Marvel Declares "No More Avengers" With "AvX" Act Two Teaser

[wc662]

Marvel did it for the lulz

N E E D s O L I V E R C O I P E L N O W

yeah really. especially with what they are charging.

[Monty_Cristo]

How many times does Marvel have to say it?

There won't be a reboot.

it would help if they would stop winking when they say it.

[stillanerd]

The problem with this is that it basically destroys Marvel's primary calling card: it's a shared universe. Additionally, as you noted, they've tried it before and it didn't really amount to much.

Agreed. But I think it's very apparent that Marvel wants to have some kind of synergy between the comics and Marvel Studios, especially given how successful the Avengers have been at the box office and plans for the upcoming sequel and new movies. Considering how this event involves TWO reality-warping characters, it certainly looks like the perfect opportunity to do something like this.

My guess for major shakeups is that the X-Men manage to kick start the mutant gene, but the event will also resolve itself with the government adopting a legit DoFP style Sentinel program.

Sort of like what's been going on over in Ultimate Comics X-Men.

Marvel already had a new 52, it was called Heroes Reborn.

THey are already beating DC in sales once again, they are not going to reboot their universe just so they can have 6 months of 'okay' sales. Can we move past the reboot thing.

Besides if it was a reboot why would it be in Act 2 and not act 3?

Do you think Act 3 is just "Every stands around and gets new #1s"?

If a reboot or a "rebirth" were to happen, it would be at the climax of Act 3, of course.

EDIT: Besides, I'm thinking Act 2, as I speculated earlier, is that Cyclops, with the help of the Phoenix-possessed Emma Frost, essentially takes over the Earth and the Avengers become outlaws.

Then it's too bad that those threats are far out of their league then.
I hope this is just a misleading teaser.

Ya because Captain America, Hawkeye and Blackwidow can handle those threats. *sarcasm ends*
X-men always win.

[Monty_Cristo]

as long as there will still be a Defenders, i don't really give a ****.

[mikekerrIII]

Well good bye Marvel Universe, and this time you can pin the blame on Cyclops for this.

Because without the Avengers who will stop the threats of Kang and Ultron or even the Masters of evil ?

The X-men who routinely hand threats of that level.

[One More Day]

The X-men who routinely hand threats of that level.

Mutie freaks

[mikekerrIII]

I'm going to play a game is called how would the x-men (cyclop's at any rate) have dealt with F.I.? you have to answer as fast as you can, ready? go!

The same way the Avengers did. Or put Legion back in the book and give him a single panel to do it in

Considering how this event involves TWO reality-warping characters, it certainly looks like the perfect opportunity to do something like this.

I just don't see it considering there really hasn't been much overlap with the franchises to begin with over the last maybe half decade (Outside of that spat with Norman Osborn, the X-Men have mostly kept to themselves since the Decimation). In fact, Marvel's been making an obvious concentrated effort lately to re-integrate the X-Line into the Marvel Universe proper. I don't imagine they're going to suddenly about face on that when they could've just left well enough alone and not bothered bringing the X-Men back in.

I can absolutely imagine a more stark, antagonistic relationship between the two teams, but I don't see an outright separation being very likely.

Sort of like what's been going on over in Ultimate Comics X-Men.

In a sense, but to a less extreme degree. Heck, maybe Cap'll be so booty hurt that he'll get on board with it.

[0bsessions]

The same way the Avengers did.

Throw Storm at the problem while Madison Jeffries gets drunk to prove a point to some fake gods?

[godzilla2099]

This shouldn't be hard to figure out:

- Issues 5-7. Cyclops: "No More Avengers
- Issue 8. X-Men realize Cyclops went to far. Bring the Avengers Back
- The rest: Avengers win. Yay </sarcasm>

I'm REALLY hoping I'm wrong but with this new movie and most of the writers being Avengers Writers I can't see much other conclusions than this

[mikekerrIII]

Well now we know who the bad guys are going to be.

Yes, the Avengers

How many times does Marvel have to say it?

There won't be a reboot.

That requires that a statement from Marvel editorial being given any credibility about things like that at all. Why would anyone still do that

Then it's too bad that those threats are far out of their league then.
I hope this is just a misleading teaser.

Yoeobvoously don't read X-boks

Throw Storm at the problem while Madison Jeffries gets drunk to prove a point to some fake gods?

More like Legion but that is basically it.

[Brandon McKinnis]

The X-men who routinely hand threats of that level a membership card.

Fixed it for you.

[Moriarty]

Starting to think my theory of the reboot/merge with the Ultimate Universe might have some merit....

good god, i hope not.
