Judgement Day is coming to the Marvel Universe this summer in the pages of writer Kieron Gillen and artist Valerio Schiti's A.X.E.: Judgement Day. Now, a first look at covers, interior artwork, and more has been revealed in a special teaser trailer hyping up the highly anticipated event.

It all kicks off in June's A.X.E.: Eve of Judgement #1, a prelude issue where Gillen will team up with artist Pasqual Ferry to present the first shot of the apocalyptic conflict to come. After that, the saga will be told across six explosive issues in A.X.E.: Judgement Day, the main event series launching in July, as well as tie-in issues unleashed across the Marvel Universe. 

The Avengers have become a more powerful global force than ever from their base inside a long-dead Celestial. The X-Men have achieved a form of immortality on their utopian island nation of Krakoa. And the Eternals have begun a new cycle of life as they continue their sworn mission to eliminate the Deviants. But when the Eternals learn that mutantkind itself is a form of excess deviation, a vicious assault on Krakoa ensues - with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes trapped in the middle.

"There's a classic metaphor to describe the Marvel Universe - a toybox, which creators take toys out of, play with and put back. I get it, but it's never quite how I've seen it - I think 'play' in another way. I think of a music shop, with all these instruments with their different qualities suggesting different songs, different stories," Gillen explained.

"For all the Marvel instruments I've played, I've never written an event. Writing an event is something different. It's not like playing an instrument. It's having all the instruments in the Marvel music shop. That's not like writing a song. That's like writing a symphony. I looked at everything in Eternals and Immortal X-Men and everything else all the X and Avengers writers have done and thought... yeah, this is an event. In fact, an event is the only way to do justice to this."

Check out this trailer for A.X.E.: Judgement Day in the player below:

Wanna know how bad eternals was received? They aren't even trying to make the comics look like the movie that just came out. When's the last time that's ever happened?
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 7:24 AM
@Origame - That’s not true at all. Kingo is on that cover only because of the movie, he was never a major Eternal. And Makkari is a black woman now not a white male.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 7:39 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - 1) considering you can't even tell that's him on the cover because he looks nothing like the movie version (literally the point I'm making), do I even need to finish this sentence?

2) now that was one character change done because of the movie, but seriously. Look at this cover. Using only how she looks in the movie, are you really telling me you'd know that's supposed to be her?

3) for not being true "at all", you literally only gave two examples. What about ikaris? Or thena?
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 7:51 AM
@Origame - Ajak is now a woman like in the movie. Sprite is now a girl like in the movie. They just don’t happen to be on the cover. Oh and also Makkari is deaf now. But sure they didn’t change things in the comics to be like the movies because they kept Ikaris a blond and didn’t give Thena a gold costume on this cover. I mean dang they made more and bigger changes to the Eternals than they have to probably any property to correspond with the movies.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 7:58 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - read my comment again. I didn't say "change the comic at all". I said "make the comic look like the movie". None of these characters look like their movie counterparts.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 8:12 AM
@Origame - And when precisely did the comics change the costumes of their characters to fit the movies? Is Star-Lord the beginning and ending of that list? Maybe some supporting characters? It’s just a really really really weak argument to say that they aren’t even trying to make the comics look like the movies just because they retained a lot of their costume elements when they literally changed the races and sexes of characters, made one deaf, and pushed characters like Kingo and Phastos into the forefront all because of the movie. Like you must see how ridiculous that sounds right? Like they don’t draw Thor and Cap to look like the two Chrises.

@TheUnworthyThor - iron man, Spiderman, negasonic teenage warhead, the x men, and yes both captain america and thor have all changed their looks to resemble their film counterparts.

And those are just the ones off the top of my head. I could keep going.

@Origame - here’s another avengers end game was very successful never in comics did captain america have his costume replicate look of it in movie means nothing in comics captain america still wear spandex pirate gloves and boots in movie Kevlar same can be said about ant man and black widow.,

Black widow infinty war when that movie came out she’s blonde in comics black widow remained red head

TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 9:27 AM
@Origame - Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Spider-man in the movies just look like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Spider-man in the comics. How can you even pretend that the costumes in the movies aren’t fairly comic accurate. The X-men!? You mean the Grant Morrison run from two decades ago?? But okay the incredibly minor character of Negasonic Teenage Warhead was redesigned after the movie.

Look if you said the costume design in the movie was so bad and poorly received that the comics didn’t want to take any of it and kept using variations of their previous comic costumes then okay. At least that argument could be made but to make the assertion that movie was so poorly received that they don’t want the characters to look like the characters despite changing races and sexes and the composition of the main roster to correlate with the movie is just silly. Very silly. Now in reality the thing that is throwing everything off is that the makers of the Eternals movie decided to make the movie far less visually accurate to the comics then anything the MCU had really ever done. Thor didn’t need to a radical costume change to look like the movie because the movie mostly looked like the comic. Everyone can look at a Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, or Spider-man comic from before their movies came out and tell that those characters are obviously the same ones from the movies. You can’t really do that with the Eternals. They didn’t make them correspond much. But you can’t say that because the movie had a mixed response that they aren’t doing this or that with the comics, this whole event, putting the Eternals together with the Avengers and the X-men is to correspond with the movie and make them a bigger deal.

