However, the resurrection backfires, as the space god lets the world know he will offer final judgment on whether they should be allowed to live.

In the current A.X.E.: Judgment Day event from Marvel Comics, the Eternals, led by the new Prime-Eternal, Druig, is trying to wipe out mutants believing they are a product of excess deviation. In response, a faction of the Eternals, including Makkari and Ajak, has gone to the Avengers' Celestial base, seeking out answers from the cosmic being on what to do next. The group realizes that awakening the Progenitor and having it tell Druig and the other Eternals to stop the attack might be their only solution to preventing the Earth's destruction. However, bringing the Celestial back online might have been a massive mistake.

The awakened former Celestial base of the Avengers calls out the people of Earth as "bickering children" who have "ruined" the planet. Due to their unkindness to one another, the Progenitor reveals that Judgment Day is now upon them as they will have 24 hours to justify their existence. The Celestial reveals they will be judged collectively and that if there is more "that is just wicked, you will live," but if they're found lacking, the planet will be destroyed.

The Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals' greatest challenge begins now. A.X.E.: Judgment Day #1 by Marvel Comics is in stores now.
