In the move that shocked and saddened comic book fans worldwide, beloved super hero Professor Charles Xavier meets his demise
today in Avengers VS. X-Men #11. In the penultimate chapter of
the biggest comic book story in 2012, superstar creators Brian Michael
Bendis and Olivier Coipel rally the forces of the Marvel Universe
against the final two members of the seemingly all-powerful
Phoenix Five—Cyclops and Emma Frost. But as this epic battle rages,
Cyclops makes a decision that not only takes the life of the man who
formed the X-Men and raised him like a son, but that also may damn both
the Avengers and the X-Men!
“When we first crafted
Avengers VS. X-Men, we didn’t set out to kill any characters but
as the story progressed it became obvious that this had to be the last
stand of Charles Xavier”, said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel
Entertainment. “He’s one of my favorite characters
and while like all fans I’m sad to see him perish, both Brian and
Olivier deliver a powerful, dramatic conclusion to his story. Rest
assured his death will reverberate across the Marvel Universe, leading
into major launches like
Uncanny Avengers and All-New X-Men this fall.”
Then, on October 3rd, the dramatic conclusion to the series arrives in
Avengers VS X-Men #12, as the remaining Marvel super heroes
launch their final assault on the Phoenix Five and the force that
threatens to consume all of reality. Once this battle ends, nothing with
be the same for the Avengers, the X-Men or anyone else
in the Marvel Universe.
