  “Say What!?

  Comics Newsarama received an exclusive image and preview from Marvel that will be blowing minds and buzzing message boards today:

  New Avengers #25 is being called an Avengers Versus X-Men tie-in where “Iron Fist Discovers The Shocking Connection Between Himself And The Cosmic Phoenix Force.”

  Here’s what we know: The Phoenix Force is coming to Earth in search of a new human host. The entity has previously been attracted to mutants with Jean Grey being the most infamous host. A shocking decision related to the return of the Phoenix is what ignites the war between the super teams. I’ll have to do some digging but the entity has been hosted by non-mutants (Alan Davis’ Excalibur run) and aliens like the Shiar.  

This image is definitely a surprise – maybe New Avengers will be of an exploration of possible candidates as host for the Phoenix?
