Kicking off next month, Marvel Comics is inviting readers into a new chapter in mutant history with Age of Revelation. Set to conclude this December, we now have new information about the final adventures in this new saga ahead of its debut.
What’s Happening:
- Marvel Comics new adventure Age of Revelation is set to take superhero fans 10 years in the Marvel Universe future.
- Doug Ramsey, the Heir of Apocalypse, rules a protected mutant utopia, all whilst the rest of the world is being destroyed and mutated by the X-Virus.
- Set to take place from October through December in 16 different three-issue series and a special one shot, readers will be invited on a bold adventure that will see tragedy, strange new teamups, and radical transformations of X-Men and Marvel heroes.

- The only hint we’ve been given about the plot is a quote from Revelation himself, stating “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."
- Artist Ryan Stegman also crafted the cover for the upcoming issue.
- X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale #1 will debut on December 31st, and is available now for preorder

What They’re Saying:
- Tom Brevoort, Executive Editor and Conductor of X: “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. 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 with characters that are now sort of momentarily on the sidelines. Hopefully, that keeps the line feeling fun and exciting and having new cool things for people to check out."
