The fiery conclusion of Act One brought to you by Matt Fraction and John Romita Jr!
Clashing on a lunar battlefield, the tide of the conflict will be turned…
The Phoenix takes its host! All hope is lost?!
The Good
Ending- For the first time since Avengers vs X-men #1 I’m awake and excited after what amounts to filler from issue 2-4. The Phoenix is here the Avengers show their Aces and Hope the “would be” mutant messiah is….not the avatar of the Phoenix? Talk about an elaborate mind f***!
Instead the Phoenix chooses Cyclops, Emma Frost, Namor, Colossus and Magik as its hosts? Behold the Phoenix 5!
Art- John Romita Jr. is a great artist and this issue sparkles
AVX-I loved the tension in this issue everything was leading up to this moment, the fights and the brief exchanges were also far more meaningful and that ending…..woooh!
The Bad
Art- If you don’t like Romita Jr.’s art this issue won’t change your mind.
The Ugly
Honestly the shocker of an ending really just enhanced the entire series 4/5 for a satisfying reveal NO ONE SAW COMING!
