Vilanova delivers some beautiful art throughout the issue. The characters look fantastic and the action is visually thrilling throughout. Read Full Review

Gillen gives us more meat for the rest of the main story, and gives us the whereabouts of the missing Eternals who are running a black ops mission to undermine Druigs war against the excessive deviation! I mean mutants, and Villanovas giving us the grit this war needs with his exaggerated style. Plus his Kro is the best Kro Ive seen since the relaunch. Read Full Review

What helps the story in Death to the Mutants is it comes from Judgment Day writer Kieron Gillen, so everything is connected. Guiu Vilanova's art is more refined here than in previous fill-in spots on Eternals, which is probably helped by the colors of the late Dijjo Lima. Read Full Review

A.X.E.: Death to The Mutants #1turns its focus to the Eternals who have rebelled against their mutant-killing mission, offering more profound meditations on belief and top-notch action. Gillen is working hard to make this a comic book crossover that stands out from the pack, and so far he's succeeding. Read Full Review

A.X.E.: Death to the Mutants #1 is ok. It adds in details from the main event but that's the entire draw of the issue. It feels like it should have been a part of the main series but the flow wouldn't work combining everything. As is, you're left with a comic that acts more like an addendum than a story on its own. It doesn't work without all of the other issues released while those are fine without this. It's a comic that feels like it's the "director's cut that adds some context but overall it'll be mixed as to whether it really enhances the experience. Read Full Review

The events taking place in A.X.E.: Death to the Mutants are important to the larger story, but there isn't quite enough here to warrant a purchase unless you're a die-hard Eternals fan. As it stands, it's a so-so tie-in that could have used more mutants, more action, and more things for these characters to do. At best, this issue feels like a decent backup story rather than a full issue adventure. Read Full Review

This is essentially what the main Eternals title would have become if it weren't ended at twelve issues. The whole AXE event is much bigger than the Eternals title was, and I'm glad to see our main Eternals team still have a place, and play a major role. If you had been reading Eternals, if you have been enjoying AXE, this is going to be an very enjoyable tie-in.

Nice issue, gives good backstory to the events of AXE. I like the style of the art, but Villanova could do a bit of work on faces sometimes, it is not as good as a Ribic that thst can be forgiven (though the faces are definitely better than Ribics).

This one movies fast but is a pretty important read.

It signifies a shift in the goals of the main eternals and what they realize must happen. And that has potential consequences for the MU.

Im very interested to see how thus event plays out.

This expands on a few points already hinted at and foreshadows some developments still to come. The added detail and texture is appreciated. But the storytelling work (particularly the art) is rougher than the event's main issues; this is not so much "Judgment Day #1.5" as it is "Appendix A."

Heh, not that good. It's confusing at times and too plot convenient (Druig is a giant idiot!). Also, reading a Fortnite's reference in a X-Men comic is just... No. But it's ok and it gives us some other explanations for the Eternals' motivations.

This felt a little unnecessary

The art is alright.
And pacing wise, this one is all over the place.
Considering how good the main event is, I wish some of the important material here was just added in extra pages to Judgement Day #2 and have that issue be bigger and more expensive.
The narration in this one just isn't as good but this is the most interesting The Eternals have been in a while, so that's a plus.
