  Eager fans lined up to celebrate and be the first to get Avengers Vs. X-Men #1 at more than 1,100 comic book stores worldwide. Retailers voted to stand with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes or the Children of the Atom. Customers got exclusive posters, buttons and other swag celebrating their chosen team.

  AvX writer Matt Fraction and Editor C.B. Cebulski appeared at Excalibur Comics in Portland to get the party started. Thanks to Kyle Heinstiein of Happy Robot Photography. You can see more of this great shots at this Portland Pulp gallery link.

I was the first to buy at Zanadu Comics in Seattle. I “ooooooed” and “aahhhhhed” as Perry unloaded the copies, variants, buttons and lithographs!
