Marvel has released four more teasers this week, adding to the growing list (see "More Marvel Teasers for Summer 2015") of enigmatic hints for its Summer 2015 event(s).
The latest, “Avengers Vs. X-Men,” features art by Skottie Young and references the ‘AVX’ crossover from 2012 (see "'Avengers Vs. X-Men' Finishing Strong").

This “Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows” actually foreshadows a new story, unlike most of the teasers, which have referenced previous summer crossovers. Spidey and Mary Jane got hitched in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 back in 1987. That timeline was later reset in the 2007 storyline Spider-Man: One More Day (see "Press Looks at 'Brand New Day'").
"Future Imperfect" references the 1994 The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect story by Peter David, with art by George Perez, where the Hulk travels to the future, and tangles with "the Maestro," an insane, bizarre incarnation of his future self.
"Age of Apocalypse" references the 1995-1996 crossover storyline that briefly replaces the universe of Earth-616, but was later retconned to have happened in the alternate universe of Earth-295.
Including 'Avengers vs. X-Men'
