The remaining 4 of the Phoenix 5 and Magneto are now wanted fugitives. I'm sure they'll cover that more in the AvX: Consequences book.

I love that they wanted a way to bring more mutants into the world but not like this. Over the last decade Cyclops became the strong leader of the mutant community and earned the respect of the likes of Magneto and Wolverine. All of a sudden Wolverine goes back to an unnatural hatred for Scott and Scott becomes the villain. Cap (and then Iron Man) set this whole thing into motion then they want to hold Scott and the X-Men responsible for what they did while POSSESSED by godlike cosmic power? Shouldn't they be charged and held in prison for their part in this since they were not in an altered state of mind? The real kicker is Scott was right and all this fighting wasn't even necessary apparently.

Also, how many times has Professor X died or disappeared? I don't feel it will stick and if it does they just got rid of him because he wasn't involved in the core titles anymore.

I think my rant comes off a lot more pissed off fanboyish than it really is but I just don't get these choices from a readership standpoint. Do they really think people want this or that new readers will have an easier time because of it?

Totally agree with all that is said above^. It's sad to see Prof X die again, but where are the other main players that Bendis left out? Cable and Legion for example. Hopefully the AVX consequences will clear things up. Although seeing the "wanted" images of the mutants doesn't it look like something out of Days of Future Past...so basically some of the X-Men are wanted criminals. Will be interesting to see how this goes.
