Why would Namor attack Atlantis? Unless the title is wrong and is confusing Wakanda and it's African people for Atlantis and it's blue skinned population. Atlantis is now sitting under Utopia.

It looks like Wakanda is being attacked. Not Atlantis.

"¤&%¤ Namor, can't wait to see him gettin his ass kicked and for the record, "#¤%¤ the rest of the phoenix 5, sounds like boybands of the 90's.. Avengers Assemble

[frick] that Pheonix 5 all day! Hope Namor wipes the floor with the Avengers. Although Beast and Black Panther were siding with the Xmen, they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But, I can't wait to see Cyclops but hands on Namor for attacking Wakanda without his permission. He needs to pimp hand the Emma Frost. She played Namor in her hand. Or maybe it was all apart of the bigger plan.

Of course Namor snaps first. So predictable...

Wakanda is an Island of Africa, it has always been by water.

@ Gambit89

Did you read the last AVsX with Emma Vs Thor? Good ass fight! Im sure after that you will hate her even more!

This is going to end up the Avengers and X-Men vs the Pheonix Five. Magik's treatment of Ms. Marvel turned Rogue around, and this action has to make every other single non-evil mutant (and some evil ones) that drank Cyclop's kool-aid a card carrying member of team Avenger. The aftermath of this event has me more intruiged than the event itself.

Wow, stuff just got....

even more real!


Its time these two characters (Namor and Black Panther) get big screen treatment, so maybe at some point such an event could be explored.

Atlantis vs Wakanda.

Black Panther vs Namor.

Namor has the strangest nipple placement on that double page picture...

Wakanda is a beautiful city when its not being destroyed. T'Challa is back in Wakanda now? Does he have the crown?

Im Still with the Xmen on this one. Avengers did come up in there home and just invade shit, when the X-men had only been helping earth. Given that Namor and Emma are going over board, think of everything the Xmen have been through, The Avengers have never been there to lend assistants. Now Cap wants to tell them what to do when he hasn't been doing shit. With the P5 Summers has turned villains into clean free energy, stopped wars. Feed the hungry. I know they won't come out on top, but Im still running with the Xmen on this one. They need something good for all the years of being running over and on the endangered list.

Boy, I'm so outta touch. Namor is in the X-Men?
oldnoname
oldnoname - 7/12/2012, 5:41 PM
cap seemed really interested in the fact that he was right more than what was happening around him. Is it just me or is he acting sort of wierd/annoying in this event. (it honestly could just be me 'cuz I don't really read marvel much.)
CrashTest

@ Olnoname

Nope its not just you. Cap seems to be acting just like that. I thought the same. Love him in the Civil War but now he's a dick.
