A vs X
Which team do you stand with?
I know I'm loyal to the X-Men, always will be. Really looking forward to this story line. I know Marvel's burned us before with this crossover business but the preview art has me pretty psyched for this clash of heroes.
These are both my favorite teams and I have been out of the stories for over 2 years. But I might come back just to pick up this series. What is the premise for the battle?
Avengers X Sanction #4 was a great lead in to this series. Not going to spoil it so be sure to pick it up.
But this now has me thinking about something that will obviously come up in A vs X. Which team will Wolvie side with? I've always thought him being on the Avengers didn't make any sense. If his loyalties don't force him to side with the X-Men I'm going to be pretty pissed off. "Don't forget your roots" and all that.
i think wolvies gonna leave the x-men over this deal, to much shit going on with jean(?), and emma, and all this going down right after schism....what i really want though is that new x-men omnibus....two more months...
this book and a recent re reading of the man without fear has giving me a new found respect for junior......
you sir are not alone, i think it was the daredevil mini that did it for me. i now see his work as firmly planted in the miller style and wouldn't want to see it proliferate comics or anything, but i think it meshes great with these "talking head" books done in the mighty bendi.....i mean marvel way. however i can certainly see why he bothers folks so much.
It's been a great story so far. Anyone hear of Marvel doing a reboot similar to DC's new 52? My friend heard a rumor, and i have mixed feelings about them doing that.
i don't get the whole bringing the original five x-men into current marvel u thing but whatever seems we are going to get a john cassaday avengers book........that is Astonishing!! (TM)
.....of course he can't put out but four issues a year, but man will the be pretty....
I am equal parts thrilled, scared and pissed for this whole Marvel Now! business. That said, can't wait to read it. No idea where they are going with bringing the "original 5" back from the past.
I never finished the series. I think I got up to 7 or 8. Is it worth finishing?
I really enjoyed the AvsX Event. It is the first time I was in a position (financially) to pick up the whole series AND all the side stories in the main books. There are many books total taking place during the event (near 100) Titles include: Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Uncanny X-Men, X-Men Legacy, and Wolverine & The X-Men. The following list incorporates the whole main story.
Spoiler-free commentary, I'm pretty happy with the ending. Marvel always builds up better than they resolve and the same can be said here. Im excited for the (over due) shake up on the X-Men side. Even when I think their ideas are nuts (the original 5 returning) once I read it it all makes sense.

I'm trying to find a lot of these issues, to get caught up. A lot of the new series are going into some interesting arcs, based off of how much that storyline affected their lives.
I got the AvsX hardcover, it's a beatuiful book, and a good series, it also has the Vs series and a few other. So far with the new stuff, Avengers, New X-Men, and Uncanny Avengers are amazing....I've heard good things about Thor and the 2nd X-force book looks to be a bit of an old school throw back, the cover at least is AWESOME.
I agree sfw55! All-New X-Men has been really good, and focuses on Wolverine's X-Men and the original X-Men from the past trying to stop this month's new Uncanny X-Men series and it will focus on Cyclops and Magneto's X-Men. It also deals with the new emerging mutant population, thanks to the events of A vs X.
Uncanny Avengers has been one shocking issue after another, what they did Prof. X was one of the worst things I've ever read in a comic to such a highly regarded character. Deadpool and Indestructible Hulk have both been really great also, I just got the new Uncanny X-Force issue when it dropped the other day but haven't had a chance to read it yet, but heard it's pretty cool too.
I've really been enjoying all the baby variant covers, the Savage Wolverine one is still my favorite so far, but anythime I see one I have to buy it, lol.
