The Marvel Universe is on the brink of a major transformation, jumping ahead 10 years into the future this October in Age of Revelation. It’s a world reborn in the image of Apocalypse’s heir, Doug Ramsey AKA Revelation, who rules over a new mutant utopia built on an insidious lie that could threaten the rest of Earth! Throughout the week, enter the Age of Revelation with announcements for new series set in this new storytelling landscape, including titles starring all-new X-Men teams and solo sagas for iconic heroes.
Age of Revelation #0, a surprise prelude issue to the event, will be available at select retailers later this week and additional copies can be ordered now. Age of Revelation officially begins on October 1 in Age of Revelation: Overture #1, a one-shot by current X-Men creative team, writer Jed MacKay and artist Ryan Stegman. Following that, Age of Revelation continues in new titles, including an evolution of the entire current X-Men line.
The world is beholden to the will of REVELATION! Doug Ramsey commands Earth with his voice, creating the Revelation Territories, a new mutant utopia built on an insidious lie.
