Comic events: fun storytelling or marketing stunt?
We’ve had multiple crises, secret wars, and more from Marvel and DC over the years. Currently DC is in the midst of the crisis of the half-decade with Joshua Williamson’s Dark Crisis. And over at Marvel, Kieron Gillen is penning an almost line-wide event drawing in the X-Men, the Eternals, and the Avengers, in A.X.E. Judgment Day. This comes on the heels of another almost line-wide event in Devil’s Reign and a mini-event in Reckoning War.

Savage Avengers #3: Conan’s rag-tag savage crew sent back in time continues their battle against Deathlok.
X-Men Hellfire Gala #1: The X-Men elect a new team! Other spoilerific events that have been teased will occur! It’s the party of the year! Meanwhile, Marvel chronologists are scratching their heads trying to figure out how a year has already passed in Marvel comics time.
A.X.E. Eve of Judgment #1: The Eternals have set their sights on the mutants of Earth and Mars and nothing stands in their way, except maybe the Avengers. The kick-off one-shot to this summer’s mega Marvel event.
Thanks to innumerable supply chain-based delays, this week is a monster week for Marvel. In addition to the above three books, we’ve also got the latest X-issues in Marauders, New Mutants, Immortal X-Men, and Wolverine, as well as Daredevil #1, Captain Carter, and Dan Slott’s second-to-last issue of Fantastic Four.
