Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. -- Psalm 69:6 |

AvX #2 of 6
Marvel Comics
Gillen, Larroca, Charalampidis, McNiven, Dell & Hollowell
The fights in this issue take place while the fourth issue of the main series occurs. I found the two fights to be vastly different. One was a good fight, but with a rushed ending and the other fight seemed to completely end in a draw without ever really getting started. This issue isn't that bad but it isn't that great. There are a couple of editorial moves in here that don't make any sense with how this mini-series is presented. This issue should be 100% fun but it falls short of that.

Avengers Vs X-Men #4 of 12
Marvel Comics
Hickman, Romita, Hanna & Martin
This issue is a complete misdirection in the series and the story shift is a most welcome one. The Avengers continue to look for Hope as they are met with more X-Men to fight. However, both sides have aces they have yet to play and Hope proves to be more resourceful then it seemed in previous issues. The art is good and the story moves quickly, but still this is just above average as the story continues to feel light in story and, amazingly, light in action. It doesn't seem like the series can decide what it wants to be as it seems like the direction continues to try to cater to every single reader rather than just telling the best possible story.

Avengers Vs X-Men #3
Marvel Comics
Brubaker, Romita, Hanna & Martin
We reach the quarter post in the big Marvel event and I find this story to border on satire more than genuine drama. It's not to say this event is hopeless (no pun intended) or that the event isn't entertaining. However, this event doesn't seem to produce organic drama or even present a logical story in terms of the most basic of characterizations of the major cast. This review is going to contain a spoiler so all you need to know is that I found this issue to be a misstep that leaves a gap in between this issue and the last one and it throws in a fight that really has no reason to exist. This event needs to produce more than odd fighting matchups and it hasn't yet.
Media Release -- The war is here! Today in Avengers VS. X-Men #3, by the blockbuster creative team of Ed Brubaker and John Romita Jr., Captain America splits the Avengers up all across the Marvel Universe to find Hope before the X-Men do! But Cyclops and his team are hot on the mutant messiah's trail and are not letting Earth's Mightiest get in their way. With Wolverine's loyalty still in question – Captain America must make a harrowing decision and the result will have everyone talking!

A vs X #1 of 6
Marvel Comics
Aaron, Kubert, Immonen & Immonen
The mini-series within the mini-series is a series that focusing entirely on fighting Ignore the fact that it has a confusing cover where the logo appears to be identical to the main mini-series, which creates a hesitation because of the numbering though. You know coming into the book that there is no plot development and no real “story”. These books are meant to be pure action. In that regard, this book delivers, but is it worth it? For me, this book needed to be “different” from the countless other times heroes have squared off against one another whether it be World War Hulk, Civil War or Red Hulk’s introduction to the Marvel Universe. I’m not sure I found much in the way or memorable here, but I was entertained.
