Synopsis
The X-Men have achieved immortality and mutants have taken their place as the dominant species on the planet. The Eternals have discovered long hidden knowledge about their species, including a devastating truth about mutantkind. The Avengers have come into direct conflict with the Celestials and are currently using a fallen Celestial as their base of operations, slowly unlocking its secrets… When the Eternals brazenly target the mutant nation of Krakoa, the Avengers try desperately to de-escalate a potentially apocalyptic war. But this is no simple conflict. The Eternals’ purpose cannot be denied and mutantkind’s future will not be threatened. And after the opening battles, new players and revelations for both sides will emerge as the inhabitants of the Marvel Universe are JUDGED by the greatest power they’ve ever come into contact with.

Notes
- A.X.E.: Avengers #1, A.X.E.: X-Men #1, and A.X.E.: Eternals #1 are "story-critical" tie-ins that bridge the main issues #5 and #6. According to Tom Brevoort, they are essentially 5a, 5b, and 5c. The reason why they are not in the main series is because the artist, Valerio Schiti, became a father at around that time; the three one-shots, drawn by different artists, are a way to get the story content out without overworking Valerio.[4]
