AEX: Judgment Day - summer 2022

[PhoenixThanos]

Has it been announced if Judgement Day (AXE) is a stand alone series ?, how many issues ? or does it also play out in pages of the regular series of the Avengers, the X-Men and the Eternals ?.

It's definitely a stand-alone series (written by one writer and drawn by one artist), but likely with a lot of tie-ins, in the tradition of Marvel's big summer event.

Nothing is known about the number of issues yet

Seeing a non-mutant Phoenix still makes me sad.

And with Jean just there in the same page lol. I hope they don’t interact.

These are my thoughts as well. Standard procedure.

They have to interact. It would be a missed opportunity if they don't. In these events there are a lot of background characters. They only focus on a few, and Echo might not make their cut.

[Phoenixx9]

Exactly. Jean will rip the Bird away from Echo.

I just don’t have high hopes for an interaction between them about Phoenix, because it has to follow the current Post-Resurrection take, that Phoenix is like an abusive toxic partner to Jean and that’s not something I agree with. But well, we will see.

Me to. Sad that the current writer is soooo creative he randomly eFFed up and dumbed down the PF lol

Will Thanos be the big bad they all face at the series' end, Thanos is Prime Eternal afterall.

Yeah that's what I'm guessing as well

lol omg Mutants are actually Deviants

To be fair Druig is a liar and current is the lapdog of Thanos I'd hardly trust sh!t he says

Good. It failed too many times in the X-Movies and IF it happens I wouldn't mind MCU using it to propel Echo to the wider audience.

You mean in that one movie? lol

Exactly. Jean will rip the Bird away from Echo.

lol on can only hope

Well if non mutatn can because phoenix host, is only fair that mutants should play with Galactus or Captajn Universe(for the latter we have precedents. Laura was Captain Universe host in past).
But why not Emma Frost herald of Galactus? She fit the bill, and would be an unusual Herald at least.

Just to copy my own post from a similar discussion in the X-Books board:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a Marvel Summer Event, not just an X-Books crossover like Hellfire Gala or X of Swords, so it's a bit different.
The standard way Marvel does these events now is with a standalone event miniseries, accompanied by tie-in issues from regular ongoing books for readers who want the 'more complete' story.

Regarding number of issues, I think Marvel has revamped how long their events were after Secret Empire, which they had a lot of trouble with because they had to keep adding issues.
If we look at previous Marvel events (published post-Secret Empire):
Infinity Wars - 6 issues + 1 epilogue issue
War of the Realms - 6 issues + 1 epilogue issue
Empyre - 6 issues + 2 epilogue issues
King in Black - 5 issues
Heroes Reborn - 8 issues
Devil's Reign - 6 issues + 1 epilogue issue

So my guess is that Judgment Day would be around 6 to 8 issues, starting in July and wrapping up by September/October.

Regarding tie-in issues, the article seems to suggest that Eternals, X-Men, Immortal X-Men and Avengers will tie into Judgment Day.
Eternals and IXM are Gillen's books. X-Men is Gerry Duggan's and Avengers is Jason Aaron's.

I would normally say that Al Ewing would definitely tie into this with X-Men Red, but per his recent interview I think his outlook towards event tie-ins has changed drastically so I'm not so sure anymore.
Still, Storm, Magneto and Cable are on the Dustin Weaver teaser so I'm sure X-Men Red will have some presence.

It will be easy too. We all know white people excel at taking things from Native Americans.

Quoted for truth.

You mean that ONE movie that barely borrows like, two panels? from the original story

Fox failed it twice. In X-3 and Dark Phoenix.

Noooo. That is not what I meant!
