October marks the spooky month of Halloween - and in the Marvel Universe, there's maybe no scarier idea than being judged by a Celestial who can see all your past deeds. On that note, Marvel Comics has revealed its slate advance solicitations of October tie-ins to the AXE: Judgment Day event crossover.
First off, the month of October is anchored by AXE: Judgment Day #6, which caps off the core event limited series, as well as a tie-in titled AXE: Eternals #1, which digs into Ajak's past with the Celestials. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Along with tie-ins featuring the new Iron Fist Lin Lie and Eros, the Eternal brother of Thanos (played by Harry Styles in The Eternals), the final month of AXE: Judgment Day brings in Carol Danvers in a Captain Marvel #42 tie-in which features Carol and Lauri-Ell the Kree Accuser encountering a mysterious person who appears to be a version of Carol in a Kree uniform.
Then there's Fantastic Four #48 which continues guest creative team David Pepose and Juann Cabal's tale of Sue Storm trapped in the Baxter Building against seemingly impossible odds, against the backdrop of AXE: Judgment Day.
But most of the month's AXE: Judgment Day proceedings are dedicated to the mutants, starting with an AXE: X-Men tie-in exploring the connection between Jean Grey and the Phoenix Force. Then there's Immortal X-Men #7, which puts the spotlight on Nightcrawler, as well as Legion of X #6 in which David Haller faces judgment.
That's followed by X-Men #6 in which the aptly-named Isca the Unbeaten faces losing her position in the leadership of Arakko, and X-Force #33 which caps off Kraven the Hunter's excursion into Krakoa. And finally there's AXE: Death to the Mutants #3, which caps off the limited series.
Here's the list of Marvel's October 2022 AXE: Judgment Day titles organized by release date:
