This book was really, really cool. Not only was it my first Avenger book, but it was also my first X-men book ever. From a story standpoint, I really enjoyed it. Only knowing what I've read in the Captain America books and reading a story description here and there, I didn't have a whole lot of back story. But for the most part, it didn't really matter. I was able to follow the story rather easily. The art in this book was really, really good. This story revolves around the dark phoenix. I was slightly familiar who/what the dark phoenix is from watching the x-men cartoon as a kid. This is indeed the same dark phoenix, but this is its second coming. Because the dark phoenix possesses several X-Men, it gives them to power to basically do whatever they want, even changing the world however they want. This creates two sides, those that support the X-men that are changing the world, and those that support the avengers. One of the other cool things about this book was marvel's AR. It is an app that lets you basically scan AR labeled frames and it will automatically open a web page for some additional information from marvel pertaining to the frame. I thought it was really cool and was kind of fun to get some explanation and or back story on some of the frames. Even if you haven't stayed up to date in the marvel universe, I felt this book was pretty easy to get into. This book is a worth while read.
