Avengers vs. X-men #3 preview

[sherkahn]

ComicBookResources.com has the preview of #3, as the split in the argument on the Avenger's side is revealed and hot heads lock horns.



As I have argued before, Captain America only wants to take Hope to someplace where the Phoenix cannot reach her and contain the problem. Logan has a more... permanent.... solution.

Huh. At the very least, this reaction makes sense. Are you sure we're still seeing AvX here?

Are they going to those places searching for Hope though? Why there?

[sherkahn]

I'm going to guess places where she can mask her mutant signature with the other meta-humans.

"When in doubt, kill it" really is Logan's default setting, isn't it?

I don't think it's a good idea for Cap to be punching a guy with an Adamantium Skeleton in the jaw.

A vs. X may be amusing when the smoke clears but so far it's a lot like much Civil War was to me. A few interesting moments, but mostly a lot of people REALLY acting out of character so they can have their big super hero battle royale.

In a related note, this story makes no damn sense. I would think the odds of stopping Phoenix from destroying the Earth would be better with a host sympathetic to Earth trying to influence it. Odds are it wouldn't work, but what's stopping Phoenix from just trashing the planet now?

I see the "stupid beam" that affected the X-Men last issue is now getting to the Avengers. Cap should know Scott's already tried the "hitting Logan to make him listen" trick. If it didn't work then, what makes Steve think it'll work now?

Wow

[elwood]

I am sorry, but thats just stupid.

They are on a transport going somewhere, have a disagreement, and so Cap punches him. I dunno man, when I disagree with a co-worker when they tell me "I don't agree with your idea", my default reaction is not to hit them with a chair.

I guess they did not want to spend panels with a protracted argument between them that would make sense to lead to blows. But still... And this is Brubaker? Man, I expect more from him then this. I hope the preview is just making this look worse then it really is.

In further fracturing, the events of New Avengers 25 imply (SPOILERS)



that Iron Fist has been charged with protecting the Pheonix's host by his masters, so he might be joining team X-Men

[filthysize]

Is it just me or is anyone else annoyed by the rotating writers? What on earth made them decide to do a series this way?

[valtyr]

The lack of dynamism in Romita Jr's work lends the final panel an air of bland tedium. Paradoxically, I find this highly amusing. Truly, this is just another day at the office for Captain America. He's going through the motions; walking through the part. Nothing seems to penetrate his... heart.

[lascoden]

So...What happened with Utopia? Did they just stop fighting?

[jaybee3]

I haven't been reading this (except here) because Superhero X vs Superhero Y stories bore me (I blame Civil War) but is Rachel involved in this storyline? In any fashion? Considering her own history with the Phoenix it would more than make sense for her to be there.

And I would be really P.O.ed if they kill off Hope as they way they bring back Jean. At this point Hope is a more interesting character (and with more potential).

[silverzeo]

Oh, a superhero team fighting amongst themselves while fighting another hero team? What a nightmare.

[jlbarnett]

the Avengers have Dr. Strange's so number so they might be able to move her to another dimension

[shadowpsykie]

hmmm i might have to pick this up... people are actually THINKING and TALKING... not JUST knocking eachother out ;D

[sun_man]

God I hate this event

[kraesil]

Ugh. Stupid stupid stupid. Stupid Wolverine, stupid phoenix thingamajig mess, stupid AvX, stupid Marvel.

Take your pick.

"Hey, Scott, we think the Phoenix is going to come to Earth and possess Hope, we want to do something to make sure Earth is safe, HEY WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME AMERICA PUNCH!"

"Hey, Logan, you kinda chased after that girl and scared her and now she's lost in the wind, we really need to bring her in HEY WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME AMERICA PUNCH!"

"Excuse me, I asked for no pickles on this burger HEY WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME AMERICA PUNCH!"

I think we've pegged Marvel's next Captain America book after AVX.
