After all the build up from Messiah complex through 2nd coming and all the hinting towards a connection between hope and the Phoenix its not like we didn't see this coming. It's been 5 yrs since the last Phoenix story and that entity has been a major part of X-Men lore since its inception to the books. I have no problem with bringing the Phoenix force back as long as its not Jean. So now its Hope. Ok. I almost wonder if the Phoenix chooses a different host since Hope is not a telepath and instead hope becomes the next Iron fist or something related to it with the Dragon chi to battle the Phoenix as its anti-thesis or something, which I would love to see.

Anyway, since I've been following from the Morrison run til now, pretty regularly, I'm looking forward to getting some resolution to the Hope/Phoenix build up. So far, the event, when counting its tie-in's, isn't the disaster that fear itself was. Although, there is still plenty of issues left to contradict that statement.

As for the X-Men imprisoning the Avengers...Its about time they got the upper hand at some point. The Avengers have been kicking their ass so far for the most part. I'm just curious to see what triggered the shift in power. Maybe Cyclops became the host of the Phoenix force and Marvel just blind sided everyone O_O
