That's one of those matchups you knew HAD to be coming. But is it just me or, does Rogue kinda look like she doesn't want to fight? Something about her face and gesture seems to say that to me.

I wouldn't read too much into those teasers:

Q: Will all the battles (like Iceman/Spiderman) teased in the released images actually happen?

A: Not necessarily, not as specific showpieces. They're meant to be representative.

Q:"Not necessarily, not as specific showpieces. They're meant to be representative." So, those duels shown in the teasers may not even happen in the VS stories? They're just for teasing sake?

A: They are teasers, yes.
 
So they have teased Hulk, Spidey, Ms Marvel, Thor, and Iron Man. The big guns left are Cap, Wolverine, and Scott. If Wolverine is indeed on the Avengers side we could see Wolvie VS Scott round two, or more like Scott VS Cap and Logan VS ????? .

I mean as far as teasers match ups go.
 

Yeah, the fight teasers don't make much sense unless Marvel is actually going to undo the post-Schism status quo just six months after it began by putting Cyclops' and Wolverine's X-Men on the same side. I'm sure there will be a fair amount of drama involving characters switching sides and such, but I'm guessing that "Avengers and Wolverine and the X-Men vs. Uncanny X-Men" would be a more accurate title.

Not only that, but they are going to have a hard time selling Wolverine siding with Scott over Cap with the huge man crush Logan has had on him lately.
 

Wait a minute is this the real Hulk?
I thought Red Hulk was an Avenger while The Incredible Hulk was still trying to stop his calmer self.
Damn it have a missed another set of issues of The Incredible hulk?(Im going to kill my comicshop owner for not putting them up if i have)

When did Hulk go back the wearing purple pants?
I thought he was still doing the whole loin-cloth thing.

Hulk has to win, though. A White Queen win would make World War Hulk appear to be one embarrassing debacle for Earth's mightiest heroes.

Dont underestimate the bad writing of Marvel....They have Thor beat the Silver Surfer on multiple occasions.
Seeing Emma Frost beat Hulk would be the least surprising thing of this crossover.
 
the Lamngers... :(

What team is Wolvie on?
I dug out my copies and reread the first two issues last night. God, the writing is terrible. But I was 11 or 12 when it came out.

Also came across some other things i'd forgotten I had, like X-Men and the Micronauts, and this:

Marvel: "These fights will not actually happen."
V_Arnold: "I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE FIGHTS ARE ACTUALLY HAPPENING. Comics are broken."

These fights will not actually happen.
Cool.

That still wont change that they are showing us Archangel when that aspect of Angel should be no more. They just got rid of it. But status quo, status quo...

I am not whining about the pair or the fight.
 

Not even Dale Keown can make toilet bowl Colossus look cool. The human buttplug look is just plain stupid. Keep that garbage on Juggernaut and stop inflicting it on cool characters.

Damn Gob, you read comics? I thought you'd be too busy reading fighting game faqs and writing fanfic. :P
 
Not as busy as you being offended by said fighting games ;)

It's a better time. I've got a bunch of fun new fighters and can ignore Crapcom ruining things I loved in the past. :D

Seriously man, you look like Will Arnett with goofy facial hair. Real pic month is freaking me out. Another guy here looks like someone I worked with, and that's being generous because that asshole did no work at all. >:O

Two more:

Come on Humberto, I love you man; but damn. This is some sub animu stuff right here. I mean it's still pretty well drawn; but Spider WOMAN. Not Spider Pre-Teen Girl. >:|

Still not as good as Mike Zeck's original Cap vs Wolverine pic:

God damn right!

I have a Mike Zeck shaped hole in my heart. :(
 

Hmmm....Hulk already beat the tar about of most of the Marvel U's Earth's heroes, so this just looks funny to me. Green Scar Hulk versus the X-men in World War Hulk was an awesome read. When he took pity on Xavier after his massive beat down of the entire time, it was a somber victory.

Marvel pretty much confirmed Hulk as a ultimate plot device of power for writers to thrown down at any given time when the needs call for it. He could take down armies, fight gods, be a threat to the entire planet, or get smacked down by some chosen hero when the plot calls for it. Then again I guess they had to in World War Hulk cause Marvel overdid it with The Sentry.

Still, White Queen? He's extremely resistant against mental attacks, and well we all know his power levels. Hell, just get Green Scar Hulk out here and you need both The Avengers and X-men to hold against him.
 
BEHOLD, OPTIC BLAST!

I remember the old X-Men vs Avengers comics, it is nice to revist an older concept with a newer twist. Also, what are the chances that Cyclcops would be a downloadable character in UMvC3?

Anywho, those teasers could use some Shi'ar versus Guardians of the Galaxy kind of action!
 
AvX #1 cover, featuring the cliched face-off composition:

If this cover is to be taken literally, all the Westchester X-Men except Wolverine and Beast will side with Cyclops. (Don't take it literally.)
 
Storm beat Mjolnir before
when Wonder Woman was using it
though maybe it doesn't apply now :P

Yeah I'd probably side with whomever had Rogue and Juggerlossus

and Magneto
