Marvel revealed the cover to Avengers Versus X-Men #1 by Jim Cheung. This is the first issue of the 12 part event kicking off in April.
Very interesting to note that Wolverine and Beast are seen on the Avengers side. Logan and Scott split the X-Men during Schism but Wolverine is always the wild card. If one of his mutant students or Hope needs his protection due to the return of the Phoenix Force, Logan may switch sides.
Beast felt betrayed by Cyclops and left before Schism. But as the Dark Phoenix saga proved Hank would side with his fellow mutants if they need him.
Jim Cheung’s work is always stunning. Avengers: The Children’s Crusade is one of the most beautifully drawn books Marvel publishes.
Whatever the philosophical reason for him to side with the Avengers it’s a bit disappointing to see Wolverine on their side. It doesn’t truly feel like Avengers v X-Men without Wolvie on the side of the team he really belongs to.
Thanks for the comment. Logan’s torn between two teams may make a good story but I want Cyclops and him to resolve their issues – AVX may be what brings them together…until the next event.
