My Vague (Bullet Point) Review: AvX #12 with SPOILERS


So I just read AvX #12 and I found it to be meh. It was predictable and not completely told very well. So here is my bullet point review:


  • The art didn't convey the story well
  • With the amount of psychic training Scott received over the years, it was sad to see him fall victim to the Phoenix
  • The convo between Wanda and Hope could've been a bit more effective
  • Scott's Phoenix power supposedly caused major trauma on the world. That was far-fetched
  • With all of the super smart folks on both teams, they could've figured out that Wanda and Hope could stop the Phoenix a long time ago
  • Why couldn't have Rachel helped? She is the most disciplined when it comes to hosting the Phoenix.
  • If there's no more Phoenix, then why treat Scott as the cosmic threat of the century? He no longer a threat
  • And if Scott is imprisoned, what about Wanda? Why is she allowed to go scott-free?
  • Jean Grey teases are overdone, but I was glad to see her
  • Should Hope cease to exist since the Phoenix is gone? I thought she would be the messiah through the ultimate sacrifice
  • Captain America just now realized his stance on mutants?
  • The whole Iron Fist story line was a waste
  • What happens to Hope now? And do we care? It just seems she was created to be a Jean Tease

I hope this won't affect the new books, but this ending was broke.

Man that was crap. Read Uncanny 19! It was amazing.
