SDCC | ‘Age of Revelation’ continues in November

See what’s up with Magik, the Fenris twins, the Iron King, Vindicator and the X-Babies during Marvel’s next big X-Men event.

Marvel has revealed more details about Age of Revelation, their big alternate-history X-Men event that kicks off in October. Following the slow trickle over four days of revealing the titles that’ll take over the X-Men line in October, Marvel has released covers and solicits for the second issues of each of those titles, which will arrive in November.

As a reminder, Age of Revelation is an Age of Apocalypse-style event. Like the 1990s event — which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year — Age of Revelation will show us an alternate world and bring the relaunch of several X-related titles for the duration, as Doug Ramsey, the heir to Apocalypse, creates a new world order and we jump 10 years into the future to see what it brings.

I covered the first issues when they were announced here, here, here and here, if you need to catch up on what was previously announced. Now here’s what you can expect in November … note that a couple of titles, Binary and Rogue Storm, are missing, but Marvel said details on their second issues would be released at a later date.

‘Rogue Storm,’ ‘Sinister’s Six’ + more new titles revealed as part of the ‘Age of Revelation’

Gail Simone, Lucas Werneck, David Marquez and more will continue this new era of X-Men titles.

Marvel continues to roll out more details on Age of Revelation, the X-Men event that’ll jump 10 years into a future where Doug Ramsey, former New Mutant and current heir to Apocalypse, rules over the world.

Marvel revealed that they’ll publish (at least) 16 titles as part of the event, with fun twists on existing titles and characters like Cloak or Dagger and Undeadpool. Five titles and their creative teams were revealed yesterday.

Like yesterday’s announcement, today’s reveal shows that some of the creative teams for these titles can be mapped back to the current line-up — Gail Simone will continue writing the stories and characters we’re seeing in Uncanny X-Men, while Storm writer Murewa Ayodele is writing a Storm vs. Rogue title. Cavan Scott and Ruairi Coleman will revisit the relationship between Emma Frost and Tony Stark that we saw form at the end of the Krakoa era, while David Marquez (who has been showing his writing chops on titles like The Unchosen) and Rafael Loureiro bring together six random characters to pull off a heist for Mr. Sinister.

Check out the four titles announced today, all of which kick off Oct. 15, and I expect we’ll get more as the week goes on.
