Original Sin is just about over… which means it’s time for another Marvel crossover event! Aside from The Death of Wolverine, which is also going on.
Avengers & X-Men: Axis is the culmination of a two year story in Rick Remender’s Uncanny Avengers. The Red Skull stole the brain of the late Charles Xavier and now he has all of Professor X’s powers. Of course, no one seems to have called out the Mutant hating Red Skull for essentially becoming a Mutant himself. But whatever…
As the Red Skull transforms into the Red Onslaught, the Avengers and the X-Men will have to unite once again to stop him. But first, they’ll have to deal with the threat of… Plant-Man? And in this first look at Avengers & X-Men: Axis # 1 from Marvel, we see members of the Avengers Unity Squad joining the main team in battle as Plant-Man overruns New York City.
Judging by the inked pages Adam Kubert, I’m guessing that the colored Axis pages aren’t ready to be seen just yet. In addition to Kubert, Remender will be joined in future issues of Axis by Terry Dodson, Leinil Yu and Jim Cheung.
Avengers & X-Men: Axis # 1 hits comic stores on Wednesday, October 8.
