Announced by Marvel today is the next big Marvel Universe event, Avengers vs X-Men!! This will bring together all the “architects” of the Marvel Universe once more with Aaron, Bendis, Fraction, Hickman and Brubaker writing and Copiel, Kubert, Cho and Romita Jr. drawing. The event centers around the return of the Phoenix Force as hinted in the Marvel Point One, but according to CBR that is not all:

On a story level, the focus of 2009′s X-Men “Second Coming” crossover, Hope Summers, will once again be the center of attention in “Avengers Vs. X-Men,” as the presumed host for the returning Phoenix Force. In fact, it’s the threat of the returning Phoenix Force that will instigate the conflict in the first place, Alonso says. “The Phoenix Force is the spirit of destruction and rebirth. It razes worlds to create something new. It’s bad news if you happen to be living on the world about to be razed. It’s great news if you’re what’s going to be the outcome of that world.”

Also taking center stage is the Scarlet Witch, who, in many ways, instigated this conflict years ago when she used her reality-altering powers to all but erase mutantkind from the planet. Bendis, who scripts her story in the series’ prologue issue, told the newspaper,”She’s been on a road of almost impossible-to-perceive redemption over the last few years and now is going to come face-to-face with the Avengers.”

This is going to be one you won’t want to miss!!!

Until next time, Make Mine MaximuM!!!
