Avengers vs. X-Men (Event)

Uncanny X-Men 15 Gillen , Acuna. Uncanny X-Men 16 Gillen , Acuna. After the battle, Noh-Varr checks in with the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire who informs him of the coming Phoenix force and orders him to intercept and contain it at all cost Thor equipped with Beast's device to contain the Phoenix is able to force it away from Earth. Before the team can celebrate, Noh-Varr declares that he will take the collected energy back to the Kree. The Avengers meet him, take the energy, and declare him an enemy of the team telling him never to return to Earth.

Noh-Varr is left in Hala running for his life from the Kree. He is discovered by Emma Frost and confronted by several X-Men. Instead of imprisoning or murdering him, Cyclops sends Red Hulk back to the Avengers with an "X" carved in his chest. Nevertheless, Red Hulk considers that Cyclops lost the war the moment he spared his life. Rachel finds Hope, but her mind is drawn to the psychic plane, where she meets Professor X.

After realizing that he was just keeping her busy to give the Avengers an advantage, Rachel engages him in a psychic battle, knocking everyone out, except Spider-Woman and Professor X. Later, he states that he cannot fight his own students and erases his presence in the battle from everyone's minds. It is later revealed that they were informed about Mister Negative's plan by Madame Hydra , who wanted to get rid of her competition. The Avengers bring the mutant children left behind by the X-Men after the battle on Utopia to the Avengers Academy to keep them from interfering in the war.

Hercules organizes a sports competition between the Academy students and the mutants to ease tensions between the groups, but after a while the mutants choose to exclude themselves. Meanwhile, Sebastian Shaw breaks out of his holding cell and goes on a rampage. Elsewhere, X tries to decide whether she should join with her former friends from Utopia or her current friends at the Avengers Academy.

After talking to Finesse , she witnesses the young mutants from Utopia, now joined by Ricochet , Wiz Kid and Hollow , confronting the Academy students. When Juston Seyfert and his Sentinel try to stop the young mutants, X attacks the Sentinel and forces it to retreat, deciding that the young mutants should not be deprived of their free will to leave the Academy if they want to. Shortly after this, Shaw appears to the teenagers. After both sides agree that the mutant children shouldn't be confined against their will, Tigra suggests to fake a battle in order to justify their escape in front of the cameras at the Academy.

After the fake battle, Surge and Dust invite X to join them, but she declines. The young mutants leave, but Loa decides to stay at the Academy. After the Phoenix Five return to Earth and start to reform the world, X feels that Seyfert's Sentinel should be destroyed, as it still has the directive to exterminate mutants, but he argues that this directive isn't its primary one, and that it learned to overcome it. As Emma Frost destroys Sentinels all over the world, she eventually arrives at the Academy and demands to either destroy the Sentinel or have its programming erased.

Juston refuses, arguing that it would be like erasing the individual that his Sentinel has become; Giant-Man, X and the other students decide that he is right and attack Emma. Finesse asks for Quicksilver 's help, but he refuses, stating that Sentinels only exist as mutant-killing machines; nevertheless, instants after Emma destroys Juston's Sentinel, Quicksilver replaces its central processing core with the one from another robot, thus saving the Sentinel's "life" and memories.

Jessica Jones returns to Avengers Mansion with her baby after going into hiding because of death threats made by Norman Osborn. Jessica tells Luke Cage that she no longer feels that the mansion is safe for their daughter and asks him to leave with her but Luke retorts that they will not be safe anywhere. The argument is interrupted by the arrival of Captain America who explains the impending threat of the Phoenix and war with X-Men.

Jessica then leaves the mansion while Luke heads off to Utopia with the Avengers to confront the X-Men. Centuries ago, the Yu-Ti Nu-An had a recurring dream associating a red-haired girl with the Phoenix and a dragon. He later finds a matching red-haired girl named Fongji in the streets of K'un-L'un and has her trained as the Iron Fist.

In the present, as Lei Kung reads this account, Nu-An tells him that those records have been sealed until the Phoenix returns and now he must teach Iron Fist what to do. Fongji is successful in her test and becomes the Iron Fist, shortly before Da Vinci sees the Phoenix coming towards Earth.

Spider-Man teaches Hope that "with great power, there must also come great responsibility" and makes her reflect about this as the potential Phoenix host. After getting out of their cells and defeating many X-Men, they manage to escape Utopia - only to find out that all the action happened in their minds, as they are still imprisoned in Danger 's virtual reality program.