@TheUnworthyThor - 1) not just like the comics. Or are you saying cap just conveniently wore a more tactical design for his suit at the same time the mcu was around and their cap had that same concept for its suit.

2) come on dude. Those suits went from the bright and colorful outfits to black leather at the same time as the movies were doing that. And of course it was decades ago. That's when those movies came out. Wtf was the point of saying that?

3) well that's what they did. I would honestly say the eternals were more obscure (or similarly obscure) than the guardians of the galaxy prior to that movie yet they all had redesigns to look like the movie versions.

As for the changes to the characters, my guess is since the movies made such radical changes to the characters the comics had to work on story explanations for those changes, which required stories to explain them and plans for those stories. Then by the time those plans were getting in place eternals was getting it's poor reception they decided to just make those stories but ignore the actual character designs from the film.

It's really not as farfetched as you're making it out to be.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 10:27 AM
@Origame - 1. Minute changes that didn’t always correspond with the movies and the Captain America in that image has none of them.

2. To have to go back 20 years to get a real example is pretty telling.

Obviously those changes had to be planned before the movie came out, they occurred before the movie came out. These costumes they are wearing first appeared before the movie came out. This Judgment Day event was planned before the movie came out. This cover was probably drawn before the movie came out. It takes 6-8 months to produce a comic book. These things are planned out waaaaay in advance. That alone makes it far fetched that the reception of the movie had anything to do with the way the characters look.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 10:43 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - 1) doesn't matter how minute they are if they make them closer to the movies that are out. And yes, that Steve Roger's cap doesn't look like the movies. Probably because there aren't any recent movies or shows with him in them.

2) considering I've provided plenty of recent examples, it's only telling in that this has been a thing in comics for a really long time. Also, if you want a more recent example, that headpiece on the current comic scarlet witch is looking an awful lot like the one at the end of wandavision...

3) so your logic is that they could make these wild changes to the races and genders of these characters, but just aren't even going to bother giving them suits, hairstyles, or even trying to make them look even close to the corresponding actors? And that was all part of the plan?! Like wtf?
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 11:04 AM
@Origame - What current Scarlet Witch comic? Darkhold?

Yes. Because that’s exactly what happened. The Eternals reboot comic came out over a year ago as it was trying to correspond with the movie’s original release date prior to the Covid postponement. They decided apparently long ago to make certain race and sex changes like the movie but not worry about giving Ikaris short brown hair or giving Phastos hair at all. Zuras is front and center and he wasn’t even in the movie. You can try to say they changed this little detail here and there on people’s costumes but they were never going exact replicas and the list is much much longer of the characters that appeared in movies that didn’t change at all in the comics to look like the movie.

@Origame - The new series had started several months before the movie came out and it’s been incredibly well received so I think it just would’ve been jarring to switch up in the middle of that. Also Thanos in the movies was a huge hit but nothing about him in the comics was changed was changed.

comicfan100 - 3/17/2022, 11:37 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - Actually, Iron Man's MCU design was inspired by Adi Granov's Extremis Iron Man run. He's responsible for the Iron Man we see today. But everything else, I pretty much agree with.
SuperBTS
SuperBTS - 3/17/2022, 11:53 AM
@Origame - Changing race, sex, and disability, which they did in the comics
to the Eternals, is far bigger than costumes, which is what you're entire argument falls on. Costumes are so fleeting and we have had multiple changes in those - but innate characteristics? Barely.

Hell, have you even looked at the comic cover above? Thor looks nothing like in the movies. Does that mean he isn't well received in the MCU?
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 1:22 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - no. Trial of magneto.

And yeah. They needed to work because those were big changes they couldn't just start with. But there was no reason to change the costume and looks to the movie because it wasn't out to promote the book. It's out now, yet no change.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 1:22 PM
@OmegaBlack13 - look at comment above.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 1:24 PM
@SuperBTS - 1) my argument has always been about appearance. That's what's going to sell comics.

