"Infinity" Marvels next big event, possibly summer event.

Let's be real. Marvel is only putting the X-Men in promotional material and sollicits so that X-Men fans buy the Avengers event and elevate the sales past mediocrity (look at Fear Itself, total flop), after which Tom Brevoort can claim that the market once again chose the Avengers above all else.

Maybe 'Fear Itself' was a flop not because of lack of X Men but because people couldn't afford to buy a dozen comics they normally don't buy just to follow one story.

I get most of my stuff in trade paperback these days. It's cheaper.

I would be ok with the X-Men showing up if Rachel ended up reading one of the Illuminati's minds and figures out the whole event is Cap's fault.

He just can't help himself.

That's really why I don't like tie-ins that much. If I subscribe to All-New X-Men, it's because I want to read about teenage mutants and time-travel drama. Having a story arc shoved in there about some problem the Avengers are dealing with just doesn't make any sense. It'd be like a Grey's Anatomy/Modern Family crossover.

There should not be too much b***hing about this for two reasons:

1.) This was PAINFULLY obvious, since Whedon introduced Thanos as his real Big Bad at the end of the movie, so they're probably trying to synchronize the movie-verse and print-verse as much as possible.

2.) The X-Men seem to be barely involved, which is incredibly wonderful after the shite that was AvX. I'll take the X-Men having a 4-issue irrelevant tie-in over being part of the The (Annual) Big Event that Changes Things "Forever"

I specially liked this part,"grandest Marvel Comics event of all time,"
