Avengers vs. X-Men! If you have ever wanted to see the two greatest Marvel Comics teams of all time throw-down – a lot – with world-ending stakes on the line, this is the event for you. It was then, and still remains, the largest X-Men event of all-time by issue count. That is why I have made this era 18.1; it’s not really an era of its own, but combining it with the one before would absolutely blow past my goal of having each era be between 100 and 200 issues. *I know some eras have extended beyond 200, but this would stretch past 250.* Anyway, the gist of this is that (as you likely guessed from the era title) the Phoenix is coming back to Earth, presumably to inhabit Hope Summers, and the Avengers and X-Men have very different ideas about how to handle the situation. Tensions that have been simmering for years boil over and a knock-down, drag-out fight for the ages is on! The ending is unforgettable and holds major consequences for the team.
