AXE: JUDGMENT DAY – Marvel annuncia 3 one-shot dedicati a Iron Man, Jean Grey e Ajak

A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY di Kieron Gillen e Valerio Schiti invaderà l’Universo Marvel a partire dal prossimo mese! Basandosi sui recenti eventi di AVENGERS, X-MEN ed ETERNALS, questo ultimo evento crossover Marvel Comics inizia quando gli Eterni prendono di mira i mutanti e i Vendicatori si trovano a lottare per prevenire una guerra apocalittica tra due delle fazioni più forti del pianeta.

AXE: JUDGMENT DAY sarà un’epopea in sei numeri che si collegherà a varie serie in corso e lancerà nuove serie limitate e one-shot, inclusi i tre scritti dallo stesso Gillen che colmeranno il divario tra il penultimo e l’ultimo numero. In collaborazione con un trio di artisti superstar, Federico Vicentini, Francesco Mobili e Pasqual Ferry, Gillen si concentrerà su un personaggio chiave di ciascuna delle tre fazioni coinvolte in AXE: AVENGERS, AXE: X-MEN e AXE: ETERNALS. Queste questioni essenziali metteranno in luce Iron Man, Jean Grey e Ajak mentre si imbarcano in una missione vitale e complessa per penetrare nel Progenitore Celeste e spegnerlo, affrontando il loro giudizio finale in ogni fase del percorso.

·       A.X.E.: AVENGERS #1 will strip Iron Man of his armor like never before. He’s spent his life building suits to protect him but now Tony Stark has to enter a suit of armor that could kill us all. Can he survive? Can anyone?

·       A.X.E.: X-MEN #1 will examine Jean Grey’s intricate relationship with the Phoenix Force, burning away the mystery behind their connection once and for all. It wasn’t her. It wasn’t her. It wasn’t her. It wasn’t her. It wasn’t her. Yet: “I am fire and life incarnate! Now and forever” Which part of “Now and Forever” is confusing to you? As one world burns, can Jean Grey justify her existence after burning another?

·       A.X.E.: ETERNALS #1 will tackle Ajak’s past decisions regarding the Celestials and how she plans to lead the Eternals through this latest challenge. Ajak has come a long way. She’s met her maker. Hell, she’s made her maker. Now can she – or anyone – survive her maker?

“I wanted Judgment Day to be a huge scale event book, but also really be absolutely about the people in it – that’s Marvel comics to me,” ha dichiarato l’autore . “When we say SUPERHUMAN we mean both SUPER and HUMAN. These specials really drill down on that, giving a deep-dive personal horrorshow for the three sides in the crossover, centered on one of their main players – Tony Stark, Jean Grey and Ajak. With their history, can they really justify themselves? Let’s find out, in this dungeon-delve-as-psychogeography hell trip. Also, all three have AMAZING ART.”

Salvador Larrocca per l’occasione realizzerà una connecting cover, componibile unendo le 3 copertine di questi numeri speciali di A.X.E.: EVE OF JUDGMENT
