Avengers vs. X-Men (2012) [Marvel]

[tridon]

So, what do you think? My opinion is that it started off very strong, but with the big "twist" at the end of issue #5, I now have a horribly sour taste in my mouth. With Marvel's solicitations for issue #11 and #12 showing that the "twist" isn't going anywhere, I'm not feeling too keen in regards to finishing this mini-series that I was once excited for.

I'm not reading the side issues, only the main issues I finished 4 a fews ago and haven't read #5 yet. To be honest I could tell that is not keeping the same quality. I would be happy if cyclops ceases to exist, he is so blind by his own agenda is maddening.

Avengers vs. X-Men Discussion Thread

Just figured I'd give it its own thread ....

Here is what I currently have...

 

[Horhay]

So far I'm up to round 4, I have #5 and will go tomorrow to my comic shop to get #6 (hopefully the Thor variant). So far I just think that xmen can't see the bigger picture, Scott is too close to the problem to see things clear.

But hey, it's not like it's some small series or anything! It's Avengers and X-Men! Two threads it is!

Have all of them as eComics at the moment, even the variants. I don't have any on paperback yet though. Been meaning to get out and buy them though.

Spoiler

In case anyone is curious, I use ComicGlass now which seems to be the best eComic reader for the iPad, and yes...I tried them all.

 

[Horhay]

Can someone explain to me why the variants are so expensive? For example I was looking to get some of the variant covers last night and found out that Round 5 with Scarlet Witch on the cover without the color it was something like 187 compared to the regular version.

Even that Round 3 Variant above without the colors was super expensive. Any ideas?

 

[Lone Crusader]

Variants tend to be a little bit more pricey. This is because there is a limited run on Variants compared to the standard covers. Due to this fact, after time the Variants would be worth more than the regular covers. It also depends on the print run for the Variant. Sometimes it's 1:100 ration and sometimes less or sometimes more.

Go to Midtown Comics and search for Avengers vs Xmen and you can see all the variants for each round.

Yeah the ones I saw were 1:200, damn it now I want them!!! lol

Although I am not paying 187 for a comic book. At least that's what I say now.

Holy crap, they have a lot of variants. I don't see a need to own every variant though. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't pay more than $100 on a comic book unless it was a signed edition or variant but that's just me.

Yeah, as Marvel does with all of their big summer events, each issue of Avengers vs. X-Men is LOADED with variant covers. That said, if anyone is interested in the variants of the later issues at a cheaper price, check out Discount Comic Book Service. I always buy my variants from them because they're a lot cheaper than eBay or my lcbs.

If anyone is reading this digitally, what do you think of the Infinite issues? I freakin' love them! They're so innovative and being that they're written by Mark Waid, they're a good read, too!

 

[Horhay]

They seem to have good prices. I am going to see what else they have. Thanks for the link.

The only Infinite issue I have at the moment is Round 6. It reads beautifully in ComicGlass. With the iPad 3's Retina Display it's an awesome experience.

I can only imagine!

There's only been two Infinite issues so far. The one starring Cyclops that was attached to AvX #6 and the one starring Nova that was attached to issue #1. The Nova one was SICK!!!

 

[Horhay]

Infinite? What versions are those? damn you guys are going to drive my wallet empty.

The regular digital issue has the Infinite issue at the end of the comic. The regular issue #6 is $3.99 while the Infinite edition is only $1.99 in ComiXology. Same with issue #1.

ok, I will check it out later while at home. I get the physical copies because I get digital codes too. Only comic I've been buying on an app is Invincible Iron Man. Anyways, back on topic. I'll check those Infinite comics when I am home.

Technically still on topic as the Infinite issues are exclusive to AvX. But since you have the digital versions that came with the physical issues, you should have the Infinite comics attached to those (for issues #1 and #6).

 

[Horhay]

hmm maybe I am just missing something lol I'll double check. I order #6 last night so it should arrive sometime next week.
