About the comic:
AXE starts because an agent of Orchis aims the Eternals led by Druig at muants under the premise that the mutants fall under the terms of "excess Deviation" which Eternals are literally designed to eliminate.
Druig having recently taken up position of Prime Eternal after deposing of previous one in his usual style of betrayal invents a "holy war" against the mutants to solidify his rule and unleashes the Eternals on the mutants of Krakoa and Mars.
This takes shape in two ways.
In 1 hour Uranos alone wipes out almost everything within 50 miles which includes killing Cable as indicated by the techno-organic markings on the skull, Magneto as indicated by the helmet in the previous two images although the actual act is shown earlier,
He also faces Legion for all of 28 seconds, 06:28 -> 06:56.
Druig then announces to the world he is "solving the mutant problem". which leads to many humans celebrating yet another mutant genocide happening. The OP pic is a follow up to this from a more personal POV.
As the battle rages on the Krakoa the mutants manage to kill 1 of 6 giant Eternals currently assaulting the island leading to the second set of 6 panels involving the OP humans.
Marvel maintains it's mastery of nuance by writing;
The hwite male as the intolerant one of mutants
The Canadian woman [who could be several different ethnicities with how she's been drawn] taking the role of flailing activist spending her time
pissing into the hurriancetweeting more feels3, The old man dying [nobody cares about India]
The poor, young, black woman in Brazil serving white customers while working her third job
The "[em]pathetic", black, American woman who is the only voice being raised that the genocide is wrong yet still drowning in SocJus.
The "white", brainless-zoomer, Asian gamer.
So the attempts are made to garner sympathy for the female characters while the male ones are discarded and made points of ridicule
which is wonderful. As there are 6 giant Eternals andwere6 random humans there's a very likely chance we see these characters again and I predict the following:Manchild dies
Canadian possibly dies but her tweets somehow "start a conversation"
Already dead, #RIPArjun #taken2soon
Will survive because she's a poor, black woman and needs pity
and moneyWill possibly realise her earlier actions were wrong but then still die or even better find out her daughter died because of an Eternal Reactivation first, realise she was wrong, then die to one herself for maximum irony [I can dream...]
Gamer dies
Or maybe a lot more die because in order to stop the fighting Ajak and Makkari have the brilliant idea to create their own Celestial from a corpse. It goes about as well as you would expect.
And while this is issue 2/6 of the AXE Judgement Day comic there is a lot still to happen as the event is 37 comics long and this is only the 5th issue...

Ajak and Makkari link is pointed at the win instead of imgur, fixed link here.
Fixed.
I expected a few typos/formatting issues and that's not the worst that could happen. Not sure why it does that but I tried moving the imgur link from one part of the sentence to another as I changed the structure which meant losing everything in the link but the final string.
