Marvel is definitely pushing the quick release aspect of their fall event with Avengers & X-Men: AXIS as they’ve now got a preview out of the third issue that arrives on October 22nd, 2014. That issue has a few pages available to check out as well as the main cover by Jim Cheung and the variant covers by Humberto Ramos and Nick Bradshow. The series is being written by Rick Rememder while interior artwork is being handled by Leinil Yu.
Plot concept: Though they now stand united against a common foe, their fragile alliance is not enough to stem the darkness. Coupled with the powers of Charles Xavier, the Red Skull’s terror knows no bounds. Battered and broken, the few surviving heroes must put their faith in unlikely allies, and give rise to the most vile syndicate known to man. Can the Red Skull be defeated? And at what cost? Would you destroy the Red Skull if it meant losing the very last piece of Charles Xavier?
As one of the last remaining heroes, the Scarlet Witch is forced to join forces with Dr. Doom – the man who twisted and abused her power to cause M-Day. If she can’t, she’ll have to watch those she loves most die. And a twist of fate will return one of the Marvel Universe’s greatest villains from beyond.
The world as we know it is gone. The Inversion is here.
