Avengers vs. The X-men Marvel's 2012 event *Spoilers*

I don't think Pietro was ever in the X-Men, but he was in X-Factor for a little while. Does that count?

 

Eh close enough.

 

Here's the coverage from the conference call...and man this gets exciting. Bendis confirmed that Avengers: X-Sanction is a prelude to Avengers Vs X-Men among other things. They also stated when asked about Jean that we should keep our eyes on Hope.

I know Marvel wants to do this as an event written by all of their "Architects", but it's a shame that Kieron Gillen-- the writer of "Uncanny" (in my mind, the franchise flagship book)-- isn't involved. I like his writing far more than Aaron or Fraction. As for Hickman, as much as I like him, he has never written for either The X-Men or The Avengers.

 

Kieron will probably write the Uncanny tie-in issue. No doubt there will be a barrage of them.

 

I think Quicksilver was originally going to be in Chuck Austen's line up, however there were plans to use him in Avengers I think and so he was replaced with Northstar.

Pietro was however an X-men in Age of Apocalypse I think. But that doesn't really count as it's an alternate timeline.

 

Here's an article from CBR on the history of Avengers Vs X-Men.

I was six when that came out!

 

We're getting less tie-in issues and "Avengers Vs X-Men" is bi-weekly. That's pretty cool.

Here's the cover for the prologue issue #0 for Avengers Vs X-Men features Hope and Wanda. Bendis and Jason Aaron will be co-writing it as mentioned in the article.
