Simon Trask and his Humanity Now organization march on San Francisco to protest the freedom mutants have to breed and multiply. Trask goads some of the young mutants into attacking his people and all hell breaks loose. Cyclops tries to quell the unrest but things continue to get out of control as mutants and humans clash. Norman Osborn sends the Dark Avengers to put the mutants down. Norman meets with Emma and shows her his new vision for the X-Men. Norman tries to have Cyclops arrested as the mutant ringleader but Scott runs, just as Xavier shows up and denounces all of his former students.
Publisher’s description
The Dark Avengers take on the Uncanny X-Men! Kicking off the 6-part crossover event, rising star Matt Fraction (Uncanny X-Men, Invindible Iron Man) is joined by X-artist supreme Marc Silvestri (X-Men: Messiah Complex, Civil War: The Initiative One-Shot) to bring you a story that shakes the foundations of the Marvel Universe. When mutant riots break out in San Francisco, Norman Osborn declares martial law and sends the Dark Avengers in to quell the riots and take down the X-Men. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Don't miss the first Avengers/X-Men crossover in over 15 years!
