That's Captain America trying to punch Magneto??!
WTF?

And the art... this is THE Walt Simonson?

I hope Magneto turns Cap's shield into a hat.

I find it funny as hell that a guy wearing a METAL SCALEMAIL SHIRT is attacking Magneto. Not even getting into the shield....

Considering that Val and Franklin Richards (aka the most powerful mutant on Earth although the Cyclops X-Men don't seem to care about that) could take out both the X-Men and the Avengers and then still have time to make it back to the Baxter Building for dinner I have a hard time getting myself worked about this "event". Having entire series built on the premise of Superhero X vs Superhero Y gets old quick (and yes Civil War didn't work for me either).

Have we been told what Xavier is doing right now? Couldn't he with his top level telepathy end this fight at any time with just a thought? or couldn't Dr Strange with his Mephisto fighting power level be enough to magic them all to submission in a moment? Or even magneto...just threaten to crush all major cities under a giant sheet of metal if they dont respect Utopia's territory? Are these top tier people just fighting for the sport of it or is there a reason they aren't using their powers to their full potentials?

Cap: began his career punching Hitler.

Is now punching an Auschwitz survivor.

Way to go, Steve.

Additional irony: they all just got lectured by Red Hulk about not picking fights above their power grade.

Those are some well manicured nails.

And I'll still read it when I find the time and spare coins

Yyyup.
''The Phoenix is coming! The Phoenix is coming! I have this plan...''
''My fist wants to meet your face in a very intimate manner.''
''Your plan is better, and more sexy; let's do that instead.''

Also in that picture it seems Iron Man wears a crazy white wig.

This whole event is balls, and I am tired of events! Especially the superhero vs superhero kind.

But they keep selling so I guess Marvel keeps making them.

...and with that, we're officially back to the 90s with Marvel as well!

Wow, this is very substandard Simonson. Needs more angularity. And it's particularly disappointing because he did some really good work on LSH recently, so he does still have it in him.
