Avengers Versus X-Men

It has been hard to follow all the giant supercrossovers of the recent years, especially when the Heroic Age was supposed to do away with that. Skrull Invasion wasn't very good, Siege was okay, Fear Itself average. The only event I truly enjoyed in the last couple of years was the Civil War, and although I don't feel AvX reaches THAT level of emotional pull, let alone the moral greyness of Civil War, which made it so interesting (here it's pretty clear most of the time that the X-men are the bad guys, even though they could have been portrayed MUCH more ambiguously), it's still a VERY enjoyable and epic story.The art is great especially in the second half when Coipel takes over (Romita is not bad at all, just not very progressive) and except for only a couple deaf spots, the story is consistent and entertaining, with a handful of very heroic scenes and ideas.A small criticism regarding the portrayal of X-men: the reason it's so obvious that they're supposed to be the antagonists is largely due to the fact that they get almost zero "screen time" compared to the Avengers; in Civil War, both sides got a very similar portion of the story, here, the X-men basically appear only when being talked about or confronted by the Avengers.Nevertheless, I was still surprisingly pleased with this book and found myself often smiling from enjoyment.

Really enjoyed this book. It started out a bit slow, and I was worried about all the different characters getting enough time and chance to contribute. I had a couple of issues with the art work, mailing around Hope, just her age, in some issues, she looked in her late teens, and in other her early to preteen. However all this could be put aside for me as my favorite characters, had their moments to shine, and there were parts of the book were exceptionally good and others a bit slow, but all in all and great epic story worthy of these two teams facing off against each other."No more mutants"With these 3 words The Scarlet Witch changed the Marvel universe and decimated the Mutant population, placing them on the endangered species list and leaving the remaining mutant leaders clutching at "Hope". now when you play with cosmic powers, the "BIG Birds" will notice. I like the ambiguity in the comics, as in I could see both points of view before choosing a side. Families, friends, teams, and even the world will be torn apart. Also when ultimate power does come could ultimate corruption be far behind? The only issue that did bother me in this comic series it every character seemed to heal from issue to issue at Wolverine's rate. This is a couple of bit deaths (well as long as the character really stays dead) in the series.Great themes of corruption, redemption, destiny and faith all rolled into one. The TPB contains issues 0 - 12 of the mini series. Show the A4 format of the regular cover at the beginning of every issue as well as thumbnails of the different covers. All in an epic series worthy of a face off between these 2 teams.

I have always liked superhero's; throughout my childhood. Earlier this year I started collecting comic books. I already have a number of comics now (over 7). This time when I bought a comic, I was looking for a comic that would; last a long time. And that, would also have loads of different characters. Avengers versus X-Men; doesn't disappoint. This book has loads of characters, in-fact all the main marvel characters. There is a quality storyline, this book is action packed, full of twists and turns; and most importantly, a very good book. This book has over 300 pages, 372 in-fact. This book didn't ever get boring. I just kept wanting to read more, the story progressed, even though there was loads to read. Occasionally, you may find some comic books that last a long time, slightly repetitive or boring; this comic certainly was not. There are loads of great fights, loads of content and over 300 pages; as previously mentioned. To any comic book fan, I suggest buying this. It is a brilliant comic book, I would give it a 9 out of 10.

I've been a bit bored more recently of some of marvel's 'events'. it seemed like a huge money making thing. House of M worked, Civil War worked, and so since then we've been bombarded by this enormous cross-over events that require you to go mad buying all the issues from everywhere to follow. This time I didn't bother and so when I saw the ads for AVX in the comics I collect (i get the uk reprints so they're a bit behind) and i've just read this instead. money-wise it's great and it's nice to have the whole story in one place. the story is good, and the art is great too.

A fantastic graphic novel. The story is engaging, the artwork is beautiful and for the size of the book, exceptional value for money.

I don't read comic books since they were always too expensive and I already had enough hobbies. But collections of comic books such as the avengers versus x-men are brilliant to read since they are rather long so you feel you are getting your moneys worth to begin with. I have a few of these collections and AvX is my favourite, the story is brilliant, the action and humour are all well placed. The only downside is that often context is left outside of the book so requires some prior knowledge to get the most out of this book.

I was not expecting that Avengers Versus X-Men would be so good.I tought that it was only fighting with no story but if you know the story about the phoenix (from x-men) it's a fantastic book.This comic book is good because all the caracters from x-men and the avengers are in this story.As a reader maybe you will face of some new characters but its fine bacause facing new stuff is really good.I hope this review is helpfulThanks.
