Avengers Vs. X-Men #11: Spoiler Dies

The news came across my desk yesterday afternoon, but we didn’t spoil it.

Now it doesn’t matter as Marvel released the news about the death in today’s Avengers Vs. X-Men #11 themselves earlier today.

What happens is Cyclops kills Professor X.

Brian Michael Bendis wrote the issue and spoke with Marvel.com about it.

Knowing what my plans were post AvX [with ALL-NEW X-MEN], the death of Charles Xavier made every scene I have coming up for the next year more passionate, more interesting and more controversial. I was very happy that we voted to whack the man.

A small group of us getting together to decide to murder Charles Xavier is all sounding very Godfather-ish. [Laughs]

By our count this is at least the third time Professor X has “died.”

So how long before he comes back?!
