REVIEW: Avengers Vs. X-Men, #11

**CBR News** · 09-12-2012, 10:48 AM

Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel wind down "Avengers vs. X-Men" with a character death that readers have predicted for months, and a closing moment that is also a wee bit predictable and overdue.

Full review here.

Good review. Although 2 stars sounds about 2 stars too many.

"The repercussions of this character death should be huge, and with only one issue left it makes me suspect that said repercussions will happen in another comic entirely."

Five issues of "Consequences" written by Gillen, post AvX...at 3.99 per issue, I will be literally LOLing at the suckers who buy into it. (as I have been at those who bought the main issues, tie-ins and VS books).

Don't worry, everyone is laughing right back at you.

Gillen is worthy of believing in.

I actually quite enjoyed it and think it deserves one, MAYBE two, more stars.

That he is. He's the main reason I'm going to be buying "Consequences".

I am not disputing that. Granted, he's not my cuppa....but he is a good writer, I'll give him that.

Wot I find "laughable" is the fact that you need a five-issue "consequences/aftermath" story...for an event that spanned six-issues plus extraneous tie-ins where-in apparently, nothing of vast import occurred...judging by the above review.

But...I did not read it...just the "spoilers" so...

Gillen's Uncanny run has been superlative, and the crossover issues of Uncanny have been the event's saving grace. I LOL at anyone who dismisses the "Consequences" issues.

Yep, and he's the reason why I'll be getting Consequences. But really, besides the P5, what can those consequences be for the other X-Men? Consequences of being Avenger lackeys I guess.

Agreed.

I'm looking forward to Consequences

AvX was a big mess, Gillen is one of the few who can make sense of this and write a good clean up story

CBR giving a poor review to a big Marvel crossover? Heck, if that doesn't indicate that the event sucked to Marvel, nothing will.

Good review. I think two stars is pretty much all this comic deserves. Aside from the great art and seeing Cyclops finally attack Emma Frost, there's nothing too remarkable about this. We all knew Xavier wouldn't make it out. This is one instance where Marvel does something that makes way too much sense. But is Cyclops really the antagonist here? If I recall, the Avengers launched the first attack. They're the ones that set this stuff into motion. And the complete and utter marginalization of Hope only leads me to hate her even more as this blatant plot device that has been utterly forgotten. I would have preferred she die, but I hope she has at least some role in the final issue. Otherwise, she'll be even more useless than she was before.

Well he is the antagonist here but I agree that this is the Avengers fault. They kept attacking and pushing him and in the end he could t take any more and has finally lost control.
They are the reason spoilers:

he became Dark Phoenix

end of spoilers

with the issue itself I would personally had given it 3-4 stars