2) have you seen the Thor comics when a movie came out?
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 3:30 PM
@Origame - Because the movie hasn’t even been out long enough to gauge the response and make changes to the comics yet. It’s absurd that you think in four months time Marvel would say hey pencilers the audience doesn’t like the movie so much so change all the work you have been doing for months on these new costumes based on the movie switch back to the same costumes we’ve been using for the new Eternals comic this past year. And yes I realize this means starting back from scratch on an actually impossible time table. But these characters can’t even look like the movie version. But also keep the movie roster the main roster and keep all those big changes we made. We only want to change some stuff from the movie not everything. Oh and please ignore the fact that we never actually came out with costumes that looked like the movie costumes even for the issue of Eternals that came out the month the movie came out even when we new what the movie costumes looked like for year because we were saving them for an event that’s going to occur half a year after the movie comes out.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 3:39 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - more likely the people in charge of the comics just decided to ignore any movie designs since the film wasn't doing well enough to make it worthwhile, and no one else at marvel cared.

You're acting like this decision can only have come about one way (and of course you choose the most ridiculous option).
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 4:09 PM
@Origame - That doesn’t work. That’s factually wrong. It can’t be the way. You’re like the boy covered in marker saying he didn’t draw on the walls. The timetable does not work. It does not make sense. A comic book has to be completely illustrated before it’s printed, right? Then why did the Eternals comic book that came out the months before, the month during and the month after the movie never have movie inspired costumes? Just answer that question. No one could possibly have known how the movie was doing because the movie hadn’t come out yet. They had to have chosen before any reviews came out, before any box office numbers were reported to not do completely movie inspired costumes.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 4:19 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - dude, just stop. The movie wasn't even guaranteed to be released when it did because they were waiting to see if Shang chi was gonna be a success. They weren't going to do those designs to advertise themselves as being extentions of the movie when the movie wasn't guaranteed to be released. But by now there's no excuse. It's not only been released, it's also been 5 months.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 4:47 PM
@Origame - That’s nonsense. Because first of all like I already said it takes Marvel 6-8 months to produce a comic book. Big events like this are planned a year in advance. This image was probably already penciled before the movie came out.

The new Eternals comic book was released to coincide with the movie, unfortunately Covid came along a pushed the movie back a year but Marvel chose to go ahead and release the comic anyway. Why did Marvel from issue 1 not have costumes like the movie? That comic was conceived and produced to go hand in hand with the movie, but after a year of comics they never chose to change into the movie costumes despite all the other changes they made to coincide with the movie.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 5:00 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - ...they didn't have the costumes because that would do nothing for sales. We've already talked about this.

We've also already established you're a stubborn mcu fanboy who has to argue with any complaint made against the mcu, no matter how factual they are. Just f@#% off.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 3/17/2022, 5:16 PM
@Origame - “they didn't have the costumes because that would do nothing for sales. We've already talked about this.” That sentence negates everything you have been saying all along. The whole theory behind changes to appearance in the comics to align with the movies is to increase sales.

“We've also already established you're a stubborn mcu fanboy who has to argue with any complaint made against the mcu, no matter how factual they are. Just f@#% off.” What kind of nonsense is this!?! What complaint did you even make against the MCU? I never even argued that the movie got a mixed response, I flat out just said it myself. I argued you were wrong because you are because the TIMETABLE DOESN’T WORK. Period. Your wrong. Facts are facts. Eternals could of made ten dollars at the box office and gotten a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and the timetable still wouldn’t have worked out. Because Eternals wasn’t a billion dollar movie do I think down the road maybe the comics won’t push them as much as if the movie had been the biggest of the year? Sure. But these comics’ that were already being conceived, mapped out, written, drawn, edited, inked, colored and lettered appearance has absolutely nothing to do with the reception of the movie because it flat out couldn’t have. It hasn’t been enough time.
Origame
Origame - 3/17/2022, 5:32 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - 1) yeah, and this is a year before the movie came out. Keep up with the point YOU made.

2) this whole thing is effectively you arguing against a basic admittance from marvel that the movie did poorly (and yes, poorly. Not mixed, as you keep trying to say). You've shown time and time again you don't know what you're talking about, including arguing against comics changing costumes to correspond with movies (a trope so common it's clearly industry standard). You also f@#$Ed up the timeline you claim doesn't make sense because you have failed to account for the pandemic pushing the movie back pretty much indefinitely from what we've seen.

Again, f@#$ off.

I am dick of heroes against heroes events.

1. The Eternals will lose, because the X-Men are beloved and the Eternals are not.

2. I bet the info the Eternals get is either wrong or they will see that their mission to kill the Deviants is wrong.

3. The X-Men will probably lose their rebirth protocols because of this.

@MarvelZombie616 - The Eternals will lose because they are trying to KILL the X-Men. Yes, the X-Men are beloved, but even if they weren't they wouldn't have a other team of heroes kill them all oft lol

But, more likely it will be something like you said. Something will happen that will cause the Eternals to change their stance and they won't want to kill the X-Men anymore. They will team up before the end of this to fight a bigger threat. It's how these things go almost 100% of the time.

And I would be perfectly fine with the X-Men losing their rebirth protocols. That was one of thee dumbest things they could have ever added.
