Avengers Vs. X-Men: Consequences (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
There is a certain joy in reading a story out of order and not knowing when you are going to find an unexpected puzzle piece. In this case I still haven't came across the Extinction story in which Scott Summers as the Phoenix Force does what he does. But in this one we get to see Scott Summers become what he becomes next. And it is pretty awesome. I still can't get over Scott Summers as an interesting readable character. And unlike the Avenger's books, Logan doesn't suck - though his art is a little off. Actually this is a bit of a travelogue check-in with lots of characters - and most of them done pretty well - Kitty and Ororo probably the weakest but still okay.

This collection ties them up and establishes the new status quo for the Marvel universe.Cyclops is in jail after killing Professor X while in the throes of the Phoenix force. Wolverine and Tony Stark visit him to try and learn more about the Phoenix force and get a lead on the members of the "extinction squad" who are at large (Magneto, Magik and Colossus). Hope is running around trying to find Cable, who disappeared after A vs. X. Eventually Magneto, Magik and Danger break Cyclops out of prison and escape with him to parts unknown. In the wreckage of the prison the Avengers find a note Cyclops left for Wolverine. In the note he explains that since Wolverine is acting the part of responsible leader, Cyclops is free to "do what needs to be done." Essentially, Wolverine and Cyclops have completely switched roles -- Logan serves as Headmaster at the "mutant school" and public figurehead of the Mutant people while Cyclops is the Mutant outlaw, operating in the shadows and doing the dirty work that needs to stay out of public view. Good stuff, but not a necessary collection unless you're really curious about what happened after A vs. X.3.5/5

Really, Marvel? And you wonder why your movies make 87 trajillion dollars more than your comics?
