Marvel’s AXIS will be much more than Avengers and X-Men versus the Red Skull.
In the March to AXIS some of Marvel’s villains turned fan-favorite anti-heroes are in the crossfire and pitted against each other.
What could lead to a showdown between the Prince of Asgard and Monarch of Latveria?
“AXIS comes to Loki with [LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD #6], in a story some fans have been waiting to read for a while: Loki versus Doctor Doom,” writer Al Ewing told Marvel.com. “Two bad people, trying to be better people—someone’s got to be the winner. Loki’s trying to slip the chains of his own future. Now that he knows he’s doomed to end up as the maniacal King Loki, he’s even more determined to escape predestination and be his own person. Unfortunately, Doom—as part of his work with Valeria Richards to improve the world, as detailed in FANTASTIC FOUR—has journeyed into the future, met King Loki, and decided to take him out of the picture for the good of humanity. So they’re on a collision course to the death. Meanwhile, the Red Skull has some plans of his own for the world, and Latveria is right in the firing line.”
The Doom/Loki confrontation hits in issue six by Ewing and Lee Garbett in September.
Victor Von Doom and Loki when he was Lady Loki were recent allies as member of Norman Osborn’s evil version of The Illuminati.
