I object to the premise of this post because it’s never been definitely proven Chad Nevett can read.

Vince,

That’s the core story. I found the tie-ins to be the better part of the event (although, sometimes the worst part, too). But, to get the story of Avengers vs. X-Men, the main series alone is enough. AVX: VS doesn’t really add much and I didn’t check out the Infinite stories (which I guess points to how ‘essential’ they are). So, you’re good.

I didn’t read a single issue, and instead ordered the hardcover. According to Amazon, it’s Avengers vs. X-Men 0-12, Point One (AVX story), AVX: VS 1-6, Avengers vs. X-Men: Infinite 1, 6, 10.

Should that be enough?

Are comics readers losing their stamina? We used to hear about “event fatigue” after a series of events without enough time to “rest” in between but this is the first time I’ve heard anyone complain about being “exhausted” just from one single event. Maybe we need an intermission for a couple of months in the middle of events now so that all the exhausted bloggers can catch their breath.

I’m with Ziggy. It was just dumb fun, as advertised. These reading lists always feel like either an exercise in masochism or smugness run amok. This guy hated this series — why is he putting all this work into figuring it out? I’m sure the pay’s not great.

On the other ham, I agree that the space chapter tie-ins were pretty confusing! Lucky for me, I hadn’t thought about it for months until just now.

I hear ya, G-unit. It’s just EXHAUSTING. It’s like when i read Batman. MONTH AFTER MONTH he fights criminals! It’s just never ending! Like, hello, where’s the break?!?! Sure, maybe I should just be a reasonable consumer and buy what I want to read and ignore the rest, but I’m too exhausted from all the comic books to even think about that!!!

Seriously, Graeme, do you even like comics, or did you just pick a random hobby that you thought might be fun to complain about?

And on the subject at hand, AvX is a fun and not at all “exhausting” read if you simply read AvX #1-12 and that’s it.

Would be great if the link to Chad Nevett’s post worked.

…like the fact that the lack of direction in the writing makes the whole thing an unappealing clusterf**k and not even really a story with a beginning, middle, and end.
