Superotherside, I wonder, lemme take a stab at it. Avengers and X-Men end in a draw and come together to stop the Phoenix?

It would be lame to end in a lame ass tie, but if it doesn't that mean the Avengers win, what with a movie and all, and the X-Men being with fox. Why Emma Frost hasn't shut down all the avengers minds' right away I don't know. I know some of them have mental defenses, but Emma Frost is up there. She built a lot of the defenses in alot of the X-Men.

Only Act One? It seems like I've been reading about this event for a long time. Whatever happened to One-Shot large volume graphic novels?

And Colossus owned Red Hulk. Red Hulk only got a victory because Peter stopped fighting and told Rulk to knock him out. Lame. God Forbid a Hulk loses during Marvel Movie Pandemonium...

I'd like to see Round II happen where collateral damage isn't an issue.

While i don't really like the series (don't really dislike it either) i love the concept. I wish Marvel got the rights to do an xmen film cuz then you could get x-men. A registration story withe SHIELD sending the Avengers to round up the mutants (AvX) and then in the avengers after it Maria Hill pushes for registration of all heroes and boom civil war (another story i didn't care for but would love to see how the concept plays out)

avengers vs x-men is alot better if you read all the crossovers as well.

the new avengers(iron fist & his connection to the phoenix force)

uncanny x-men(colossus vs rulk)

x-men legacy(rogue vs she-hulk)
