THE HEIR OF APOCALYPSE RISES TO LEAD US INTO... THE AGE OF REVELATION!
This October, the Marvel Universe enters the AGE OF REVELATION, a new status quo taking place 10 years into the future and arising out of current developments in the X-Men titles.
AGE OF REVELATION kicks off in AGE OF REVELATION #0, a special prelude issue now available to order, and officially begins in X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION OVERTURE #1, followed by multiple new series.
Every so often, a pivotal moment occurs that radically transforms the Marvel Universe, diverting its destiny towards strange timelines and dark futures. This October, in honor of the 30th anniversary of one of the greatest of those aforementioned sagas, Age of Apocalypse, behold the AGE OF REVELATION, a startling new X-Men event that sees the world reborn in the image of the heir to Apocalypse: Doug Ramsey, A.K.A. Revelation.
This week, select retailers will receive a Shadow Drop Variant of AGE OF REVELATION #0, a prelude one-shot by X-Men writer Jed MacKay and superstar artist Humberto Ramos that reveals how this new status quo came to be. Starting today, additional copies of this surprise issue with a wraparound cover by Ryan Stegman are now available to order. Retailers should order immediately to receive their copies as soon as possible.
On October 1, AGE OF REVELATION OVERTURE #1 by MacKay and Stegman serves as a foundational alpha issue for this new era, which overtakes the current X-Men line for the foreseeable future with series evolutions like Amazing X-Men, Unbreakable X-Men, and Expatriate X-Men, and also impacts the wider Marvel Universe with launches such as Radioactive Spider-Man, X-Vengers, and Iron and Frost. The full scope of AGE OF REVELATION titles is unveiled today, with official series announcements to come next week.
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 being the architect behind the latest X-Men milestone, MacKay said, "Enter... the Age of Revelation! I'm extremely excited to be at the center of this event-- we're traveling to the alien future of the Age of Revelation, where the stories unfolding in the Revelation Territories and beyond will decide whether this is the dawn of a new world, or the end of one. We've been exploring a whole world, and it's been really exciting to see other creators make corners of it their own!"

These are all promising titles. If it is anything like AoA, then I will read most of the titles.
Pretty disappointed they didn't use the opportunity to do another volume of Uncanny Spider-Man
Waiting on them to reveal the X-Vengers. That's the only part of this that I might be interested in.
I really liked the relationship between Tony and Emma. It was one of my favorite parts of the last big arc.

Going by their description, they want it to be the Future, but of course someone will go back in time and undo it making itan alternative timeline
So is the 10 year jump an alternative timeline?

He kind of lost it in X-Men #700 and Heir of Apocalypse. Which pains me because I thought the writers were going somewhere with him during Krakoa. Also, shameless plug, I have a copy ofX-Factor#6 signed by Louise Simonson.
Not sure how much Apocalypse will be involved with this (his face is right there, so probably involved) but my great fear is they'll just undo the character arc he went through in Krakoa. I also don't just want them to write Doug as a villain now. I'll be reading regardless.
This sounds really interesting to me. I thought what they did with Doug becoming Revelation was awesome, and have been waiting for the story to play out a bit more.
