Avengers & X-Men: Axis #8 begins as Spider-Man attempts to stop the Gene Bomb
however Carnage arrives and saves the city. Both the Avengers and X-Men battle
it out until Steve Rogers decides its time to get the Red Skull. Superior Iron Man
and new Captain America
attempt to stop him leading to a final issue of the Marvel series next week. The
last two issues were mostly heroes against heroes slugfist with very little
story as we approach the conclusion. Very little seems to be desired in the
last issue as that story paves the way for a new Uncanny Avengers series in
January.
The
second issue of Captain America
opens with both Sam Wilson and Nomad taking on Hydra while protecting a boy. The
boy is working with Hydra and betrays Captain America who then goes up against
Crossbones. Misty Knight assists Sam with Crossbones. She reveals Hydra has
infiltrated every team from the Avengers to the X-Men. Meanwhile Nomad is
captured by Zemo who quickly disposes him and sends the pictures to Steve
Rogers.
