The first shot has been fired! Earth's Mightiest Heroes take on Marvel's Merry Mutants this April and here we have the first seven pages preview of the much-anticipated Avengers vs. X-Men.

We have earlier covered the "match card" of "Round One" of the much-anticipated superhero all-stars slugfest, Avengers vs. X-Men, a bi-weekly 12-issues series that pit the Mighty Avengers against the Uncanny X-Men.

Ahead of the series' release in April, Marvel has released a preview into the first seven pages of issue #1 that set the stages for the House of Ideas' big Summer event. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by John Romita Jr., and cover art by Jim Cheung, check out the preview right after the official solicitation information of the issue:
