This April Marvel Comics is getting some payback on DC by releasing Avengers vs X-Men, a twelve-issue series written by Jason Aaron, Brian Michael Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction and Jonathan Hickman — and drawn by Olivier Coipel, Andy Kubert, and John Romita Jr. Marvel is billing this thing as the biggest event in comics history. Not sure about that (DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths will always hold that rank), but it will no doubt be huge and I’ll be buying the fuck out of it.
Along with the twelve-issue main series, Marvel will be doing a tie-in series called AVX: Versus. These will be one-shot books that feature one Avenger and one X-Men fighting each other – and as Connor Macleod of the Clan Macleod once said, ” there can be only one.” This is a fanboy’s wet dream come true. All those hours spent debating with your nerd friends on whether Colossus could beat up The Thing will now be answered – by writers better than you.
So let’s get to it! Who’s gonna come out on top? Let’s vote!
Up First…
Hawkeye vs Cyclops!

I want to still call him Colossus. Somewhere, deep down, he’s still Kitty’s little Piotr.
you know, I didn’t even realize I had called Colossus “Juggernaut” when I was typing up this post. It was just that helmet man! I’m gonna change the name to Colossus.

Cyclops is a whiny bitch. Kills me that he gets to stay in the SF Bay while Professor Logan heads back east. Stick an arrow in his junk, Clint.
In a slash fiction world, every one of these ends up with intercourse.
Every single one of them.
