The issue was just one big excuse to have two of Marvel's premiere teams duke it out, and a weak one at that. There were several dozen other ways this could've played out. Wolverine's current turbulent relationship with Cyclops could've sparked an argument between the two and had that devolve into Cyclops purposely attacking Cap or another Avenger to set things off.
The world/universe at stake with two opposing views is a far better reason than Wolverine and Cyclops' feud causing Cyke inexplicably to attack Cap. That would be nonsensical and a huge waste of an excuse to cause a war over.
Alright, so the popular notion is to choose a side, but even though I'm leaning over to the X front, I'm still a huge Hulk, Cap and Thor fan, so it's sort of difficult to choose. I'm rather more interested in the individual fights, also as to what the Phoenix's intentions are for returning and how this will play out with Hope.
I'm going to have to side with Cyclops on who started it though. Firstly, Cap went to Wolverine for advice, it may seem a legitimate choice, but right now he's still liking his wounds after the Schism fallout. Was it really smart to ask for his advice? Secondly, yes Cap wanted to talk, but he made demands. "We (obviously the Avengers)need to take Hope into custody", were his first words and later he said he wasn't asking, he's making demands. Then he accused Cyke of being too close to the issue, and then he admittedly stated he sided with Wolverine on this (like I said, Schism wounds are still fresh). He didn't even suggest taking Cyke into consideration here. In Cyke's mind he is single-handedly charged with the responsibility to lead mutantkind from the brink of annihilation, he's a desperate man. Cap approached this like he would any problem at hand, like a stubborn soldier, and it was insensitive if you take what's happening with mutants at present. He brought the Helicarrier and the Avengers along not as a precaution, but as a means to retrieve Hope anyway he saw fit.
Personally, I'm hooked. AvX is handled very well, and I don't get why the naysayers are neighing. Then again, people have been moaning about anything and everything that's been going on lately in comics, which just sadness me. It's a good time to be a comic book reader; DCnU, Uncanny X-Force, Venom, Secret Avengers, and I'll always love Marvel events (a big target for most). And that makes me sad, because most people rather remain nostalgic than admit what's good and still they choose to stick around and remain vocal to let everyone know just how unsatisfied they are.
