X years from today: welcome to the AGE OF REVELATION! The Revelation Territories stretch from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, a mutant land ruled over by the Heir of Apocalypse. While on the surface a kind of mutant utopia, the cracks are beginning to show-and the lie that this land was built upon stirs the flames of rebellion. Learn how this terrible future came to pass and what it means for the X-Men and the rest of the Marvel Universe in this kickoff special by Jed MacKay and Humberto Ramos! Plus a glimpse at the many titles where the events of the Age of Revelation will play out in the months to come!
X-Men: Age of Revelation #0 is an indispensable read for anyone following Jed MacKay's X-Men, providing an enticing and exciting preview of what's to come. While some readers might be wary of yet another “Age of Apocalypse” homage so soon after Sins of Sinister and Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse, Age of Revelation #0 offers enough intrigue and unique story elements to stand apart.

It was meh. I'll pick and choose what to read of the event itself (excited for Hickman on Longshots).
The decision to go almost entirely with Shen Xorn narrating the events made for a pretty dull read. And when the entire thing is retread of AoA, its even duller. There's an inkling of good ideas (parallels to manifest destiny) to, but come on, a mutant zombie plague? Zombies have been tired for at least a decade now.
Art was fine, I'm not a huge Ramos fan, but not his worst work.
This isn’t Jed McKay‘s worst writing, however we‘ve seen it all before. Age of Revelation is nothing new. In fact, it’s a rehash of Age of Apocalypse, a concept that didn’t work for me in the 90s and doesn’t work for me now ( or the half a dozen other times Marvel has tried to shock us with an alternate version of the X-Men). I’m not interested in other versions of the X-Men and I don’t want to buy sixteen new titles to get one story that we all know didn’t happen in the end anyway. I want good stories featuring the characters I know and love, but Marvel doesn’t seem to be interested in grounded storytelling anymore.
