It's the question that every comic book fan has wondered: who would win in a battle between Marvel Comics mega-teams The X-Men and The Avengers? Soon we will know, when the 12-issue event Avengers Vs. X-Men hits stores starting April 2012. The talent on this series is a who's who of the best of Marvel's writers and artists: Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, Jonathan Hickman, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, John Romita Jr., Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert.
The event will ship twice monthly and here's the official synopsis from Marvel.com:
"The Avengers and X-Men have learned that the all-powerful embodiment of both death and rebirth known as the Phoenix Force is on a crash course for Earth…and it needs a new host to unleash its immeasurable power. But what is the shocking decision tied to the Phoenix’s return that will pit the Avengers against the X-Men? And when good friends become bitter enemies, what does this mean for the future of the Marvel Universe?"
Those who wish to learn more about this groundbreaking (literally) event should tune in to the Avengers Vs. X-Men Live Kickoff beginning at 3:00pm ET, Wednesday, December 7, on Marvel.com and http://new.livestream.com/marveluniverse.
