Two panels from A VS. X #1 and some rambling.
Two panels from AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #1. And some rambling afterwards.
Where do I begin?
Cyclops is looking through rose-colored glasses (zing!) to think the Phoenix Force coming to Earth might be a good thing. Phoenix will fix things for mutants exactly how? There will be mutant births? And (as I've said before) those mutants won't get their powers until they are teenagers (minus any time travel tomfoolery). Unless they just "activate" like the Five Lights, which STILL doesn't make sense, even by X-Men standards.
It would be nice if Cyclops said "It has to be Hope's decision." Except Cyclops doesn't want it to be Hope's decision.
Captain America can't be wrong. That was the point behind Civil War. And why things fell apart during Secret Invasion, which led to Dark Reign. Yes, it can be annoying, and is why Iron Man was turned into a fascist. But that's how it is. Captain America can't be wrong.
One point that Cyclops *might* have is Cap being too far away from everything. Grant Morrison's reveal that Project: Rebirth and the Super Soldier Serum was originally supposed to kill mutants, not Nazis, may be a factor. (Thanks, Grant! I say sarcastically.)
So, basically, Captain America can't be wrong and Cyclops is an idiot with some minor points. Well, that resolves A VS. X for me!

Lol, wut?
As for the scans, so nice to see that we are getting another series with heroes being douchebags to each other. Sadly, even though the X-Men are my preferred team, I'm gonna have to side with Cap on this one, mainly because Scott is still annoying the crap out of me and recently Hope has started to as well. Issue 0 had a part in it where Hope was talking to Scott and was all like, "I'm not Jean. I want the Phoenix to come and I'm ready for it". Oh please. She's acting like a cosmic force is no big deal. You know what, I just had a thought. I would GLADLY buy multiple issues of this entire series and every single stupid tie in it has if the series ended with Hope getting possessed by the Phoenix, not being able to handle it, and right when everything is going to hell in a hand basket, Jean shows up and is just like, "Girl, please. I got this." and takes the Phoenix from Hope and fixes everything. And then Rachel will be all like, "That's my mom!" and then they high five each other while everyone else is trying to figure out what just happened. The end.
