This week the events of A.X.E. Judgement Day continue to be felt throughout the Mutant corner of the Marvel Universe in A.X.E.: X-MEN #1 and X-MEN RED #7, and a new story arc kicks off in MARAUDERS #7.
A.X.E.: X-MEN #1
Kieron Gillen and Valerio Schiti’s A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY has engulfed the Marvel Universe with the Eternals targeting mutantkind and the Avengers find themselves struggling to prevent an apocalyptic war between two of the strongest factions on the planet.
A.X.E.: X-MEN #1 is the second of three one-shots bridging the gap between the penultimate and final issue. Teaming up with a superstar trio of artists, Federico Vicentini, Francesco Mobili, and Pasqual Ferry, Gillen will focus on a key character from each of the three involved factions in A.X.E.: AVENGERS, A.X.E.: X-MEN, and A.X.E.: ETERNALS.
These essential issues will spotlight Iron Man, Jean Grey, and Ajak as they embark on a vital and complex mission to penetrate the Progenitor Celestial and shut it down, facing their ultimate judgment every step of the way.