When Namor arrives after the others have left, Captain America asks him to stand down, but Namor refuses, acknowledging that he still respects Captain as a friend and ally. After the battle against the Phoenix is over, a group of New Avengers transport Emma Frost to a prison, but their vehicle is attacked by a group of Purifiers , eager to assassinate her.

While being attacked by the Purifiers, Luke Cage thinks about his wife and daughter, and fights back. After the Purifiers are taken down and other Avengers arrive at the scene, Cage calls Jessica Jones, while Daredevil explains that Luke has just quit the Avengers. Thor and the Secret Avengers try to capture the Phoenix in space but are defeated. Meanwhile, a group of Kree priests attempt to resurrect Captain Marvel using a shard of the M'Kraan Crystal , an act that draws the Phoenix away.

Marvel and Noh-Varr attack the other Secret Avengers, capturing part of the team. The Vision discovers that a signal is being transmitted that is controlling all the Kree people, including the three Kree-related heroes, as Krees related to Mar-Vell impersonate the Supreme Intelligence and declare to the Kree people that the Phoenix coming to Hala will bring evolution to the worthy. The remaining Secret Avengers try to free the Kree from the mind control, but are defeated by Captain Marvel.

After capturing them, Mar-Vell sees the Kree soldiers killing the people who were freed from mind control and tries to escape. Marvel and Noh-Varr from the mind control, and after the Krees posing as the Supreme Intelligence kill themselves, the Secret Avengers fight to take the Phoenix away from Hala. Mar-Vell eventually realizes that the Phoenix is after the fragment used to revive him, and after telling Ms.

Marvel that she is no longer under his shadow, he willingly allows it to remove the fragment, killing him in the process. Cyclops listens to Doctor Nemesis 's report that Hope's latest flare up of the Phoenix force would be noticed and prepares a contingency plan. Later during the fight between Colossus and Red Hulk, Colossus loses control of his Juggernaut powers and damages the pillar that holds up Utopia. Colossus then forfeits his Juggernaut powers, resulting in his defeat. After Colossus's defeat, Cyclops orders Kate Kildare, his public relations specialist, to send an email warning all humanity that they will pay for the Avengers actions.

Eventually, only Namor and the Thing are still standing, but their fight is interrupted by the Apex's Savage. UNIT explains to the kids that the Scarlet Witch's spell of "No more mutants" angered the Phoenix, and that in other planet he witnessed the Phoenix host needing its five acolytes to calm it and succeed in bringing evolution; however, he omitted such information from Hope because he wants to witness what would happen if the host doesn't have its acolytes to succeed in controlling the Phoenix.

Danger, controlled by UNIT, knocks the kids out and erases their memories about the conversation. As Magneto, Storm and Psylocke prepare to go to the Moon, Psylocke suffers a momentary psychic breakdown, at the same moment that the Phoenix bonds with the Extinction Team. While the Avengers and the X-Men fought each other, Mister Sinister has built his own city based on Victorian-era London in the Moloids' underground tunnels in Subterranea.

The city is inhabited solely by clones of himself. After disposing of a rebel clone, he explains to one of his other clones that he has foreseen that the Phoenix Force would come after Hope, that the Avengers would try to stop it and clash against the X-Men, resulting in the Phoenix Five. He also knows that the Phoenix Five will soon come after him and intends to take the Phoenix energy away from them by using a group of Madelyne Pryor clones.

The Phoenix Five leave their teammates behind and track Sinister to Anchorage, Alaska Cyclops's birthplace , finding out that he built his city underneath it. Sinister then orders his clones to enter into war against the Phoenix Five. He is eventually defeated by the Madelyne Pryor clones; shortly after, Magneto, Storm, Psylocke and Danger arrive at Mister Sinister's city and find out that their teammates were captured. While Storm and Magneto fight the clones, Psylocke and Danger enter the castle; although both are discovered; Emma uses the opportunity to convince the Phoenix to fight back against Sinister's domination.

The Phoenix Force eventually burns away the Madelyne clones and frees the Phoenix Five, who incinerate Mister Sinister and his whole city, declaring to their teammates that the world is safe Meanwhile, Colossus and Magik escape captivity; while Piotr expresses guilt over the things he did and things he wished he had done, Illyana tells her brother that she succeeded in corrupting his soul, so as to make Colossus feel the same way she did.

Kate Kildare thinks about how or if she should justify the Phoenix Five's actions. After Emma confesses having a psychic affair with Namor and inciting him to attack Wakanda, Cyclops proposes a toast in their minds; however, his body attacks Emma's, taking her share of the Phoenix and becoming the Dark Phoenix.

