    Kinda surprised

    This is it.The battle on the moon started betweem the Avengers and the X-Men.The fight shoule be epic and it should consider the faith of Hope Summers and it really did.And if you are here to finally see Hope as a host for the Phoenix Force,you are wrong.

    Last issue we saw that Wolverine betrayed Hope and reported to Captain America about her location and he gathered the Avengers and went to the moon but there were the X-Men and the Phoenix Force was right behind them waiting to take Hope as a host.And we all think that after 4 issues we are going to finally see more dialogue or even monologue by the X-Men but we still won't get that.After so much time at least we saw more appearances of X-Men but not chit-chat from them.The battle wasn't big and wasn't handled well but actually the story was finally thrilling and felt interesting to me.I was amazed when I saw that Matt Fraction is writing this issue and this was the issue I most enjoyed but it was actual development in the story.

    And still after 5 issues the X-Men look like losers that are just yelling 'NO!' and are trying to keep Hope away from Steve and Logan with no actual dialogue but at least this time it kinda worked and we had finally a little bit good story writing.

It's nice to see Marvel try to change the expectations up a little bit, with the Phoenix choosing a host (the costume change, I could have lived without lol.) It finally feels like the story is going somewhere, and certainly keeps the excitement up as we hit the end of this portion of AvX. With Wanda entering the fray in the n...

      I don't know what to make of this issue; even the few things it had in its favor somehow had a negative connotation to them. I am tired of Cyclops' extinction team, and now THEY are center of the story. John Romita really took the lazy route on this one. That splash of the Iron Man armor was terrible, and then those pages with nothing in them... do artists get paid by the page?Please check my mini-review here:http://bit.ly/KBWXcAComments and feedback are always welcome!...
