If you’ve been paying attention to the previews and the solicits, you know how the battle between the X-Men/ Avengers and Cyclops/ Phoenix is going to turn out. The entirety of the Marvel NOW relaunch depends on one specific outcome, so it’s not a spoiler to say that Cyclops is going to lose.

An important side discussion, something overlooked throughout the entire series, may finally be addressed. How does Hope Summers feel about Wanda Maximoff? To Hope, Wanda is the cause of her problems. How does Wanda react to this? So far, Wanda manages to avoid the discussion, but she can’t run from it forever. She needs some accountability for her actions.

How the conversation will turn out, as well as the final outcome of the Avengers vs X-Men storyline, will be in stores on October 3rd, 2012.

About Joseph Furguson

This child of the 80s does not look upon it as some gold age where everything is better. He is well aware that the filter of time causes the best stuff to rise to the top. Every era has terrible and awesome things, but most are downright mediocre. He loves to highlight the forgotten good and the deserving bad items of all generations.
