Avengers Academy #38

What happens when the Avengers Academy students square off against the X-Kids on a football field? This 2012 Marvel issue, written by Christos Gage with art by Tom Grummett, sets up a gloriously tense inter-team showdown with cover art by Giuseppe Camuncoli depicting a red-suited Giant-Man and a claws-bared Wolverine facing off on opposite sides of the scrimmage line, while X-23 — holding a football aloft — stands between them as the unlikely referee commanding both sides. Guest-starring Wolverine and the X-Men, "Crosstown Rivals" promises the kind of spirited, colorful clash that makes Avengers Academy such a treat for fans of the era.
