SDCC 2014: Marvel: Avengers & X-Men AXIS Panel

Come see what was revealed in Marvel's AXIS event!

Marvel's next big event is quickly approaching and the publisher spent some time to chat about it at San Diego Comic-Con. Editor-in-chief Axel Alonso, executive editor Mike Marts, senior editor Nick Lowe, writer Rick Remender and editor Jordan D. White took to the stage to speak about what the House of Ideas has in store for us with AXIS.

No Caption Provided
  • Regarding ALL-NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA: Remender says he loves writing Steve Rogers, but writing Sam Wilson will be fun because he doesn't have the same degree of rigidness and Sam will learn to wield the shield. Hydra will be a bigger threat than ever before (hail Hydra).
  • AVENGERS: RAGE OF ULTRON OGN announced. In continuity. By Remender, Jerome Opena, and Dean White. April 2015. Remender says they wanted to make something "that feels like THE KILLING JOKE." It's the evolution of Ultron. Will set things up and have a "whole new status quo" at the end. Says Starfox will play a big role and will get everyone to love the character.
  • CAP #23,24,25 to focus heavily on Zola and the Red Skull.
  • UNCANNY AVENGERS to show Red Skull accomplishing what he wants to and leads into AXIS
  • Magneto will play a "really big role" in AXIS. Key moments for AXIS in MAGNETO #9.
  • Trying to hold back a lot regarding chapter two of AXIS because they recognize too often things are spoiled in solicits/previews.
  • Shown Adam Kubert page of Plantman, new Cap flying and the Vision.
  • Vision to play a "huge role" in the OGN. Remender says he'll really shine.
  • Panel says they can't discuss AXIS CARNAGE and AXIS HOBGOBLIN because of spoilers but say we need to trust them that they'll be worth reading. However, did say Spidey fans should definitely pick up HOBGOBLIN.
  • Remender says he's a huge fan of Cullen Bunn's MAGNETO, recommends people to go back to issue #1 and catch up. Says there's a big Magneto and Red Skull conflict coming up, added there's so many contextual reasons for them to hate each other.
  • Showed more AXIS tie-in covers: MAGNETO #11, LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD #7,ALL-NEW X-FACTOR #15.
  • Remender says he's a big X-Men fan and they'll play a big role. Hinted the return of a villain that hasn't been around.
  • Remender also says there's a "big Loki moment, unlike anything you've seen before."
  • "Definitely some plans in place" when asked about young Avengers and X-Men. Lowe says "there's some cool things on the horizon."

AXIS will begin this October.

Remender says...

I say Remender better not write anything, really. After what he's done to Cap series, I'm far from being thrilled knowing he's the leading writer of the AXIS event.

I'm curious about how the Young Avengers will interact with the X-Men. Prodigy returning to the school in some capacity would be nice. Remender best have Magneto winning the day against Red Skull. I won't accept anything but that outcome.

@br_havoc:

Agreed, his Cap run hasn't been very good. His other works are pretty good, but I hope he isn't Marvel's lead writer this year. There are plenty of other writers I'd rather see tackle big events.

Also, like Winter_Kills said above me, it doesn't seem right with Skull and Steve not being Cap, so I think I'll skip this event.

Yeah skipping this event. Not really happy to see Remender looks to be lead writer this year. I really hope he leaves Captain America after the upcoming switch up is done.

AMEN. That really takes my interest away as well. No Steve as Cap against the Skull? In a big event where the Skull(Or OnSkull) is the main villain? No thanks. And I hope that the "big Loki moment" is a good one- I don't want to see him getting mishandled like Cap or Thor.

I'm actually pretty stoked about Rage of Ultron, Ultron going to Titan to mess around with Thanos sounds amazing.

What do you guys think is it about spoilers that they're "holding back"? Could it be the stuff I read on Bleedingcool about (read at your own risk, in case this happens to be true) good guys turning evil and villains turning good?

if that is the case it probably is some sort of mind manipulation on Red Skulls part, seeing as he has Prof. X's mind.

Onslaught Red Skull is still one of the dumbest ideas in all of Marvel from the last few years.

All of his actions were divinity form logic. I always thought his coldness made him such a scary enemy.

Rage of Ultron peaks my interest.... does he have emotions now? I think that kind of ruins him.

I can still VIVIDLY remember how mad comic readers were at the onslaught event in the 1990s. Alot of us stopped reading Marvel after it happened. I really hope onslaughts evolvement ends at just the armor and not the person. I really don't want a repeat of that garbage...

Despite their reassurances it still seems like the X-Men are getting the shaft for this event. Hopefully the event itself proves me wrong.

Its frustrating so soon after Age of Ultron that the villain is coming back, but I guess nobody liked that event.

I'm looking forward to this event. I LOVE Rick Remender's stuff from Uncanny X-Force & Uncanny Avengers. I haven't read his Cap stuff yet. I tend to look forward to events that come out of series I have been really enjoying like Trinity War, Forever Evil. I really want to see Magneto kick Red Skull's butt in Axis.

Magneto has been a fantastic series so far. I didn't like what Bunn did while on Wolverine but I guess sometimes it just takes the right character/writer match. Magneto vs. Red Skull is exciting to say the least. AXIS looks like it could be a cool event.

Glad to hear that Magneto is getting his due. I was initially somewhat skeptical of the event because the solicit for the new "X-men / Avengers" event only shows one real X-man (Storm) and a bunch of Avengers. I was really hoping that it would include Cyclops' team.
