AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #5 Written by Matt Fraction Art by John Romita Jr. Release Date: June 6, 2012 “Well, that was unexpected.” That was my first thought upon finishing this book.

AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #4 Written by Jonathan Hickman Art by John Romita Jr. Release Date: May 16, 2012 With issue #3 being the strongest of the series so far, I had pretty high expectations for issue #4. Sadly, I have to say this issue was the weakest of the series so far and I hope…