He lets go of the Phoenix as Hope and the Scarlet Witch attack him, and wakes up handcuffed. After Beast criticizes Cyclops's actions and tells him about the new mutants appearing on Earth, Cyclops states that he takes full responsibility for his actions and that he would do it all again if it was necessary. Beast and Wolverine are alerted to the coming of the Phoenix Force, just as Captain America arrives at the X-Mansion to inquire about it.

Beast volunteers to join Captain America's team of select Avengers to intercept the Phoenix in deep space. Wolverine warns the faculty of the crisis before joining the rest of the Avengers and heads off to Utopia to place Hope Summers the Phoenix's likely target in protective custody. Meanwhile, on the Shi'ar Throneworld of Chandilar, Gladiator prepares his ship to rescue his son Kid Gladiator a student at the X-Mansion after communications have failed and reluctantly ordering the Shi'ar Death Commandos to find and kill the Phoenix's host.

Both men discuss their stances regarding the Phoenix's incoming arrival and Wolverine refuses to join Scott's X-Men. However, some of his staff members and Angel decide to join Scott in the battle against the Avengers. Meanwhile, the Death Commandos arrive to Earth.

Hope is gutted by Flaw, but the Phoenix Force manifests within her and she incinerates the Death Commandos. Although Wolverine intends to stab her, he figures out that he is not capable of killing a child. In the X-Mansion, Gladiator arrives and demands his son. Rachel finds Hope, but during a psychic confrontation between them, she empathizes with Hope's determination to find the Phoenix and lets her go, later lying to Cyclops that she did not manage to find the mutant messiah. Before Cyclops can force Rachel to tell the truth, Gladiator arrives in Utopia with many Shi'ar soldiers and demands his son, Kid Gladiator.

Even though Gladiator is severely beaten by the Phoenix Five, she prevents Kid Gladiator from helping his father, as her orders are to keep the boy safe. After the battle is over, she takes an almost dead Gladiator to be treated at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. She accepts, but at the dinner she expresses her concerns about the Phoenix Five losing control and criticizes the way they have been arresting the Avengers. Furious, Colossus blames the school for changing her mind about him, attacking the staff and burning Kitty's arm before regretting his own actions and leaving.

Meanwhile, Iceman gets uncomfortable with the Phoenix Five's course of action against the Avengers, and returns to the school alongside Rachel and Angel after considering the Phoenix Five are no longer themselves. Brood helps Iron Man with the calculations for his mechanism to fight Cyclops and Emma Frost, while the Utopia teenagers adjust to the new school, Toad takes Husk on a date and Gladiator orders his son to return home with him, before telling Warbird that she will remain on Earth to find her true purpose in life.

Kitty declares Angel as the school's first graduate and invites him to be a graduate assistant there, before Wolverine takes him, Beast, Iceman, Rachel, Hope and Professor X to join the Avengers in battle against Cyclops. In prison, he incites a riot and calls a helicopter to rescue him and his friends. They then decide to move to Westchester. Broo visits the church where Oya goes, noticing changes in her personality, and finds out that the Hellfire Club kids are manipulating her mind and planning an attack against the school, aided by Glob Herman.

While the Stepford Cuckoos notice new lights emerging in Cerebra and celebrate the appearance of new mutants, Broo's light disappears, as he is shot in the head. The staff members at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning have a meeting, where Rachel Summers and Iceman reveal their plan to join Cyclops's X-Men in their battle against the Avengers; the other teachers opt to stay at the school to protect the students and prevent them from joining the battle. Tensions arise between both groups, and although both parties try to stop a battle between She-Hulk and Frenzy , some students try to attack She-Hulk.

She retaliates, severely injuring them inadvertently , causing Rogue and other staff members to join the battle, while Redwing calls Iron Man to Westchester. Meanwhile, Iron Man keeps defeating the staff members, but after Kitty Pryde phases through his armor, she finds out the armor is empty, thus allowing Rogue to attack with full strength, crushing the armor. After the unconscious Avengers are sent away from the school inside their jet, Rogue decides that she can't keep neutral in this fight, and asks Kitty to let Iceman know that she will be joining them in battle.

There, she saves a young girl forcibly married to a violent man which reminds her of her childhood, constantly beaten by an abusive father whom she accidentally killed one day while trying to defend herself. After Frenzy destroys the militia's weapons, the Stepford Cuckoos volunteer to remove all the bad memories from Narobia's citizens, but Frenzy asks them not to do it arguing that the painful memories will help them resist when another warlord tries to subjugate them.

