AvX: Consequences #1 I decided to combine both Uncanny Avengers #1 and AvX: Consequences #1 because they both are dealing with the aftermath of Avengers vs X-Men. These aftermath type books aren’t anything new for Marvel. At the very least they did the same thing with Fear Itself. After the main book they had Fear Itself:Consequences or some similar mini-series where they dealt with the aftermath. And Uncanny Avengers, itself, kinda swings directly out of the events of Avengers vs X-Men. It has a team of Avengers teaming up with a team of X-Men in order to show the world that they can all work together. ...
Avengers vs X-Men - Cover Man, Avengers vs X-Men was quite a doozy, eh? I wanted to hate it. First of all, Marvel is getting way too ridiculous with the events. If nothing else, when events drags all these books into them, they have to spend time dealing with the events rather than allowing the characters to exist and grow in the way the book would prefer. For example, when Wolverine and the X-Men spun out of Schism and Regenesis we finally had a neat little slice of life book with some new, young X-Men. We also got to see some old, young X-Men and the evolution of some characters like Kitty Pryde. Ever since AvX we have barely seen the kids. There hasn’t been any more of the fun school stuff. In fact, my favorite X-Men books of late have been Uncanny X-Force and X-Factor which were allowed to continue the stories they started a few years ago. So they’ve had some pretty amazing character growth moments and some incredible drama. But, AvX was a thing so how was it? ...
