Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia #1

Norman Osborn. The Green Goblin. One of Spider-Man’s greatest foes and a diabolical fiend that rivals the evil of DC Comics’ Lex Luthor.
And Norman be a stormin’ through the Marvel Universe!
Like all great villains, Norman doesn’t see himself as one. He is a benefactor. And after the events of the Civil War that gripped the Marvel Universe, Norman is now in a position of power to shape the course of the United States—and the world. Through machinations of his own making, Norman is now seen as a darling by the media and he uses his new position to form the Dark Avengers to begin destroying the superheroes many people in America have come to fear.
Thus begins Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia #1!
Here is the summary:
The Dark Avengers take on the Uncanny X-Men! Kicking off the 6-part crossover event, rising star Matt Fraction (UNCANNY X-MEN, INVINCIBLE IRON MAN) is joined by X-artist supreme Marc Silvestri (X-MEN: MESSIAH COMPLEX, CIVIL WAR: THE INITIATIVE ONE-SHOT) to bring you a story that shakes the foundations of the Marvel Universe. When mutant riots break out in San Francisco, Norman Osborn declares martial law and sends the Dark Avengers in to quell the riots and take down the X-Men. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Don’t miss the first Avengers/X-Men crossover in over 15 years!
Now, I rarely read comic books anymore. Seen it. Done it. But every once in a while, usually a twice or three times a year, a group of creators come together to tell a story that really peaks my interest.
Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia is one such story.
It features my favorite artist, Marc Silvestri, doing what he does best. He will be doing the artwork for the first and sixth issues of the arc. And the story of Norman Osborn as he goes after the X-Men with the Dark Avengers is just too good to pass up.
