The Weekly Pull : The Red Supremacy
The events of 2012's AvX storyline continue in the next Marvel Epic event this month as we enter Axis - Book One : The Red Supremacy.
Back in September, I touched base on a companion piece to this arc, The Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier, which provides crucial framework in the rise of Red Skull following Xavier’s death. In the pages of Uncanny Avengers, Steve Rogers recruited Havok, Cyclops’ brother, to lead a team of Avengers in attempt to show the world that humans and mutants could work together side-by-side for the common good. The team was immediately put to the test when the team discovered that the Red Skull had lobotomized the corpse of Charles Xavier, resulting in his possession of Xavier’s brain and the incredible psychic abilities that come with it.
Taking place over the first three issues of the mini-series, Axis - Book One begins immediately following the final page of Uncanny Avengers #25, where the Red Skull has formed a mutant concentration camp, and in turn, is brutally murdered by former holocaust victim, Magneto, for his Nazi crimes against humanity. Unfortunately, the murderous act quickly backfires and in an explosion of psychic energy, the Red Skull is reborn in a form familiar to X-men readers of the mid-90s : The Red Onslaught.
The battles with Red Skull spans the entire first three issues of the Axis event, where unexpected team-ups set the stage for both upcoming Superior Iron Man and Uncanny Avengers titles, which will once again alter the status quo of the Marvel Universe. Do yourself a favor and jump on board with Axis - Book One : The Red Supremacy as we eagerly await the second act : Inversion.
