CHECK OUT ALL THE COVERS FOR X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION OVERTURE, THE START OF A NEW ERA OF MUTANT SUPREMACY!

Starting in October, AGE OF REVELATION radically transforms the Marvel Universe, taking it 10 years into a future where a new mutant utopia created by Apocalypse’s heir, Doug Ramsey A.K.A. Revelation, threatens to overtake all of Earth! This new age of storytelling officially begins in AGE OF REVELATION OVERTURE #1, a one-shot by X-Men creative team, writer Jed MacKay and artist Ryan Stegman. AGE OF REVELATION OVERTURE #1 will serve as the foundation for an entire landscape of exciting new AGE OF REVELATION titles, including a bold evolution of the entire current X-Men line. Today, fans can check out all the covers for the highly anticipated issue, on sale October 1.

Stegman provides the main cover while variant covers come from superstar artists like Aaron Kuder, Mark Bagley and Cory Smith. The one-shot also features a piece by Rickie Yagawa, the first in a series of Character Variant Covers that will adorn all of Age of Revelation’s debut issues. And best-selling cover artist Stanley “Artgerm” Lau delivers a stunning depiction of this new future’s Psylocke, a piece that will also be available as a virgin variant cover.

AGE OF REVELATION takes current X-Men storytelling 10 years into the future. After being welcomed onto Cyclops’ X-Men with open arms, Revelation set out on the impossible task that Apocalypse entrusted him with: creating a world where only the fittest survived. With his linguistic mutant power amplified to an astonishing new level, Doug commands Earth itself with his voice, reshaping it as a utopian haven for mutantkind. It’s a mutant homeland built on an insidious lie, spreading across the planet and wiping out humanity until it becomes a mutant homeworld!

THE HEIR RISES – THE RESISTANCE IGNITES!

X YEARS FROM TODAY the Revelation Territories stretch from the Atlantic to the Mississippi – a mutant utopia ruled by the heir of Apocalypse. But beneath the surface, rebellion brews. As a ragtag X-Men team strikes from the shadows, Revelation faces threats from within. It all begins here – the dawn of the AGE OF REVELATION!

On the creative opportunities found in alternate futures, Jed told AIPT in this week’s edition of X-Men Monday, “I think what I like most about it is the ‘secret history’ of it all. We catch up with characters who have been changed by 10 years of chaos, and it’s always fun for me to see them as they are now and wonder how they got there. We’ll see a lot of relationships between characters having changed from what we’ve known, and though some blanks will be filled in, others will be left for the readers to speculate upon (and how that could foreshadow the future).”
