Why the heck would two superhero teams that fight for good and justice pit themselves head to head in an ultimate showdown of epic proportions? Why Hope and the Phoenix of course! 
 What I love about this book is how they take all your favorite superheroes and you get a taste of them all. You get Spider-man's antics, Cyclops's angst, Iceman's shirtless body. ;) You get the picture. There is something for everyone here! 
 The second thing I enjoy is the story creates an interesting dilemma in which I'm unsure who to root for. Usually I just side with the good side, but who is good in this case? The X-men have the belief that Hope is the savior of mutantkind. The Avengers believe that she will cause the destruction of the entire planet. In the end, I just enjoy the ride, piecing together the plot as it comes. 
 I strongly recommend reading the hardcover edition because it includes some extra issues that flesh out the story. Point One gives you some interesting backstory. Vs gives some delicious fight scenes, which add both humor and gravitas to the story. What seems to be the overall theme is no matter who wins, both teams lose in the end. It makes you question what it is we're fighting for, and how we're just pawns in a greater cosmic picture. 
 Notable fights for me are Spider-man vs. Colossus and Captain America vs. Gambit. It may be cliche, but Spider-man is always a favorite to watch battle because of his witticism. The Cap and Gambit because they're in my top 5 of favorite Marvel superheroes. The other notable fight for me is between Black Widow and Magik. I never knew Black Widow spoke Russian, so it took me by surprise when the two have a tete-a-tete po-russki. The fact they include Cyrillic without translations also makes me super giddy. Puts those 2 years of Russian class to good use! It's interesting what they're saying because the dialogue is actually really cheeky and clever, which I felt added an extra dimension to the fight (no pun intended [them fighting in Limbo and all]). 
 Overall, I strongly recommend reading this compilation if you haven't already. If you're a fan of Marvel, this story arc is really pivotal to what happens next. It's pretty much the bridge to the new Uncanny X-Men (2013), which I'm super excited to delve into. 
 My only complaints to the authors is why the heck did you leave She-Hulk out of the fight scenes? Isn't she the strongest female on the planet? Seems kind of pivotal to the team if you ask me...Also, I think you broke some cardinal rule by having Iron Man win against Magneto. That's just ridiculous!
