has anyone been keeping up with this series? its freaking amazing!!! i just caught up with it. so the story line goes..
both the x men and the avengers find out the pheonix force is returning to earth, and the mutant messiah hope, is about to receive it..but the avengers want to destroy it. and all out war ensues between them, at first the avengers get the upper hand, then the tides turn and its stale mated, until the pheonix force comes, iron man developed a machine he thought would destroy it.. but it just seperates the energy and it goes into five x men, CYCLOPS, ILYANA(MAGIK), COLOSSUS, EMMA FROST AND NAMOR(THE SUB MARINER, YES HE IS AN X MAN NOW) and needless to say the five become godlike.. and pretty much whup the avengers asses...they start out by reshaping the world..trying to save it...but the avengers try and destroy the pheonix force which results in some decent, in the form of beast and black panther who think the pheonix five are doing good... ill leave it at that as this is spoiler ridden enough... def. worth a read if you are into comic books. and yes the story does have a martial twist to it.. as the iron fist seems to have some ability to defeat them, but it hasnt been developed yet.
