Avengers & X-Men - AXIS Coming this October!

Marvel has posted a neat little video that recounts the story so far in the Marvel Universe that sets the stage for the publisher’s AXIS mega-event. The three-and-a-half-minute clip narrates all the relevant story points from Avengers Vs. X-Men and Rick Remender’s Uncanny Avengers, including the death of Charles Xavier, the establishment of the Avengers/X-Men Unity Squad, and the recent events of the “Avenge the Earth” story arc.

The trailer is a great way to catch up to the entity of Remender’s Uncanny Avengers run in preparation for the “March to AXIS” tie-ins, which span Captain America, Loki: Agent of Asgard, Magneto and Uncanny Avengers. However, the trailer jumps the gun just a bit, saying the tie-ins are available now — they actually start next week.
