Avengers vs. X-Men #10

From the way it seems lately Uncanny Avengers will probably be his only Avengers book, since they had begun to pare him down to just one Avengers book before this event and that seems to be the book he'll be in post-AvX. I am doubting that he'll fit into Hickman's plans for Avengers, and New Avengers is said to be something different than what has come before so that probably leaves him out.

Hopefully even if he was suddenly the big guy it's portrayed the way of WATXM, someone who doesn't really fully get it and want to do it but will. Though I do think that Aaron did a good job of maturing Wolverine in his solo run into someone that is more human and has feelings and does want what is best for his fellow mutants, but still does what he does because someone has to and he doesn't want to taint the souls of some others.

But alas we shall see. Just wish it was September so we could learn more about post AVX and reach the darn end already lol. This four week gap is ridiculous.

My hope is in Alex right now. Logan knows he cannot be the full on leader of the X-Men, even Kitty and Beast called him out on that recently. the future of Cyclops and the X-Men is unclear but I don't see Wolverine getting the full reigns either. While I do believe he will get off for his crimes of betrayal in AVX, others like Storm and Alex can come out of Scott's shadow, and I am not saying this to dis Scott but just in general there needed to be a shift in leadership anyway and it seems like they will be making Alex's role bigger which is cool with me.

Reading your comments, it occurred to me that it would be kind of cool if they developed a 'council' to lead the X-men.  With maybe Alex, Storm, Logan, Scott (with maybe a cooldown period before he joins), and Rogue or something on it (are there any other good female leaders in the X-men, I can't remember).  With it explicitly stated that none of them have the authority that Scott had before, that they have to sort of 'vote' on major decisions.  I'm not sure how you could do it, but it might be an interesting change and make sense for a team that has become so large.

Perhaps in hindsight we should have been wary that this event was being written by the flagship writer for Avengers but not by the one for X-Men. Here is the line-up with their current main titles:

Bendis (Avengers)
Fraction (Iron Man)
Brubaker (Captain America)
Hickman (Fantastic Four)
Aaron (Wolverine/Wolverine and the X-Men)

Yeah thats balanced...

still it could be - post AvX - that because of something happening in the end - mutant-numbers, increasing, re-powering?!, m-day?! - that the x-men's-mutant-philosophy could be reversed, we still have no information if there could be some INTERESTING end , even if the event itself was only dreadful (and dreadfully pro-avengers, without any positive evidence there... except a movie's success....).
