• Spider-Man and Beast fight zombies in a story by Kaare Andrews (AVX: VERSUS)!

Which is all very well, except that the Spider-Man/Beast story didn't appear. Instead we got a Chris Bachalo written/drawn Rogue and Black Widow story. And very good it was too. We also had Mike Del Mundo solo drawing David's Iron Man/Kitty Pryde strip.

The Rogue/Black Widow story was brought forward from A+X #3, originally solicited thus;

But no cover to be seen. Could the Kaare Andrews Wolverine/Spider-Man strip be returning? Even though it won't be Superior Spider-Man? Or maybe… it will be now?
