The All-New X-Men get all-new costumes, the universe discovers the former host of the Phoenix is alive and the mutants clash with the outer space Avengers! The secret of Marvel’s Trial and Judgment teasers stand revealed.
Battle of the Atom and Infinity are still raging across the Marvel Universe but we learned new details about the upcoming crossover between the original five X-Men and the Guardians of the Galaxy at New York Comic Con.
Brian Michael Bendis reveals The Trial of Jean Grey will unite the two very different teams he writes together for a cosmic crossover.
“Without spoiling the end of one of the biggest X-Men events of all time, I will say that a lot has changed. Not everyone is where or when they were when the event began. But, it is safe to say that Jean Grey is still here, and now a lot of people know about it. Once the word gets out that Jean Grey, who was once host to one of the most formidable and destructive cosmic forces in the entire galaxy, [is back], there are people—major players—[that] will want to hold her accountable for some of that destruction,” Bendis tells Marvel.com.
The Trial storyline will mean more shocks for the young mutants.
“Well, let’s remember that the All-New X-Men are still some of the youngest, most naïve heroes in the entire Marvel Universe. They still have only been X-Men for a few weeks, so everything is a new experience—especially finding out that one of you was the host of a destructive force that took out entire planets, or that there are spaceships, or that raccoons have rockets and laser guns. There is a great deal of fun to be had and a great deal of serious life-changing drama.
And not all of the Guardians are going to have the same feeling about Jean Grey and the Phoenix. She is and will always be a very polarizing figure in the Marvel Universe. This “trial” will put the spotlight right on that.”
Everyone has a judgment, but whose is right? Should Jean be held accountable for things that she has not done yet? Should she be stopped before it happens again? Is a crime a crime if the person who committed the crime hasn’t committed it yet?
This crossover continues the tradition of X-Men in Space sagas but it’s very different for these kids and a very dangerous universe after Infinity.
“For those who know their X-Men, some of you may already be thinking about the fact that one of the original X-Men’s fathers already has a very important place in the Marvel galaxy. The X-Men may be shocked to find themselves dealing with space for the very first time, but some of them may be surprised how personal the story will get.”
