When the announcement came this week about 2012's huge Marvel event, many of us were feeling the "it's been done before" vibe. I'll expand on that train of thought more as the weeks and months progress leading up to X-Men Vs. Avengers.

For today, though, my sympathy is lying with Wolverine, who once again is caught in the middle.

On the other side, this is exactly the reason why you should only be a member of one super team at a time: You never know when theyíre going to slug it out in an attempt to boost sales.

Today's page was done by Rantz Hoseley:

Rantz Hoseley is a caffeine-swilling, profanity-spewing force of dark comic matter who's been kicking around the comic industry since 1987. Having worked on everything from Phil Foglio's "XXXenophile" to the OGN adaptation of Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad," he was nominated in 2009 for the British Fantasy Award (which he didn't win) The Eisner Award (which he did win), and the Harvey Award (also a win) for "Comic Book Tattoo." For the last three years, Rantz has been working in the world of digital comics, & the "evolution of narratives in digital entertainment" with his company LongBox, Inc.  Because he's a firm believer in the powers of caffeine and scoffs at the notion that human beings need sleep, he's also working on an OGN called "LIFT," about a little-known skunkworks project at NASA in the 1950s.

Have a great weekend, folks, and we'll see you right back here on Monday.
