Out today, Avengers Vs. X-Men #3:

The AVENGERS and X-MEN race to find the cosmic entity known as the Phoenix! With sparks flying between the two all-powerful teams, Hope takes matters into her own hands! Will she figure things out before Cap and Wolverine tear each other apart?

Ed Brubaker takes over scripting duties for this issue, and that makes a welcome change after Jason Aaron's pretentiousness on issue #2.

Not a lot happens in this issue. We get resolution to the slugfest in issue #2. Wolverine and Captain America come to blows. And a worldwide chase begins.

Some thoughts...

About Captain America... When Tony Stark notices you've gone off the deep end, it's pretty bad. Cap isn't making any sort of good decisions here, and the logic behind Cap's plan vis-a-vis Wolverine isn't there.

So, Scott has someone inside the Jean Grey School he can lean on for information. But why that person, who thoroughly hates his guts?

Of the issues thus far, this is probably the best.
