The series will involve the writers that Marvel has deemed their "architects" -- Matt Fraction, Jason Aaron, Ed Brubaker, Brian Michael Bendis and Jonathan Hickman.

The series will be 12-issues and bi-weekly, launching in March with a special #0 prologue issue. The writers will be alternating issues, while the series will be drawn in four-issue arcs by John Romita Jr., Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert.

"It's interesting to see each guy bringing his best to the table," Aaron told USA Today. "You don't want to be the weak link who lets the team down. Each issue, every guy's trying to throw down the gauntlet and one-up the guy who came before him."

Wow, I wasn't expecting this. Kinda disappointing, but at least we'll get a big fight.

Why do they continue to exclude Gillen, one of their best writers and the current Uncanny writer 🙁

At least Coipel will make it pretty

They both get trashed by the Fantastic Four.

The end.

WTF.

The avengers have absolutely no business giving Cyclops' X-team any trouble, much less Wolverine's team in addition.

Isn't wolverine a part of the avengers and X-men?

Looks like Logan's attacking Emma. Allegiances will be murky, no doubt.

Still, Magneto, Juggernaut...Avengers better hope Thor's back in time, or that they get to keep his replacement.

Hahahaha, I hope so.

Colosonaut vs Red Hulk. That should be good. I refuse to really get my hopes up though just to see Bendis or Fraction bring me down again. Still, kinda looking forward to it I guess...

Only New Avengers and as for X-men he has his own team now

and Bendis as one of their "architect" more like destroyer.

YES.

Hulk smash puny teams.

Loving Hawk-eyes new style (ultimates).

This is no fun w/o Thor or Hulk in the event... 🙁

This even really reminds me of Dark Avengers vs. X-Men... it wasn't satisfying, let hope this one is.

I'm actually looking forward to this, mostly because it's not coming dressed up as 'the be-all, end-all, never before precedented third coming of comic Jesus', but appears to embrace the idea of a simple, straight forward showdown... though I may eat those words come the actual event.

I'm pretty curious about why Logan looks like he's about to slice Emma.

I know everyone else is also hoping Thor teleports in at the end, owns both teams, and then kills the Phoenix.

YES.

You said it. Let it be Hickman or someone of that vein, not Fraction. Anyone but Fraction.

What did you say Rage?

FRACTION ASSEMBLE!!!?

F*CK. YEAH.

Also, f*ck this event. No Gillen = Shit X-Men portrayal, as far as i'm concerned.

I'd like Hickman, Brubaker, Waid, or Gage on the Avengers.

No Fraction, please.

Got a feeling Sentry will be brought back to even things up for the Avengers.

****.

I hope to God you're wrong, Nihilist.
