There is very little else that I can say about this issue without revealing anything so I will leave you with a few closing thoughts. Characters are breaking down while others stand up. Questions are answered but in their wake they leave even more questions. This is the best written Round of AvX yet. The art is excellent and the pacing the creative team uses is perfect. The best praise I can give is that I am now extremely anxious to read Round 10 in two weeks. Read Full Review

This comic has a great script, fantastic art, and continues what has been a very strong event so far. If the quality stays this high, this very well could be my favourite event of the past decade. Read Full Review

Macro-story issues aside, I do hope that the Big Two take note on this issue, and make more event books read like this. Jason Aaron has taken all of Marvel's biggest characters and really put them into some hot water, all while hooking in jaded readers with some well-placed humanity and tension. It's obvious who the winners of Avengers vs. X-Men are going to be, but if we can really root for somebody in this series " anybody, really " then the readers are going to be who come out on top.

The Avengers now have more support than ever. Unfortunately, Cyclops rips through time and space to get to K'un Lun and take Hope away from Earth's Mightiest Heroes. While most of these issues have ended with cliffhangers, this one seems especially haunting because the writers can't jump forward in time next issue; this is the very moment before a giant brawl that promises to lead into the epic climax.

Now, this was a pretty great issue. I loved seeing Spidey get the spotlight, and he's the kind of character that you believe could trick the amped up brother-sister duo into fighting one another. Also, I was surprised to see T'Challa and Storm's divorce I guess in this issue, that definitely caught me by surprise. I'm wondering if Cyclops is going to have to be the one who stops Emma's rampage or if this inevitably leads to Jean Grey returning to take on a evil, Phoenix-fueled Emma Frost. Either way, this issue built a lot of questions I can't wait to see the answers to. Read Full Review

There is definitely a lot going on now and still no explanation on how this is all linked. Read Full Review

This well-written intense drama will captivate your imagination for the entire 32 pages. I thought the series had reached its bench mark until I grabbed this off the rack. With three chapters left, everyone should be excited to see what happens next. Read Full Review

I know not everybody was crazy about the gimmick of superheroes vs. superheroes (and where are all the villains in the midst of this?) but having followed the X-books for the better part of two years, I can say that so far, the execution of this storyline has been great. Not perfect, but great, and certainly worth reading. Read Full Review

At its best, AvX manages to deliver on all the hype Marvel has placed on it. As we near the finish line, I can only hope that this renewed momentum means the event will remain at its best through the home stretch. Read Full Review

On the down side, this is one of those stories where you can clearly see the creative team pulling your strings - but the story is fun and brings back memories of past heroics, so I'll give it a pass. Good, solid super heroics here. Read Full Review

Adam Kubert really steps up to the plate on the art too, matching the pace inch-for-inch and giving us some glorious splash pages this time around. It's still not perfect, but another three of these and the event will end much better than it started! Read Full Review

The end is near. Based on the cover, it doesn't look good for Spider-Man. There are some changes happening with minor developments popping up but we're still for the inevitable conclusion. Are were simply getting burnt out on these big events? This has all the makings of a epic-type story but it feels too close to other recent comic book 'events.' Things are getting ugly as the Phoenix Force is showing its true colors and we'll have to see who will survive and how the Marvel Universe may possibly be changed. That will be the key to the success of this series, in my opinion. I want something big to happen with lasting repercussions rather than everything return to normal. Jason Aaron's script allows the dialogue to flow smoothly while Adam Kubert's art just looks so dang good. Three more issues to go. Read Full Review

I feel as though I've said this before, but this issue of "Avengers Vs. X-Men" was the most enjoyable to date. Where most event series begin to trend toward predictability in their later issues, this series continues to offer up surprises and twists on traditional or stereotypically predictable plots. The end result is a story that picks up momentum at exactly the right time. There's only a trio of issues left in the main series and while there may be some obvious developments coming up, "Avengers Vs. X-Men" #9 has proven that predictability can be superseded by a fun story. If nothing else, it certainly provides readers with a chance to enjoy a Jason Aaron-written Spider-Man. Read Full Review

Kubert gives us some wonderfully detailed artwork. Jason knows how to use Kubert to his advantage. The scene where Colossus and Emma meet in the desert was just beautiful. Read Full Review

I've been impressed with the execution of the main Avengers Vs. X-Men title, even as I've had some issues with the overall presentation of the crossover. This issue makes up for the frustrations of last, making epic cosmic fighty-fighty feel personal and approachable, and delivering a great sequence for Spider-Man that reminds me of his turn in Uncanny X-Men #190-191 back in the day. (He died in that issue, you might recall.) Avengers Vs. X-Men #9 is the reading equivalent of a Big Mac, with no big surprises, but a nice finish with a crisp hint of pickle, earning 4 out of 5 stars overall. You can (and I have) complained about the overall Avengers Vs. X-Men crossover, but these individual issues are pretty well-done. I'm kind of excited to see where all this sturm and drang is leading us, though... Read Full Review

Avengers vs X-Mencontinues to be on an upswing. With only three issues left, I'm just getting more excited for each issue. Read Full Review

As we have gotten further into the latest Marvel event the better it has gotten. Avengers vs. X-Men #9 is a testament to this improvement from where it started. Jason Aaron is able to build an emotional connection to what is going on in the conflict. By focusing on three key character relationships we are able to see how far the conflict between the Avengers and X-Men has developed. Spider-Man specifically steps up as the star of the show in this issue which put a big smile on this Spider-Man fan. If you stuck with Avengers vs. X-Men this long than you will be happy to know that the event has been getting better and better. I am now even more excited to see how things turn out in the end. Read Full Review

This issue made up for my anger and frustration from last issue. I'm very excited to see what happens next as we get closer and closer to the big climactic finale! Read Full Review

Avengers vs X-Men #9 further cements the successful parts of this event series whileglossingover some of its more problematic moments. The creative team succeeds in giving fans a strong issue that yields an exciting cliffhanger, and despite some minor pacing problems this book still offers more than enough good to warrant a purchase. Recommended. Read Full Review

Once again, Avengers vs. X-Men splits the difference between event-book frustration and doing something new and interesting, which means it's just cool enough to keep us reading, and not going off on endless vitriolic Fear Itself/Flashpoint rants like last year. Read Full Review

Better than anticipated, but way longer than desired, Avengers vs. X-Men isn't a bad crossover. It's just a bit to long of a crossover. Honestly, the best stories involving the conflict aren't to be found in the pages of the main event's title, but rather in the other regular titles like Uncanny X-Men and The Avengers. Even so, I'm more than ready for the ReEvolution of Marvel NOW! to begin. Read Full Review

Kind of a mixed bag of an issue. The scenes with Spider-Man and Emma were very strong, but the earlier portions were a bit dull. Read Full Review

With three more issues, I'm not sure where we're headed at this point. It almost feels like we're sitting waiting and watching everyone get beat up until the end does arrive. Perhaps next issue will deliver something really significant. Read Full Review

Better than the average issue of AVX and has a kick-ass cover by Jim Cheung (you know Spider-Man had a rough day when one of his mask eyes is cracked). Written by Jason Aaron, Brian Michael Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction & Jonathan Hickman. From Marvel Comics. Read Full Review
