After the big news that Marvel is getting into 2012 with a big brouhaha between The Avengers and the X-Men, today we learn the first shots are going to be fired next week.
“On the eve of the biggest Marvel event—maybe ever—Ed McGuinness and I are thrilled to be the lead-in for Avengers VS X-Men,” said Loeb. “Hopefully longtime fans and first time Cable, X-Men and Avengers readers will be excited by a story that can be read entirely on its own and at the same time has lots of stocking stuffer-esque surprises just in time for the holidays.”

Two-time world champion, hardcore icon, 1/2 of the reigning WIBWF Tag Team Champions of the World!!! Bluuuuuuuuuuuuueee Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeele! I met him and Noodles MacIntyre at a signing back in ’07, couldn’t have asked for a nicer guy. Plus, there aren’t that many guys over 350 pounds who will go off the top rope like that.
The cover art…. why does it look like Cap and Cable are about to kiss?
