Marvel has just launched the follow up to Avengers vs. X-Men #0 of March 2012, the culmination of Fear Itself, X-Men: Schism and Avengers: The Children’s Crusade. If you are an avid comic collector like me, then you probably own all the issues of each of these storylines and can understand why AvX is so exciting!

But Avengers vs. X-Men is exciting regardless. I mean, we all love crossovers don’t we!? Featuring the return of Phoenix Force, the surfacing Age of Ultron, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, X-men and a battle royal spanning a 12-issue limited series we are in for a ride!

However if you are like me it is hard to just sit there after reading an issue and wait for the next bi-weekly release. I mean I am a collector and I need something to collect! The good news is this isn’t the first time we have seen the Avengers vs. X-Men battle.
