Well, Marvel said the reveal for the "It's Coming" teaser would be coming on Wednesday, but it looks like we don't have to wait that long after all.

 

Marvel announced through USA Today that the teaser refers to their 2012 event series, titled simply, Avengers vs. X-Men. The series will involve the writers that Marvel has deemed their "architects" -- Matt Fraction, Jason Aaron, Ed Brubaker, Brian Michael Bendis and Jonathan Hickman. So what does that teaser have to do with pitting the X-Men against the Avengers?

 

 

With the Phoenix rocketing toward Earth looking for a new host -- which USA Today teases might be Hope Summers -- the lines are drawn as the X-Men want to prepare Hope for her new role as Phoenix, while the Avengers want to spare her from that fate. Fraction said of Hope, "Some people treat her as though she's a messiah, some people treat her as though she's a monster, and really she's just like any 17-year-old kid."

 

"It's one of those legendary ideas: What if the Avengers fought the X-Men? It doesn't get much easier to describe than that," Brubaker added.

 

The series will be 12-issues and bi-weekly, launching in March with a special #0 prologue issue. The writers will be alternating issues, while the series will be drawn in four-issue arcs by John Romita Jr., Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert.

"It's interesting to see each guy bringing his best to the table," Aaron told

OMG cool !!! , thanks for the info !!!

Okay. they're are like eight? Avengers. And then think how many X-Men there are. That's a bit unfair.

There tons of Avengers

-There's Avengers Academy,New Avengers,Avengers,Secret Avengers and i think there's couple more avengers groups

-While X-men have tons members.With Wolverine leaving X-men and taking more than 20 x-men with him.Who knows what these X-men and Wolverine will do in this war.

-X-men ike storm,wolverine and beast are part of Avengers and X-men group and it looks like there part of avengers so it;s pretty fair fight.

Wow. There's that many Avengers? I don't really delve into the alternate future and plots and stuff like that. There's something like 200 X-Men, post what Scarlet Witch did to make the mutant gene die out or something. I know that much...I'm probably wrong.

Man, I was hoping this was gonna be a movie

 

At least we have the avengers movie coming next year.

avengers all the way

Here what say about these writers

Matt Fraction:Writes good Iron Man everything eles that's by himself isn't that great in my opinion.

Jason Aaron:Knows how to write good X-men stories and it pretty good writer

Ed Brubaker:Amazing writer easily best at Marvel.His runs are amazing and knows about to write Crime well and superheros well.He's one who made Bucky important character agsain

Brian Michael Bendis: Wrote one best runs in history comics on daredevil and makes alot good comics but when write too many comics at once he's isn't very good

Jonathan Hickman: Another than his FF runs i don't know much about him

 

some points from ign

From what Marvel has revealed thus far, it appears that Phoenix is headed for Earth looking for a new host. All signs point to that host being Hope Summers. This mysterious mutant first appeared on the scene during the Messiah Complex crossover, where she emerged as the first mutant born since M-Day. Now Hope is grown up and fighting alongside the X-Men. Physically, Hope closely resembles Jean Grey, but her mutant ability instead allows her to mimic the powers of other nearby mutants. The time may have finally come to learn what Hope's connection to the Phoenix Force and Jean Grey is.

 

Whatever happens, expect a major focus on the entire family in Avengers vs. X-Men. Cyclops will lead the X-Men in battle. Cable is set to return shortly in the pages of Avengers: X-Sanction. His return is a harbinger of greater challenges to come, and it's likely he'll play a large role in Avengers vs. X-Men too. Rachel Grey also recently returned to Earth, and this former Phoenix host may have her own part to play.

 

One of the central questions surrounding the storyline right now is whether the return of Phoenix also means the return of Jean Grey. Jean was the original host for the Phoenix Force, and it led her to both save the galaxy and destroy an entire solar system. Jean died at the climax of Grant Morrison's New X-Men even as her Phoenix powers were resurfacing. Despite her legendary talent for returning from the dead, she's remained largely out of the picture ever since.

 

For one thing, there are currently members of the X-Men on various Avengers squads. Wolverine has been with the team for years. Beast has been serving on the Secret Avengers since the beginning of the Heroic Age. Storm only recently joined the newest roster of Avengers, and somehow we doubt the timing was mere coincidence. These characters will be forced to choose which side they support.

 

It's also worth noting that the X-Men themselves are now divided. Following the events of Schism, Cyclops and Wolverine now lead two independent teams on opposite sides of the country. The new teaser image released today showcases Cyclops' faction as well as Beast and Wolverine, but both these latter characters seem to be battling alongside the Avengers. Will the rest of Wolverine's team join the fray, and will they follow his example?

 

 

The recent Point One issue offered the closest glimpse so far as to how this unity operates. The issue showcased Nova (who may or may not be a returned Richard Rider) fleeing the Phoenix Force and attempting to warn the heroes of Earth. Other story segments showed the new Scarlet Spider in action, the genesis of the new Defenders team, and new events unfolding in the Age of Apocalypse universe, among other plot points.

 

Following Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness' work on Avengers: X-Sanction, Brian Michael Bendis and Jason Aaron will write a #0 prologue issue, with Frank Cho drawing. Those two writers will be joined on the main series by Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker, and Jonathan Hickman. Rather than co-write each issue together, the five writers will alternate issues. The series will be drawn by John Romita Jr., Olivier Coipel, and Adam Kubert, who will each tackle individual four-issue segments

 

There will most likely be more event comics from Marvel where DC will not be doing any.

 

Smart Move by Marvel by doing this will get people reading comics like it did with Civil War.
