"Avengers vs X-Men will be a &amp;quot;revolutionary&amp;quot; event, according to writer Matt Fraction. The scribe told CBR that the crossover series is the &amp;quot;bookend&amp;quot; to a decade worth of stories, and will bring a &amp;quot;satisfying conclusion&amp;quot; to another chapter of Marvel Universe history.   &amp;quot;It looks like we planned it! But I think between smartly leaving seeds for ourselves and keeping an eye on possibilities and leaving doors open, you can link these books together into one massive Marvel story,&amp;quot; Fraction explained. &amp;quot;AvX is a completely satisfying conclusion to all of it somehow. On top of looking amazing and having more gangbuster, over-the-top set pieces as humanly possible, there&amp;#039;s something to be said for a book where you&amp;#039;re getting pages from John Romita, Jr and Olivier Coipel all at once, and it&amp;#039;s clear that they&amp;#039;re trying to outdo each other.&amp;quot; Avengers vs X-Men - a 12-issue bi-weekly series - sees the super-powered teams come to blows following the return of the Phoenix entity. A companion miniseries titled AvX will showcase the event&amp;#039;s individual battles. Marvel has been backing the project with a high-profile marketing campaign, spanning television, radio and online media.  It was recently reported that the first issue has now racked up more preorders than the bestselling Civil War #1. Fraction will share writing duties with Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, Ed Brubaker and Jonathan Hickman. Artwork will be provided by Frank Cho, John Romita Jr, Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert. Avengers vs X-Men #1 is released on April 3. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
