...the hell?!?

They also made Thor the Phoinex five's whipping boy- he should have been able to gate those bozos to another dimension at least for a while.

PLus, they obviously put the Avengers at a huge disadvantage by limiting their membership- Moondragon has been called "even more powerful than I am" by professor X and if theAvengers had brought her in...forgetaboutit!
Or Sersi! Sersi would have turned the X-Men into the ungrateful little piglets they are!

So far the best matchups have been Iron Man/Emma frost and Iron Man/Magneto, Cap busting Gambit's nose and Colussus/Red Hulk fighting underwater- those were very well written.
The scene where the Black Panther tells storm their marriage is over after she had sided with the X-Men and Wakanda was destroyed by Namor was SO nicely handled- heartbreaking in how Storm saw just how badly she had fucked up and how out of control the Phoinex Five were.

Still, if Seige and Fear Itself are indicators, AvX will ebd with...a whimper. they already have the lameass follow up miniseries in Previews, just like they made The Fearless, which not only sucked donkeys, it resolved NOTHING.
Expect simmular disapointment and anticlimax from this schlock series- hell X-astonishing X-Men, New mutants, Spider Man, Iron Man, Thor, Red Hulk and Secret Avengers are already ignoring the whole thing...thankfully.

I thought its had some really good action.. its not something that takes a lot of thought to read..you have to ignore a lot of things that dont make sense (like XYZ character being in ABC location when he was in LMNOP location in another book, or the P5 having the power to end the Avengers with just a thought) but overall it has entertained me.

I am enjoying it because it reminds me of civil war. If you loved it or hated it I am really getting the CW vibe and to me, that is good. The fact though that from what I have read so far, the writers are making the X-Men look like a bunch of chumps. It really pisses me off it doesn't even seem close.

Iron Man ALWAYS has a plan, ALWAYS. Last time I checked he wasn't the god damn Batman! Like come on, Thing beating Namor, under water at that? GET THE FUCK OUT. Sure it was only round one, but seriously. It's Namor, he SORT of held his own against the Sentry here...THE SENTRY! I miss the Sentry, he needs to come back :P.

Hopefully X-Men get some major victories happening here...
