The way I figure it, there are two core groups of people that are entertaining the notion of buying this expensive $75 hardcover collection of Marvel’s latest event comic: those waiting to read it in collected format and those that liked the series enough in single issues to double dip and buy the collected version. While the hardcover Marvel has put together is certainly attractive-looking on a bookshelf, I’m not sure the price can be justified for either party.
The average IGN Comics score for Avengers vs. X-Men (the main series, issues #0-12) was a 6.8. It was a mostly mediocre event experience with a few moments of greatness sprinkled in. There was some great artwork scattered throughout, but ultimately there’s an uneven quality to the narrative and a notion of indecision in terms of just who the anchor of this series was supposed to be. Generally, it starts as a series about the Phoenix coming for Hope Summers, but ultimately this becomes a bunch of moments (and punches) that struggle to maintain an engaging connective thread.
