be hinted at but instead we see Iron fist involvement and the avengers vs. the x-men fight. My main purpose is not who wins (although I want the x-men to win :D), I just want a good story. Hopefully you guys agree and I don't come off as ranting. If the story sucks I would be mad but laugh because it would just place Rick Remender on top of five writers that write a huge bad event compared to a writer who wrote a small exceptional arc (which is The Dark Saga).

    I have to disagree that the X-Men are Marvel's top recognized team. The Avengers are generally referred to as Earth's Mightiest Heroes and have vastly more powerful members on their team than most X-Men. They also have a better track record against more powerful opponents. I would agree that X-Men is Marvel's top selling franchise title, though.

    I don't really see a point to this crossover, and can't really get too excited for it, unfortunately.

    I would say X-Men is Marvels cash cow, top team without question.....might be different after this summer though
     
    I agree this crossover is desperation for Marvel seeing as DC is stirring news all the time and maintaining good sales

    Edit: My point was that AVX will be a mess.....that may have been lost in translation.....I may have overdone the joke a bit
