Judgement Day is fast approaching in the Marvel Universe, and this July, the Avengers, Eternals, and X-Men will find themselves in the midst of a major conflict. A.X.E.: Judgement Day is a new crossover event from writer Kieron Gillen and artist Valerio Schiti, and Marvel Comics has now shared some incredible variant covers from the exciting team of artists Lucas Werneck and Ashley Witter.
On these covers, four major female heroes from the event are given the chance to shine:
- Echo – Equipped with unmatched fighting skills, this former street-level hero now burns brightly with the power of the Phoenix Force. But does she have enough control of her new cosmic power to assist her fellow Avengers?
- Thena – One of the Eternals’ fiercest warriors, Thena doesn’t always agree with the ways of her species. Will she fall in line when the Eternals target mutantkind or cause a schism amongst their ranks?
- Jean Grey – A central figure of mutantkind and current co-leader of the X-Men, Jean Grey can always be found on the frontlines of mutantkind’s greatest battles, ready and willing to use her omega-level gifts against any threat to her people.
- Destiny – The recently resurrected former X-Men foe now rules the mutant nation of Krakoa as part of the Quiet Council. Said to be mutantkind’s most powerful clairvoyant, she may know more about the war to come than anyone else...
Kicking off after the Eternals attack mutantkind's new home on Krakoa, A.X.E.: Judgement Day promises to pay off various plot threads that have defined these franchises in recent years including mutantkind’s newfound immortality, the Eternals' discovery of long-hidden truths about their species, and the Avengers dealings with the Celestials. We're intrigued to see where this one goes!
