A really interesting preview for #1: www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=36867I knew Scott would be stubborn about this, but wanting to actually try and control the Phoenix with all the risks of death and destruction just to try and save the mutant race? Even Magneto thinks it's a bad idea. Scott's gone off the deep end this time. Xavier taught him better than this.

nice, regardless of my interest i still think the idea of the phoenix force is one of the dumbest decisions by marvel.

On another note, I think his art in this one looks better than his recent stint on Avengers. More polished.
Cavey, could you explain what you mean? Do you not like the Phoenix in general, prefer it to be just connected to Jean Grey, or don't like that it's being used in this event? Since I've only started reading X-Men comics with Schism and Regenesis, I don't know that much about the Phoenix other than it was a big story and its translation into the animated series (even then I don't remember that much about it). Still, I think it's a big enough threat for this story.

you know the phoenix force is a retcon right? the concept originally was just jean gray using her powers to their full potential.
i am criticizing marvel's decision to change it into the 3001th symbiotic creature in comic books.

Finally, a preview for Issue 2. The war has begun and Colossus is about to take on Red Hulk: www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=12071Cyclops: "Ugly stepchildren. That's all we've ever been to them. As soon as we get a messiah of our own, they want to swoop in and take her away. That's how it starts. It ends with our extinction." Reading that, I literally thought "Shut the fuck up Scott." I know I've probably said it before, but he's totally lost it. This is Magneto level thinking, and Magneto is literally a few steps away from him telling him to think this through. Okay, granted the Avengers showed up with a Hellicarrier, but Cyclops fired the first blast. He's so obsessed with saving the mutant race, he is turning against all allies who have a different view. He drove Logan away and split the team in half, and now he's declared war on the Avengers, who he feels are only there to mess with the mutants, ignoring the bigger picture that a cosmic force is on its way to Earth that he thinks could restore the mutant race to its glory but could also wipe out the entire planet. And to top it all off, I saw a pic where Cyclops is actually blasting Hope, yes Hope, with his optic beam. You want to protect Hope, but you end up attacking her? Talk about inconsistency. I really don't see how anyone can support the X-Men in this battle when their leader is causing so much damage to their cause. By the end of this, I hope Scott dies or at least becomes a Magneto like villain because he's no longer fit to lead; Xavier would be ashamed. Sorry if I seem to be overemotional about this; I guess I'm just really getting into the story.

It might pick up once the Phoenix arrives. And besides, with most VS stories, they'll probably wind up teaming up at the end.
