From holographic rings to fireplace enveloping a automobile crash, the colours sway with the feelings beneath the floor.
With turmoil occurring within the bodily world and the psychic one, the characters catch themselves within the eye of the storm in A.X.E.: Avengers #1. Iron Man bears the brunt of the Celestial’s judgment. Gillen’s plot development right here is nearly subsequent to none. However the essential revelation on the finish evokes hope for the heroes and the viewers. On the finish of the day, A.X.E.: Avengers #1 is a filler problem that does not contribute a lot to the primary story, as Iron Man and his new teammates march deeper and deeper into harmful territory.
