Avengers Vs X-Men #7

Horrible story telling and Event progression. Sorry, felt all flash and no substance. Warning: offhand character comments reflect this....

Cap - too much on his plate makes for too many bad calls.
Stark - is a pathetically, ignobly genius. He gives a cringeworthy showing of himself.
Thor - impotent window dressing.
Hawkeye - likes being struck down on same day Vizh falls. (Don't worry about him 'dying' though the PF can't cure cancer but they'll fix him up fine for his new series.)
Spidey - meh.
Widow - meh.
Vizh - NOOO101! (See what he did there with the clever binary 'death'? Hope so 'cuz he had nothing else to show beside a burn on Wanda.)
Valkyris - FEARLESS! Seriously. But only because she was devoid of ALL characterization.
Dr.Strange - Charlatan Supreme. (That's all he's got?)
Spider-woman = was she even there (not even to shed a tear over her boyfriend)?
Rulk - too good to show up for the pep talk.
Cage -meh.
Mock - was she there?
DD - The man without purpose.
Thing - well, at least he hones his swimming skill.
Pym - meh.
Iron Fist - Those who can do. Those who can't teach. To his credit he ain't jealous of Hope for stealing his Thunderer. Kung Fu is sooo useful when a threat is too big for one hero... thank goodness Shang Chi will double the Avengers power there.
T'Challa - B*tch slappin', magic pimpin', second fiddle. (Hated how he handled himself too.)
Wolverine - The best there is at standing akimbo for one panel.
Beast - meh. (The Twisted Visions Lake Guardian had a better hair day!)
Pietro - meh.
Wanda - Think of the possibilities. Imagine the probabilities. 'Cuz you'll have to with no character advancement or exposition worth noting.
Sam - meh.
Jen - meh.
Sharon - 'Cuz that's who you want in your roll call for End of Days. (Since Silver Sable probably called in 'dead'.)
Hope - Oooh, you "flinched", well don't worry about it. Unfootnoted appearance right before NA27 http://www.comicboards.com/php/show.php?rpy=avengers-2012062119514139 where the Messiah find continues to fail the MU.
Lei Kung - Master of Babbling Mystic Jargon.
Shuri - Good for her getting chronological credit... uhh... was she there?

X-men - artist's favorites get facetime.

Phoenix Five - their true colors start to shine thru and it's not a pretty sight. You can blame the dominating PF influence if you want to. Or poor you can blame a horrible planning and execution (both fact and fiction). Only a couple drawn issue images and Cyke reveals worked okay.

I actually highly enjoyed it.

I agree with you. I read some where that Bendis is going to take over the Xmen now and they got the Relaunch with that awful sounding and looking Marvel Now!I guess it is now par for the course that Bendis comes in (for lack of a better word) destroys the status quo only to set up his story arcs. Mind you though this may be good for the Xmen. I am mad that the issue didn't resolve any thing as much as I wanted.

Wanda Rules!!!

....limited interaction between Wanda and The Vision is better than none at all. It's apparent that they still care for each other. Vision is justifiably still bitter over her causing his "death". Hopefully things can somehow be resolved to a degree by series end. I'd like to see both reconnect with their sons

I didn't find him at all ignoble.



As it should be. We're dealing with the Phoenix, after all.



Poor Clint.



Well, he hasn't been supreme for a while. And we're talking about the Phoenix, after all.

Phoenix >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sorcerer Supreme

Overall, somewhat enjoyable. Some confusion, as I'm not sure of the reading order. But nothing major.

> Vizh - NOOO101! (See what he did there with the clever binary 'death'? Hope so 'cuz he had nothing else to show beside a burn on Wanda.)

What's happened to Vision? He's not dead again already, is he? There's been no sign or mention of him for any of the post-AvX books yet.

Just hoping they don't put him back in storage somewhere....long time reader here just looking for a reunion with Wanda

Yeah, same here. It's long overdue, and this thing of him hating her needs to be just a short-term phase he has to get over. But her being on Uncanny Avengers without him could doom it to being "This is how things are now" with both characters being "property of different writers".

That's assuming he even survives AvX. What actually happened to him, and how bad is it?
