Writer Kieron Gillen and artist Valerio Schiti\u2019s upcoming Marvel Comics epic, A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY, will define the summer and now, Marvel fans can get their first look at covers, interior artwork, and more in a special\u00a0teaser trailer!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F25MA-ces_M?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pieces of the upcoming event will fall into place in June\u2019s A.X.E.: EVE OF JUDGMENT #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.: JUDGMENT DAY, the main event series launching in July, as well as tie-in issues unleashed across the Marvel Universe. An extraordinary odyssey that will leave a profound emotional impact on the Marvel mythology, A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY will tie together radical plot developments from the last few years including the X-Men\u2019s discovery of immortality, the Eternals\u2019 newfound knowledge about their purpose, and the Avengers\u2019 assembling a powerful lineup at their base in the body of a fallen Celestial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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 \u2013 with Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes trapped in the middle. Years of tension lead to a volcanic eruption as two worlds burn!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere&#8217;s a classic metaphor to describe the Marvel Universe &#8211; a toybox, which creators take toys out of, play with and put back. I get it, but it&#8217;s never quite how I&#8217;ve seen it &#8211; I think &#8216;play&#8217; in another way. I think of a music shop, with all these instruments with their different qualities suggesting different songs, different stories,\u201d Gillen explained. \u201cFor all the Marvel instruments I&#8217;ve played, I&#8217;ve never written an event. Writing an event is something different. It&#8217;s not like playing an instrument. It&#8217;s having all the instruments in the Marvel music shop. That&#8217;s not like writing a song. That&#8217;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&#8230; yeah, this is an event. In fact, an event is the only way to do justice to this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out the cover of A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY #1 now, and be sure to pick up FREE COMIC BOOK DAY: AVENGERS\/X-MEN #1 on May 7 for your first taste of the action.
