    Didn't we just see Clint making out with Spider Aerobics Woman?

    Yeah, but that was in actual canon as opposed to whatever the hell Assemble is.

    Basically, it won't count like the silly Cyke-Storm kiss in Astonishing just after Regenesis.

    Oh shit the wordless preview for New Avengers 26:
    Iron Fist is talking with Da Vinci. Fuck yes they are bringing Hickman's plot elements into the story. Although Bendis handling Leonardo's dialogue has me somewhat wary.

    For some reason I immediately thought you said Luke Cage was talking with Da Vinci. And then I really wanted to see that.

    I just want a scene with...
    Da Vinci looking at the Phoenix Force in space and saying "This is NOT how the world ends.

    so is anyone actually cheering for the X-Men?


    I mean, with the Avengers movie coming out soon I expect it's going to be have a slight pro-Avengers edge anyways.

    Pretty sure it is in continuity, especially since it is most likely going to launch a Guardians of The Galaxy series out of it (and start up the marvel cosmic scene again)

    I just want them to finally make Cyclops a villain. I think that would be a really good long game for them. He already gives off a great Magneto vibe.

    I'm not thinking full on "kill all humans" but more "if it's between saving a human and a mutant, I'm going mutant every time". That's just enough of a grey area to push Scott into understandable bad guy territory.

    I'm seeing Cyclops' team as the losing team in this battle. I'm not a big fan of the X-Men in general, but he's always been a jerk, I wouldn't mind seeing him go out.

    Cyclops could make a pretty great villain. Optic blast and all that would make him pretty compelling and frightening pretty quick. When you can just stare at the guy next to you and reduce him, screaming, to burning ash with your disapproving gaze, well...

    Not sure how it'd feel in the longterm, though. Being Xavier's greatest student and all. Plus, turning Emma Frost only to turn bad himself.

    Wolverine needs to do a better job at teaching his children.

    Cyclops and Magneto as a villain duo would be great, though

    Maybe a road trip arc

    two hilarious endings to AvX I would love:

    Hope gets the Phoenix Force but tells Scott to suck it, and revives all the dead Avengers

    or

    Magneto turns on Scott for going too far

    Only one of these is plausible

    Magneto turns on Cyclops for being too mean and makes him step down from command of the X-Men. Then he takes control and makes them into his human-slaying murder squad.

    I'm with the X-Men. Everyone hates Cyclops, but outside of his crazy in AvX #1, he hasn't done anything wrong.

    I'd hit Cap too if he came to my house and demanded I do it his way after I relented on the Scarlet Witch only a week or so earlier.

    WaX is far more fun than Uncanny, but judging the characters on their actions? Cyclops is far more right than Wolverine was. The kids have been attacked in WaX... oh.... every issue.

    Not much better! They were only in that because Wolverine went to the casino in the first place, with Quentin (student!) as his secret weapon.

    Me and Automaticzen are bros in this. And my LCS sided with the Avengers, going by the stuff they put up this week, the Tokyo Roses. And not only were Logan's Runts kicking butt in WatXM without permission, Scott's Tots came and bailed out Wolverine's team in a fight against Exodus in Legacy. The only reason Cyclops looks bad now is because he was deliberately written that way in AvX #1 to be the bad guy. They even have him on the banner ads Marvel's running on the comic sites beating up Hope, and I'm all wut?

    I do wonder when Children's Crusade occurred during all this, because New Avengers #24 mentioned Spider Island just happening, which was mentioned in CC too. Has it been months? Weeks? did that Avengers teammup in Uncanny happen the day before AvX?

    Remender said that he was very excited to write the original Captain Marvel Vs. Thor in his "Secret Avengers" tie-in issues, nothing that Mar-Vell will be back from the dead for this story due to the impact of the Phoenix Force. He teased that Marvel has some plans overall for Marvel Boy as well, and Brian Michael Bendis would be working with that character's long term fate.

    Protector has been going to die ever since everyone realized Protector was superfluous to anything Protector was actually supposed to do on the Avengers.

    Really they just need Kid Gladiator on the Avengers after AvX.

    It's not Wolverine's fault Kid Gladiator is a loose cannon!

    Trying to make sense of Children's Crusade will only lead to pain, confusion and misery heh.

    Indeed. I don't necessarily have a problem with this idea, but the writers haven't done the work to get to the "Cyclops is evil" point. People seem to confuse "repressed boring douche" with "super villain". Cyclops hasn't really been wrong in his actions. They're not the best actions, but they have all been for the survival of his people, and they've been mostly borne out as correct.

    But AvX is definitely setting up for him to take the fall, but I think that they'll be following it up with whatever Cable was talking about at the end of X-Sanction #4.

    The writers haven't paid their dues for the story they seemingly want to tell.

    Indeed. I'm mainly hoping that Scarlet Witch will be a big part of the end of AvX.

    I don't know about that - I think you can make a pretty strong case for Scott being in a downward spiral to the darkside since his possession by Apocalypse and Jean's last death.
