This October, Marvel is set to introduce a monumental shift that will redefine the X-Men universe. In honor of the 30th anniversary of the iconic “Age of Apocalypse,” Marvel is unleashing the “Age of Revelation,” a daring new saga that propels the current X-Men storyline a decade into the future.
This isn’t just a glimpse into a potential timeline; it’s the new reality, born from current X-Men developments. At its heart is Doug Ramsey, A.K.A. Revelation, the unexpected heir to Apocalypse. Once welcomed onto Cyclops’ X-Men, Revelation has embraced Apocalypse’s ultimate goal: creating a world where only the strongest survive.
With his linguistic mutant power reaching astounding new heights, Revelation now commands the very Earth with his voice. He’s sculpted a utopian haven for mutantkind, spreading across the planet. But this paradise is built on an insidious foundation, gradually wiping out humanity until Earth becomes a mutant homeworld!
Ten years from now, the Revelation Territories span the United States, a formidable mutant empire led by Apocalypse’s heir. But beneath this seemingly perfect surface, rebellion is brewing. A ragtag X-Men team is striking from the shadows, determined to fight for humanity’s future. And it’s not just external threats Revelation faces; dissent is brewing from within his own ranks.
The “Age of Revelation” kicks off with two key issues:
X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION #0: This prelude one-shot, written by Jed MacKay with art by Humberto Ramos, reveals how this startling new status quo came to be. It’s already available as a surprise “Shadow Drop” variant at select retailers, with more copies featuring a wraparound cover by Ryan Stegman now available to order!
X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION OVERTURE #1: Releasing on October 1st, this foundational issue by Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman will serve as the launchpad for this entire new era.
The “Age of Revelation” will not only overtake the current X-Men line with evolutions like AMAZING X-MEN, UNBREAKABLE X-MEN, and EXPATRIATE X-MEN, but it will also impact the wider Marvel Universe with exciting new titles such as RADIOACTIVE SPIDER-MAN, X-VENGERS, and IRON AND FROST. The full lineup of “Age of Revelation” titles will be unveiled next week, so stay tuned!
Writer Jed MacKay, the architect of this massive event, shared his excitement: “We’re traveling to the alien future of the Age of Revelation, where the stories unfolding in the Revelation Territories and beyond will decide whether this is the dawn of a new world, or the end of one. We’ve been exploring a whole world, and it’s been really exciting to see other creators make corners of it their own!”
