RATED T+
A.X.E.: Judgment Day #2 is a wonderfully paced action comic that completely changes the tenor of this event by the end. Gillen, Schiti, and Gracia do a bang up job. This events first issue was brilliant, and this one is somehow better than that, which speaks to just how well this creative team is doing. Read Full Review
A.X.E.: Judgement Day #2is the comic book equivalent of a blockbuster with brains, as it continues to flesh out the conflict between the three factions. Now that the meaning behind the series title is revealed, the Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals have entered an entirely new conflict - and the rest of the Marvel Universe may pay the price.

If you were on the fence,A.X.E.: Judgment Day#2 inspires with its layers of action and intrigue, delivering a comic all events should aspire to. You'll be swept up in the forward-moving narrative and thrilled by the impressive art and action. Read Full Review
Schiti delivers some blistering visuals throughout the issue. The art is bright, detailed and exciting throughout. Read Full Review
Kieron Gillen and Valerio Schiti are giving us a popcorn big blockbuster with this mini, but theres a little hiccups that detract from the rest of the story. It kinda feels like Marvel should have tapped Al Ewing to co-plot this event. Even with these critiques, its still nice to see the Eternals elevated status in the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
The series is turn on its head in this issue. It's a fun story, it looks great, and the twist on the final page promises to turn this already excellent event into something wholly unique. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
A.X.E.: Judgment Day #2 builds on the first issue with a new wave of attacks against Krakoa on a massive scale. The art and action are all great, and except for pacing speedbumps in the first and second act, the issue does exactly what it needs to unleash the dogs of war. Read Full Review
A.X.E.: Judgement Day #2 is a solid second issue with an ending that really shakes up the event. It sends it in an unexpected direction but one that makes sense based on the title. Where it takes things overall, who knows, but so far, this might be Marvel's best major event in years. Read Full Review
There is no time to rest in A.X.E.: Judgment Day #2 as Druig's set The Hex to take out the mutants once and for all. This led to an action heavy second chapter to A.X.E.: Judgment Day that is a real showcase of the talents of Valerio Schiti and Marte Gracia. The different plot elements Kieron Gillen develops gets us to where we need to get to so this event truly involves the entire Marvel Universe not just one group. If things keep going this way A.X.E.: Judgment Day could very well be one of the best Marvel events we've had in quite some time. Read Full Review
All of the tie-ins for Judgment Day have related to a very specific event in the first issue and the reason for this slow acceleration becomes abundantly clear this week when the real stakes of the event are revealed. The final few pages alone reignite any diminished interest caused by the first issue's familiar stakes; what happens here will leave readers with plenty to consider and opens the door for an event far different than what many of us have grown cynical over.

I think Gillen has an interesting opportunity here, reflecting on current events through super-fantastical cosmic shenanigans in an otherwise superfluous comic book crossover. Read Full Review
A.X.E. JUDGMENT DAY #2 continues exactly where issue one left off, provides little growth until the final page reveals, and clutters the comic with heavy dialogue and gaudy page design. Read Full Review
This is the exact follow up I wanted.
The pacing of this event has been great for me.
Best action for me from Gillen since Eternals 9.
Brilliant story brilliant artwork and brilliant writing. This story is simply phenomenal! I have enjoyed every panel. It's such a fantastic time to be a comic book fan the depth of some of these stories and the talent of some of these artist and writers is mind-blowing. Kieron Gillen is one of the super star writers he continues to write amazing stories with tons of depth emotion and substance.
Man, this is just perfect. We cant even understand how good this event is. Characters, good, perfect time for dialogue, explication, cool phrases in the battle, and action. The way that Gillen is moving the plot is fantastic, he's a master of the script. Even the Hex are good characters, the narrator, just... Everything. This is a masterpiece compared to dark crisis. When I'm reading dark crisis, I feel that nothing is happening, and even less something important or in a big scale. Mean while, in this issue, god, in every page, in every panel, everyone is doing something, and most of the times, is something very important for all of the world. This feels like an event, and has the greatness of one. If Gillen keep working like this, this cou more
This issue expertly builds towards a twist at the end that I really, really don't want to spoil. It's so well done and it really hyped me up for this event that I was already pretty hyped up for. It works as well as the final twist of Gillen's first Eternals arc did, but there is a distinction here. We should've all seen this twist coming, and the fact that we didn't is really impressive. The art is great, of course. Schiti kills it as always. The only downside to this issue is that there is a moment around the halfway point where I feel that the narration briefly loses the reader, because it is (I'm assuming) setting up tie-ins. I don't know, I haven't read any of the tie-ins yet, but that's what it felt like. The problem isn't the set up, more
I'm just about as pleased as can be with the way this is developing. Not much character work, but of course, that's normal for a Big Dumb Event™. Instead, we get the right substitute: Amazing high-stakes plot twists. The way this story develops is simultaneously rational and surprising.
The art looks good, but I think the action could be clearer and the characters could be more consistent.
Tony Stark's pals should just knock him unconscious as soon as they suspect a Big Dumb Event™ is starting. Seems like he paves a good-intentions road straight to hell in every one, doesn't it?
A fantastic read that propels the event up even further in interesting ways, its crazy to think that this event is just starting.
But it's clear that the X-Men writing team at Marvel have some big plans and they want to play with big ideas. The pace of this thing is X-CELLENT.
Particularly love the inclusion of everyday humans.
Though, I'm still missing character development for The Five...
"You are all important." chills...
My emotions are in flux: I love this so much, but I'm so pissed that DC is incapable of driving their events remotely in the right direction (this direction). I know I shouldn't be comparing, but Dark Crisis is hot shit compared to this. This is only on #2 with two tie-ins has ten times the amount of plot that Dark Crisis has.
This book balances the quiet moments with the bombastic action so unbelievably well. Marvel is currently writing the master-class on line-wide events this summer. Kieron Gillen is the truth!
Pick Up This Book!
I was like "ok, good issue but nothing memorable"... Then came the last page. Holy fucking shit.
Two issues in and Judgment Day is firing on all cylinders. The groundwork, laid primarily by Gillen, has really paid off in an organic way here as we have a conflict between groups that actually makes some amount of sense.
Enjoyable event so far with many predictable and not so predictable moments. Gillen is good at this and I like his take on this world. This event also benefits from Immortal and Red being great setup and expanding issues. There is way too much going on here and I suspect the avalanche of tie-ins incoming will expand on those angles. I do want to explore them but can't follow them all since I can't print money or have any more space for useless books. Schiti and Gracia on art make it all look and work well too.
It was a little jumbled when it came to the action scenes. The parts that shined though, really did. Very enjoyable, and really has me excited for the next issue.
This was a pretty good issue with a lot of stuff happening. It may be oberwhelming but so far i am digging it
This one is not nearly as good as the first. I hope this is not a downhill trend. It starts with a bunch of people's views of mutants (mirroring present times). Then there's a battle where the battle creates a title wave that the characters say that thousands of people will be killed by it. Then they forget about it completely. So, we can only assume that those people were all killed, since there are no characters outside of Storm that could have calmed the waves. Then we get to the end where they raise the god who is going to judge them all. Whatever. At issue 2 I'm already over this story.
