Highlights for Wednesday, July 4: Marvel Comics

The big book this week for marvel is clearly Avengers vs. X-Men #7 (of 12)! As we’ve seen, Cyclops and the other Phoenix-empowered X-Men have taken it upon themselves to make all the improvements to the world that they think need to be made. And they have demonstrated that they have the power to do it! Obviously, Steve Rogers and the Avengers are a little concerned.

Cyclops changes the game with these three words: "No More Avengers!"

Also AVX-related, we’re set to get Uncanny X-Men #15! I thought the last issue, which was all about Mister Sinister, was one of the best comics I’d read in a long while, even if it was only tangentially related to Avengers vs. X-Men (maybe). In this issue, it looks like the X-Men are gonna make their move against Sinister!

Fury Max #4 Also look for Amazing Spider-Man #689. The story with Curt Connors continues, this time including Morbius the Living Vampire! If you’re pumped about the Spider-Man movie — which comes out tomorrow! — and want to read a Lizard story, you should definitely be checking this one out.

Finally, there’s Fury MAX #4 from Garth Ennis and Goran Parlov. I don’t exactly recall that the last story arc came to a definitive ending (though I guess you could call it that), but at any rate this looks like it will be a great place to get on board.

Great jumping on point as the next chapter begins here. It’s 1961 and Fury gets a new assignment: The Assassination of Fidel Castro!