Marvel invented such story to get close to her. Both women fight and discuss their points of view on the Phoenix Five; eventually, Rogue defeats and immobilizes Ms. Marvel, but she gets uncomfortable when Magik imprisons Ms. Marvel in a piece of Limbo brought to Earth. Marvel in her prison, thinking Illyana crossed the line, and returns to rescue the Avengers. However, Magik reveals that she let Rogue enter the prison as a test of her loyalty. As Rogue turned against her, Magik sends her to a different world. Seven days after Namor's attack, Wolverine and students from the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning fly to Wakanda to aid in the reconstruction efforts but are warned by Storm that they are not welcome and turn back after being fired upon.

Captain America convinces Wolverine to visit Cyclops, who is being held in a specialized private prison created for the reemerged mutant population, to learn where his Extinction Team might be hiding. Cyclops baits Wolverine into trying to kill him, but Wolverine lets up once he realizes that Cyclops wants to die and be made a martyr. Once returned to general population, Cyclops is joined by Jake, the only other mutant inmate in the prison.

The pair soon realize that all of the guards have left as three inmates approach them brandishing shivs. Iron Man offers to help rebuild the mystical city of K'un L'un but Lei Kung turns him down and suggests that Iron Man focus on coming to terms with his own internal struggle of science and mysticism. At the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, Magik informs Storm of Colossus's whereabouts, while Hope adjusts to life at a normal high school but still feels the need to search for Cable.

In prison, Cyclops easily defeats his three attackers, due to his martial arts training, and rejects an offer to break him out, choosing instead to remain a political prisoner and not becoming a common criminal. Storm locates Colossus in Siberia, but decides not to turn him in because of the guilt he is suffering. Magneto arrives shortly afterwards and informs Storm, that he also has decided to leave Colossus alone.

As he is leaving, Jake is murdered by other inmates, prompting Cyclops to take up the earlier offer to break him out of prison. Magneto, Magik and Danger break Cyclops out of prison but not before Cyclops has Magik send Jake's murderers to limbo and has Danger disfigure the warden's face. The Avengers arrive to find the prison abandoned except for the prison warden , who delivers a message from Cyclops to Wolverine, stating that he will support Wolverine's school and continue to fight for mutant rights. Meanwhile, Hope's search for Cable has gone futile but Cable appears to let Hope know that she need not continue to search for him and that he will be there for her when she needs him.

The stories are collected into the following volumes:. Comic Book Resources gave the first issue four out of five stars, issue 2 three and a half stars, issue 3 two and a half stars and issue 4 four stars. Overall stating that "This series may have had its detractors, but it delivers a complete story acting as a concise set-up for Avengers Vs.

X-Men and it has plenty of fun in the process. Sides aren't drawn here, but the causes worth fighting for are defined. Their interpretation of Cable's journey is complete and they had a blast bringing that tale to light, something that particularly shines through in this closing chapter".

Avengers vs. X-Men: It's Coming by Allan Heinberg

IGN gave issue 1 a 6. If it was teases and revelations for AvX , it offers a few morsels. But in the end, even a humble four issues seemed too long for the meager conflict. Trade-waiters may be better off skipping this book entirely and moving straight ahead to AvX 0 next week". Comic Book Resources gave issue 0 four and half stars out of five, stating that " It's tough not to judge zero issues, preludes and prologues as anything more than gimmicks.

Typically, they're used as a chance to give a story two "first" issues and are either completely disposable or deceptively essential but with "AvX" 0, Marvel has found the right middle ground", while giving credit to writers Brian Michael Bendis , Jason Aaron and artist Frank Cho. Jason Aaron and John Romita Jr. Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave issue 0 a 7. However, the issue comes up a bit lacking when it comes to ambition or a dramatic build-up to the main event". It doesn't emphasize Fraction's flair for the quirky and unusual Still, Fraction finds a stronger dramatic foothold in the story, and on the whole this issue manages to close out Act 1 in reasonably strong fashion".

Newsarama gave issue 0 a 9 out of 10 stating that it "does less to set up the impending crossover than to introduce the players involved, showcasing Scarlet Witch, whose return in the pages of Children's Crusade was touted as tying directly into the event, and Hope Summers, whose manifestation of the Phoenix Effect at the end of X-Sanction seems to be the ultimate precursor to what's coming". The art by John Romita Jr. The script by gang-of-5 co-writer Brian Bendis is perfectly professional.

But like many first issues in events of these kinds, issue 1 reads almost like a graphic rendering of all the interviews about the event so far — i.

