On October 1, the next chapter of mutant history will be explored in Age of Revelation, an X-Men event that takes the Marvel Universe 10 years into a future where Doug Ramsey, the Heir of Apocalypse, reigns over a new mutant utopia while the rest of the world is ravaged—and mutated—by the mysterious X-Virus.
Tragic fates, strange alliances, and bold turns await your favourite X-Men and Marvel heroes in all-new series launches—including a radical transformation of the entire current X-line.
Age of Revelation kicks off in X-Men: Age of Revelation Overture #1, a one-shot by Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman. From there, experience this new future in an interwoven saga told across 16 three-issue series, along with a one-shot anthology.
Each Age of Revelation limited series will conclude in December, followed by X-Men Age of Revelation Finale #1, a special one-shot that delivers the explosive conclusion to the event and reveals the startling impact it’ll have on present-day X-Men storytelling.
Marvel Comics' Tom Brevoort said, "Going into January and beyond, we’re kind of in the shadow of tomorrow, where the events going forward will all kind of live in the umbra of these events that we have just witnessed. We’ve just seen things that have happened to all these characters 10 years down the line. And as far as we’re approaching this, these are all legitimate futures. This isn’t a what-if world."
"These things exist, as far as even the present-day characters are concerned. So, you’ll see a certain amount of reflectivity in what happens," he continued. "You’ll also see us start to launch a bunch of new projects in January, with more in February and March as we restock the line again and have a bunch of new things. We’ll spotlight some characters that haven’t been spotlighted in a while and reshuffle the deck."
You can check out what's to come in the final instalments of Age of Revelation below.
"I have plotted the way forward for this species. For this world. For all of us. I do not do this out of anger, but of love. I do not do this for love of power, but hatred of it. I was charged with ensuring the survival of the fittest. I am ensuring the survival of everyone." – Revelation
