“There’s a classic metaphor for describing the Marvel Universe – a toy box where creators get toys out of them, play with them, and put them back,” Gillen added. “I understand, but it’s never quite the way I saw it – I think I ‘play’ differently. I think of a music store, with all these instruments with different qualities, offering different songs, different stories. The Marvel instruments I played, I never wrote events. Writing events is something else. It’s not the same as playing an instrument. This is to have all the instruments in the Marvel Music Store. symphony. I looked at everything in The Eternals and Immortal X-Men and everything else that all the writers of X and The Avengers did, and I thought… yes, this is an event. In fact, the event is the only way to do justice to it.”
AX: Eve of Justice #1 was created by writer Kieron Gillen, artist Pascual Ferri and cover artist Carlos Pacheco. The issue comes out June 29 by Marvel Comics. AX: Judgment Day #1 was created by writer Kieron Gillen, artist Valerio Schiti, and cover artist Mark Brooks. The issue comes out in July.
