It’s only been about a year since the X-Men line relaunched with three main titles and a host of spin-offs, but it’s all happening again – and this time, the entire line is moving into an alt-reality just like it did 30 years ago in the classic story X-Men: Age of Apocalypse.
In the original 1995 Age of Apocalypse, the X-Men were rebooted in a reality ruled by the eponymous villain, and the entire line was temporarily suspended and replaced by new titles that completely rewrote the stories of the classic X-Men, even swapping the allegiances of some heroes.
The new event, titled Age of Revelation, puts Doug Ramsey in the role of the tyrannical villain. Following Doug being named as the so-called “Heir of Apocalypse,” he’s taken up the name Revelation (the meaning of the word “apocalypse”) and upgraded his ability to translate any language or form of communication to the point where he’s now able to speak to the Earth itself – and the Earth will obey his commands.
