5. Avengers: Bloodties
Included Titles: Avengers # 368-369, X-Men # 26, Avengers West Coast # 101, and Uncanny X-Men # 307
I don’t understand any of this. This is about as late-nineties as it could possibly get. It’s the X-Men Blue and Gold teams (the originals not the recent ones) alongside the just-pre-Heroes Reborn Avengers and the last days of the West Coast Avengers. And they fight over Genosha. Remember Genosha? Weird X-Men mutant island that Grant Morrison annihilated?
It’s still a thing here. And it combines the most annoying X-Men bureaucracy minutiae of Genosha with the most annoying Avengers bureaucracy minutiae of their U.N. supervision. It’s like if a headache came to life.
Long-term effects: I had to actually look this up because I couldn’t remember any. But it turns out this was the end of the Avengers’s U.N. period, so that’s a thing.
