So, a Crisis-reboot with a new Earth . . . or a clear winner and clear loser . . . . or something else. (Like, maybe one side agrees that the other is right and then they work together?) I don't feel strongly about any of those options yet, but obviously things are leading towards something. And . . that's what keeps it interesting and keeps us reading.pghheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489405735995561809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597330685028834268.post-21056470981488008562012-04-23T16:20:01.502-04:002012-04-23T16:20:01.502-04:00Thanks for the feedback.

(Hint: double-tap the video to "lock it in" so you can watch it without hovering over the book.) <br /><br />What's well worth the download, either separately for $0.99 or free with AvX #1, is Infinite Comics #1. It's a really fun & innovative way of presenting comics that couldn't be done on paper, but it's NOT a "motion comic" (no animation or sound.) Whether less talented creators than Mark Waid & Stuart Immonen -- which is almost everyone -- can pull off the format remains to be seen, but I'm excited to see them try. (The next one is with AvX #6, I believe.)<br /><br />[Mike, you can redeem the digital codes or buy digital comics at Comixology and read them on the web now and they'll still be in your account when your iPad arrives. I go back & forth between the web, my phone and my Kindle Fire all the time.]<br /><br />As for the reboot, I know Tom Brevoort has denied it on his Formspring and I think he and Axel Alonso have said so in interviews too. Of course, they could be misdirecting on purpose (lying) and I haven't parsed their words carefully enough to see if they left a loophole. If there really is a "definitive" winner, it seems inconceivable to me that the Avengers would lose in the year that their movie comes out. On the other hand, how much more misery can you inflict on the X-Men who are already almost wiped out? (Though not so wiped out that they can't support 6 titles a month.) Hopefully, the answer will be as interesting as the questions.Jeff Metznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999238508906021766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597330685028834268.post-64195272955734499472012-04-22T09:27:34.131-04:002012-04-22T09:27:34.131-04:00We have a classic confrontation here = two sides (...<i>We have a classic confrontation here = two sides (represented by Cap and Cyclops) both convinced they are taking the right course of action. It’s going to be either “death and destruction” or “rebirth.”</i><br /><br />This is why I think <i>AVX</i> could be a <i>Crisis</i>-style reboot of the Marvel Universe. It's the way that <i>both</i> points of view can be correct because I really doubt that Marvel would want to ultimately paint one group of characters (either the X-Men or the Avengers) as being <i>wrong</i>. But if there's a kind of reboot — the old Earth gets destroyed, a new Earth is reborn in its place — then both sides can be right.Allyn Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003708414795601298noreply@blogger.com
