Now with Guy Gardner's Seal of Approval!
Apparently the Avengers vs the X-Men crossover has begun. Presumably the Avengers will be fighting the X-Men for some reason. This will go on for the next seven or twelve or thirty months or so.

I am a middle-aged suburban housewife with four kids and a husband, two dogs and a cat who has trouble figuring out what the litter box is for. I probably have waaaay too much time on my hands. Actually, in updating this, the cat is gone, and most of the kids have moved out, but we still have all of their stuff, so it is a good thing that we have a big house. Also, I have become a Grandmother!

Well... White Queen, Magneto, Cyclops is holding a piece of the Void... Are you sure they're not fighting villains?
Would fighting evil versions of themselves count?
Ragnell, who the heck knows anymore, with all the reformed or semi-reformed villains now being heroes, or whatever.
Mac, evil twins don't count!
I just want a nice VILLAIN for a change! Count Nefaria, or Thanos, or the Hypno Hustler or something.
When titles get like this, like AVX, all obsessed with their own mythos I flash back to the horrors of the Clone Saga.
I've found the more "underdog" a title is, especially at Marvel, the more likely you are to get some decent villainy. The series marinated in mythos leave me rather cold these days.
Secret Avengers tend towards villain-fighting arcs and if you mention Nefaria because of any sort of affection Moon Knight has been using him to great effect.
Buy Daredevil Sally! He's yet to hit another hero in the series so far. Unless you count wrestling with the Black Cat (Not that kind of wrestling. Well, there was some of that kind of wrestling).
I don't know, the villains are lacking these days. Somewhere I saw the idea that since all hero teams have gotten so huge (practically everyone is an Avenger or on some X-team), if we do see villains, it's these villain armies. And the current writers don't know how to make any of them stand out as fun or interesting amongst the crowd.
I don't think Marvel will really win me back until Cap and Iron Man kick Mark Millar around like soccer ball for mind controlling them for years. As long as he's polluting the House of Ideas, it seems, heroes are not permitted.

I have always love hero on hero action so I am in hog heaven here! Guess I'm another minority now too...
Steve, I don't mind a good inter-hero tussle upon occasion...but I DO like to see an actual villain on occasion.
