I enjoyed Avengers Vs. X-Men; although, the last issue wasn't nearly as good as those that came before. Overall, this event served a purpose, giving readers closure of a few storylines. No More Mutants is over, Hope showed why she was the messiah for the Mutant race, and Cyclops' evolution as a character. JH might not find this characterization of Cyclops believable; but, it didn't bother me in the least. Scott Summers has always been a character who likes to keep his demons locked inside his mind; and, about the only person who could make him more human was Jean Grey. He's been through a lot, and turning him more into Magneto is more believable than having him be another Xavier. Scott has felt as if the burden of the mutant race has been on his shoulders, and it's a responsibility that Xavier thrust on him. Would Scott really have killed Xavier in JH's mind? I say yes, simply because Scott probably had deep-seated resentment for what Xavier did for him, and with the Phoenix Force driving him, he let all of that anger out. People snap, and Scott has snapped.
I'm liking how Marvel Now seems to be stemming out of this event. The New 52 has never made any sense; and, after Flashback, DC never took the time to explain how everything happened the way it did. (At least Marvel tried to explain how Spidey's new history fits into his changed life.) Now we are getting a Marvel Universe which is going to incorporate the X-World with the rest of the Marvel Universe. For too long, the X-World has been separate, and it's been a complaint from many a fan. For that reason alone, the event is very worthwhile. It's definitely NOT "the worst event to come out of Marvel since I've been reading." (Rememeber World War Hulk? Or, mini-events, like Shadowland.)
