Daily Comic: Avengers vs. X-men Round #1

Been wanting to read this for awhile now and see what all the hype is about and it was worth the wait. For those of you wondering about the variant cover in the picture that was the Midtown comics variant so unless you live or visited NYC during June you probably haven't seen it but its a pretty cool variant. From page one i new I'd be enjoying this why you ask? Phoenix Force need i say more. OK so the phoenix force is back and I love me some Jean Grey but don't expect to see her in this arc. So story goes Hope Summers is the next host for the Phoenix Force make sense she looks like mini Jean and if you've followed hope in the past its all been leading up to this. The avengers get warned by Nova that the phoenix force is on its way to earth. Naturally the avengers plan to stop it so they need Hope right? Well that's where the conflict begins. Captain america asks nicely if they can take Hope into custody but Cyclops doesn't respond in a respectful manner, meaning he blasts him with his optic blast. Scott seems to now act much more like magneto of the past now that he feels the burden of the entire mutant race rest upon him which i really like. Anyway of course the Avengers assemble and thus begins the Avengers vs. X men free for all. So i want to harp on the art a bit was pretty disappointed in the art direction for this book a little to cheesy and childish for something as serious as Avengers vs X men, just would have like a more epic kind of art style maybe something similar to civil war. Overall a great read tho 9/10 and i expect every issue to get better and better and who doesn't want to see dream fights like Cap vs Cyclops (Magneto vs Thor hope that happens lol). If you haven't read this arc by now its a good time to start now that its complete you ll have no waiting read it straight through.
