Avengers VS X-Men prologue

Avengers VS X-Men is the Marvel crossover comic book series which were released in the beginning of April 2012.

The plot includes the return of the Phoenix Force (the avatar of death and revival) and the war between the Avengers and the X-Men.
Prologue 
The prologue begins with a member of the Nova corps named Sam Alexander arriving on the birth planet of Terrax. Sam warns Terrax of an arriving force which would destroy his home planet. He then offers assistance in the evacuation of the planets citizens. Terrax doesn't believe what Sams says  and engages in a battle with him. The conflict is then broken up by the appearance of the Phoenix which Sam Alexander came to warn about. Terrax is then destroyed along with the rest of the citizens of his home planet as Alexander escapes from the death touch of the Phoenix. He then travels to Earth to full fill his mission of warning planets of the arrival of the Phoenix.
On Earth the new host for the Phoenix force has been thought to be Hope Summers and according to the X-Men will be the Messiah for Mutant kind. The X-Men protect and prepare Hope mentally and physically for the arrival of the Phoenix. The Avengers however believe that Hope should be taken into custody before the Phoenix arrives, as it will cause damage and mass destruction if it were to choose a new host.

Personally to me this is just a remake of the Civil war story line with one side going against the other with random fight sequences. However it was a rather good start for issue one of Avengers VS X-Men and I am looking forward to seeing how the story lines develop over the next 12 issues.

Which side will you choose?  The Homo Superiors with a chance of hope? Or Earths Mightiest Heroes who may have the chance to save the world once more? You decide                                                                                                                                            
Just another ordinary day at the office.......
