If you like the X-Men, you know that dystopian futures are their bread and butter. Age of Revelation is the newest of the bunch, a franchise event that’ll last from October until the end of December. It’ll have more than 50 issues in the event by the time it wraps up… But don’t worry. With our reading order, you’ll know everything you need about the event and which series is best for you.
Ten years in the future, Revelation, the heir of Apocalypse, has created a utopia for mutants, ruled by the philosophy of the survival of the fittest. However, every utopia has its dark side. And from it, a group of X-Men rises as a resistance.
Age of Revelation Prologue
The Age of Revelation story has been brewing for a while now. So, here’s some background reading if you want to understand more about Revelation and their plans.
