This summer, the Marvel Universe will be judged by a power greater than anything they’ve encountered before in A.X.E.: Judgement Day, the latest Marvel Comics crossover event.
Written by Kieron Gillen with artwork by Valerio Schiti, the story will find the Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals embroiled in a deadly conflict. Kicking off after the Eternals attack mutantkind's new home on Krakoa, the event 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 intense dealings with the Celestials.
The first two issues go on sale in July, and in those, it appears a new Celestial will rise to cast judgement on Earth if the cover art below is any indication. The X-Men claim they’re the planets’ new gods, the Eternals know that position is already filled, and the Avengers are about to realize exactly how many secrets their so-called friends have kept from them.
Gillen will also team up with artist Guiu Vilanova to explore the root of the Eternals' fury against mutantkind and the schism it’s causing in their society in a three-issue limited series beginning in July titled A.X.E.: Death to the Mutants. The mutants are Deviants, Eternals are coded to correct excess deviation, and while they don't want to kill the mutants, they may not have a choice.
