I’m calling it right now–there will eventually be a reference to the group of hosts chosen by The Phoenix in yesterday’s Avengers vs. X-Men #5 as “The Phoenix Force,” if not a miniseries or attempt at an ongoing, a la the Infinity Watch that sprung forth from The Infinity Gauntlet.At any rate, Marvel Comics has made available a three-page preview of next month’s issue, as well as the cover from the issue which was–for obvious reasons–previously kept under wraps.With the status-quo altering events of yesterday’s issues in the rear view mirror, how will it affect the rest of the story of Avengers vs. X-Men? And how will the Phoenix Force work, now that it has more than one host? Will it mean a more stable and controlled Phoenix Force or just five people running around, out of control and seething with power?Check out the solicitation text below and the images throughout the story for more. Avengers vs. X-Men #6 goes on sale July 4 (although the U.S. Independence Day holiday may cause late shipments in some areas–consult your retailer).
