thats the point. i want to see them beat the hell out of each other.

also, i wonder if galactus would get involved. He could probably feed on the energy. Norrin Radd is still on Earth semi-permanently, so he could get the word out.

I'd like to see uncanny x-force gut every member of the secret avengers. And it'd be okay too because Marvel can always bring the same characters back to life 6 months later anyway

I know, right!? That drove me crazy as well. Gotta wait til the smoke clears on this event before seeing where the whole Adaptoid infiltration setup ends up going now.

As I said over in the 2005 Comic Boards, this could go several ways
1) Complete Reboot, Main Marvel (616) mix of Movie, Ultimates, Ultraverse and comics
2) All dead revived (Jean Grey, Gwen Stacy, Stature, Uncle Ben, Doc Ock), all de powered mutants restored
3) Cyclops killed

What does it do? I haven't.

The AR stands for augmented reality, you hold your smartphones camera up to the comic with a AR logo near the price tag and it shows you a digital comic type video on the cover of the comic

[Greenskar]

Pretty much what thesymbiote said. Think of it as DVD extras...but for comics. Its an interesting concept and I actually see it being used best with the AvX: VS tie in series. My expectation for VS is that, since this was supposedly going to be extended fights between characters that just were too much to be contained within the main story, that by scanning certain panels with an AR symbol we would be treated to some motion comic or animation style fight scenes for some cool effects.

If that doesnt happen...then the novelty has definitely worn off for me lol.

Whoa awesome will try it just cause I got a new smart phone.

If number one happens I would likely just stop reading. It would be a very dumb move. Sadly, I can see them killing off Cyclops.

Ditto I concur, they kind of killed of Cyclops back in the 90's when they Apocalypse was using his body as a host.

ok guys, its wednesday again and another three tie-ins' read.

New Avengers, Secret Avengers, and AvX#1.

AvX----Giant turd. amounts to no new plot. Written by seven year olds. Skipping the rest of this tie - in

New Avengers---great story. Its really going somewhere interesting.

Secret Avengers---A favorite character of mine comes back, although im pretty positive its not the same guy.

Im not sure if any xmen related stories came out this week.

Didn't AVX #1 come out 2 weeks ago?

[bmorr]

no that was avengers vs. xmen. AvX is a six story about guys solely beating the crap out of each other(iron man vs. magneto, cap vs. wolverine, namor vs. the thing). avengers vs xmen is where the real meat and potatoes of the event happens. HOPEFULLY.

Oh ok, so confusing:P Sheesh way to milk us Marvel. That's the one where they show panels of them fighting and that's it?

[bmorr]

marvel even said its basically worthless.

It's even more of a useless title

AvX: Vs #1 (which will total 6 issues)

Not to be confused with

AvX (main story) # 1-12

And it was tolerable for me. The fight with Iron Man and Magneto was all sorts of wtf. Iron man channeled the magnetic force of the Planet Jupiter and Magneto channeled the magnetic force of other planets...I got lost with that one. Also how did Tony change his armor to carbon fiber if the metal is housed in his bones these days? At least Namor and Thing was just basic physical blows.


New Avengers was awesome for me because the Iron Fist mythology just got richer. Looks like Iron Fist may jump ship from Avengers to helping the X-men but only because it will somehow protect Kun Lun is my guess.

Who was the red haired girl in Kun Lun one hundred years ago is what i want to know? Hope in time travel mode again?

Marvel never said it was worthless, lol. They did say go to the main story if you want one because this is all fighting. The book is basically just continuing the fights that are introduced in the main story but didn't want to extend the main issue with just the fights. So they created this tie in for those fans interested in just seeing how these fights play out. I think its cool they created this option but the title seems silly. It actually reminds me of Capcoms first Marvel Superheroes fighting game lol.

Whoa didn't know the main story is 12 issues, so basically it's going to last a year? Unless it comes out in bi-weekly mode...

Cool I'll probably pick it up than. Been trading back other comics that I didn't think are worthy to keep.

[Greenskar]

AvX 1-12 ships biweekly.

[bmorr]

heres the source of what i was saying. Its a cash grab tie-in. but it reiterates what green skar was saying. "Marvel have promoted Versus as having no plot, simply expanding battles from the original series."

Avengers Vs X-Men – From Ruby Quartz To Ruby Ridge | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

[Greenskar]

Which would translate as worthless to those expecting an actual progressive story line...or any story at all. But I only review it for what it is and what it was always claimed to be. Pure brawling with match ups between characters that fans have debated about for yrs. In that regard I though it was ok.

Certainly not $3.99 ok though. And with that I would have to agree with bmorr that this should be skipped in hopes that marvel just integrates it all into hardcover when this whole event is collected.
