The AVENGERS and X-MEN race to find the cosmic entity known as the Phoenix! With sparks flying between the two all-powerful teams, Hope takes matters into her own hands! Will she figure things out before Cap and Wolverine tear each other apart?
It's no longer coming, it's here! Does the return of the Phoenix on Earth signal the rebirth of the mutant species or the end of life as we know it? And when the Avengers and X-Men end up on opposing sides, it means war.
This is it. As the psychic barricades protecting Fortress X crumble and the human militias flock to exterminate all the mutants within, mutantkind makes its last stand...against the anti-mutant forces who would see them wiped out, but also against the one responsible for their plight in the first place. And when the dust settles? No one will be left unscathed.
There's a devil on Robin's shoulder and his name is Nobody! Batman and Robin's relationship gets pushed to the breaking point as Nobody insinuates himself into Damian's life and tries to make him see that Bruce's plan to battle crime is hopeless and only by teaming up and tapping into Damian's killer instinct can they ever hope to rid Gotham City of its evil roots.
