Quentin Quire, Wolverine + Spider-Man join the ‘Age of Revelation’

Plus, Jed MacKay and Netho Diaz show us what the new world leader is up to in ‘X-Men: Book of Revelation.’

If you’ve been following along, you know that Marvel has been announcing all week the titles and creative teams that’ll make up their Age of Revelation event. The event and all its titles kick off in October — not including the prelude that was stealth-released this week — and today brings four more to add to the list.

Loosely based on the Age of Apocalypse event from the 1990s, this one features the newly minted Heir to Apocalypse, Doug Ramsey, taking over the world and creating a new mutant paradise — but it’s all built on a lie! Some mutants back him, others rebel against him, while some seem to have their own drama going on.

Today’s titles feature Wolverine, both the original vintage and a brand-new version; Quentin Quire, who is all grown up; and Spider-Man — yes, the Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker, not Nightcrawler dressing up as him. There’s also a title focused on Revelation himself, written by the event’s architect Jed MacKay and drawn by Netho Diaz.

Check out the four titles and their creative team below. They all have first issues debuting on Oct. 22.

Samira Ahmed + Andrés Genolet will push Ms. Marvel ‘Beyond the Limit’

The new miniseries will kick of in September and will explore Kamala Khan’s powers.

Marvel has recruited Young Adult author Samira Ahmed to work with Runaways artist Andrés Genolet on a new miniseries starring one of their most popular young adult characters, Ms. Marvel.

Ms. Marvel: Beyond the Limit will run for five issues, starting in September, and will address questions about “the source of her powers and what that means.”

“For kids of color, Muslim kids, there was literally zero representation when I was growing up,” Ahmed told Entertainment Weekly. “Just the fact that Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman was brunette and from someplace outside America was like, ‘Wow, that’s amazing!’ So when Sana and Willow announced Ms. Marvel, I was just so stunned. My heart soars for all the kids who will have Ms. Marvel comics as part of their childhood. For me, what’s cool about her is that she’s a girl like all the other girls. She’s balancing all this stuff: Parental expectations – which I can 100 percent relate to now even in adulthood – plus school, crushes and then this extraordinary side job. I feel so much that that is teen life, where you’re struggling to balance all those things and find your voice and where you fit in.”
