Pulling out all the stops in anticipation of "Avengers vs. X-Men," Marvel Comics has revealed a seven page preview of "Avengers vs. X-Men" #1 by Brian Michael Bendis with art by John Romita Jr. The first seven pages of the publisher's crossover event, features a meeting between Captain America, Iron Man and the President detailing the dangers of a Phoenix force returned, teases Wolverine's choice between two teams and sets the stage for the conflict between Cyclops and Cap.
For all the hoariness of the heroes-vs.-heroes trope, the set-up of Marvel Comics' next big crossover event rotates around an interesting premise: The cosmic power known as the Phoenix Force is coming back to Earth, apparently targeting a young mutant girl called Hope. Once bonded with mutant telepath Jean Grey, the Phoenix Force has been wielded for both salvation and destruction.
As you'll see in the pages below, the Avengers want to shut down the Phoenix while the X-Men believe that it's the key to the continued existence of mutantkind. Since it's superhero comics, this difference of opinion won't be settled in a series of spirited debates. The plots practically begging for Netherrealm or Capcom to make a fighting game out of it. Avengers vs. X-Men #1comes out this April in comics shops and digital comics storefronts everywhere.