Avengers vs. X-Men Vol 1 6

Whether it's the X-Men pulling a magic switcheroo to escape the Avengers or Captain America suddenly deciding he's going to punch Wolverine, it feels like Brubaker keeps putting the cart before the horse. These characters have to move from Point A to Point B, because there's an outline that has to be adhered to X-Men 4 is fun, thrilling, exciting, and most importantly never takes itself too seriously. Zawisza of CBR gave issue 6 four stars, writing " [Oliver] Coipel 's art, coupled with the script from Jonathan Hickman , refreshes this series".

Rather, it's the soundtrack to the latest surround sound, IMAX , mega action flick. If you know what it is going in, you'll find something to enjoy. If you're looking for a thoughtful insight into the differences between the two teams and their methods, though, that's for a different comic.

Everyone has a chance to take out some aggression and the end result is not pretty, even though Kubert makes it all look cool. Schedeen of IGN gave issue 6 an 8. But Coipel also nails the smaller character scenes and necessary facial work as well, leading to what is by far the most impressive and well-rounded issue of the series to date". X-Men 7 is guilty of glossing over certain vital parts of the story in its charge forward. Even so, the series remains in better shape than it was during Act 1".

It simply doesn't propel the conflict forward in the way a concluding chapter should". Newsarama handed issue 6 a 7 while stating, "Even though [the comic] is an enjoyable read, it suffers from feeling too much like a prologue. Yet, with so much on the page, what comes next promises to be huge. There is so much work done here setting up the next step that the story is certainly worth sticking with". Zawisza gave issue 9 four stars, praising Jason Aaron's grasp on Spider-Man's voice throughout the issue and stating that this issue was "the most enjoyable to date", also mentioning that "Where most event series begin to trend toward predictability in their later issues, this series continues to offer up surprises and twists on traditional or stereotypically predictable plots".

Where crossovers are concerned, that makes it something of a rarity. Issue 9 was the second issue of the event to receive an 8. This is one of those chapters that makes you wonder whether Avengers vs. X-Men really needed 12 issues to be told in the first place". X-Men delivers an epic but sometimes emotionally underwhelming finish". Pepose gave issue 9 a 9 writing that it "has what the previous eight issues have sorely been missing: Focusing primarily on Spider-Man as the last man standing against not one, but two Phoenix-corrupted X-Men, this comic puts a face on a large-scale conflict, suddenly giving this crossover some real tension and weight".

This book looks great, but 10 issues in, it would have been nice to be more than that". VS 1 is, in many ways, the comics equivalent of professional wrestling. There are big moments of drama. The occasional shot of dialogue that'll make you smile. But really, it's all about seeing who wins the fights, appreciating the techniques of the characters and creators and getting invested in the outcome even though it's of no material consequence.

VS [so far], this was the one I enjoyed the most, but it was not without flaws. This is a great superhero slugfest comic, but it's also easily forgettable and doesn't make a strong case for re-reading". VS 4 comes out a winner due to the sheer level of fun and wow factor on each page. There is no real story and both writers find a way to make this work to their advantage. The Daredevil versus Psylocke story might be a little thinner but the Thor versus Emma Frost fight more than makes up for it.

Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave issue 1 a 6. VS does exactly what it sets out to do. In some ways it's a more enjoyable read than AvX itself is so far. If meatier, more character-driven tales aren't in the cards with this book, then maybe what VS. David Pepose of Newsarama gave issue 1 a 9 out of 10 stating, "Unencumbered by exposition, plot movement or character development, AVX: VS is action-figure combat at its most indulgent.

And chances are, if you bought this book willingly, that's not a bad thing". VS 2 is, in certain ways, an anthology on steroids — even if these stories are largely self-contained and have little to no effect on the Marvel Universe as a whole, these match-ups are an entertaining platform for some of Marvel's best and brightest artists to jam together".

VS is still a win, albeit not the cleanest one". I almost can't recommend this issue enough". Consequences 1 four out of five stars, stating "With this strong first issue, [ AVX: Consequences ] feels like a project that's on track for a strong finish.

With a strong focus and momentum already moving forward, this feels in some ways to have the drive that the parent series could have benefited from, too". The first half feels mostly like bluster However, when Cyclops begins to make his case, both for accepting responsibility and his unwillingness to take it all back because the end result is just too important, the book begins to sing. And crucially, it's leaving characters in a more interesting place than where it found them, which means it's doing its job well". Consequences 1 a 7. Consequences proves that Kieron Gillen's post-event wrap-up is more than just filler".

Consequences narrows the focus and picks up dramatic steam". Consequences 3 loses a bit of its focus but remains a compelling read for X-Men fans". Consequences 4 is still an enjoyable read with some great visuals". Consequences delivers a memorable finish to Cyclops' struggle".
