Avengers Vol. 4

Avengers vs. X-Men is here & this volume of Avengers feels disconnected when you read it by itself.  This title & New Avengers are better read while reading Avengers vs. X-Men along with several X-Men titles.  The Avengers title focuses on the Avengers space plan to take out the Phoenix Force before it arrives to earth we are getting only parts of this story in this title.  It is shocking to see Wolverine & Beast siding with the Avengers instead of the X-Men.  There is another group looking to capture the Phoenix Force for their own purpose.  The Kree Empire is looking to take control with the help of Noh-Varr they come close to accomplishing this.  As if the betrayal of Noh-Varr was not enough for the Avengers they gain a little bit of an upper hand when they trick Rachel Summers into a trap in which some she feels that she has been betrayed by Professor X.  The big issue of the collection is the Red Hulk one in which General Ross travels to Utopia on his own to assassinate Scott Summers a job which the Ross know Wolverine would not be able to accomplish if asked.  However this does not come to pass & the Red Hulk is sent back to the Avengers as a message.  As a collection there isn't much here & should be read along with the Avengers vs. X-Men event.
