Schedeen gave issue #2 a 7.8, writing "The second chapter of "AvX: Consequences" narrows the focus and picks up dramatic steam". Schedeen gave issue #3 a 7.2, surmising "AvX: Consequences #3 loses a bit of its focus but remains a compelling read for X-Men fans". Schedeen gave issue #4 an 8.3 critiquing "if unfocused, "AvX: Consequences" #4 is still an enjoyable read with some great visuals". Schedeen gave issue #5 a 7.0, stating "Though visually weak, the final issue of AvX: Consequences delivers a memorable finish to Cyclops' struggle". "Avengers vs. X-Men" dominated the sales charts in its first months of release, and was only beaten to the #1 spot by "The Walking Dead" #100 in July 2012, and "Uncanny Avengers" #1 in October 2012. In Marvelous Meadows, as baby Steve Roger says good night to all of his teddy bears, he notices that baby Scott Summers from across the street has taken Bucky Bear. In response, Baby Steve assembles his fellow Avengers while Baby Scott brings together his team of X-Babies and the two teams fight in the middle of the street. After a series of turnovers, the Phoenix appears and demands that Baby Scott return Bucky Bear to Baby Steve. When he refuses, the Phoenix causes a giant explosion. The next morning, Baby Steve's parents find him sleeping peacefully with Bucky Bear, except now there is a giant hole in his room and a crater in the middle of the street. As the Phoenix Force heads towards Earth, the Guardians of the Galaxy manage to send a warning before they are destroyed by it. Having received the warning, The Avengers send a team into space as a first line of defense, while others go to Utopia to take Hope Summers, the intended host of the Phoenix Force, into custody. Upon arrival, Magneto, Hope, Namor and Storm discuss the situation with the Avengers. After a heated exchange, Wolverine attacks Namor and fatally injures Storm in the process. In retaliation, Magneto brings down the Avengers helicarrier. As the helicarrier falls, Hope, Magneto and Emma Frost leave to intercept the Phoenix Force on the Moon. In space, Thor manages to wound the Phoenix Force and it offers the remaining Avengers its gift but then senses Hope and merges with her instead, transforming Hope into Phoenix.
