Cyclops and Beast awakened to a world gone wild. The United States was shrinking, and the Revelation Territories were taking over. Magneto explained that Revelation stripped troublemakers like Scott Summers and Hank McCoy of their ability to communicate. So, the X-Men transported their consciousnesses forward a decade, filling their older bodies with younger minds in these days of future past. Yet as they traveled to Salem Center, Glob Herman refused to take Scott’s orders, and Animalia inferred that older Hank had prepared for his younger self’s arrival.

 

Scott realized that Magneto lied. Revelation didn't Babel his older self. Instead, older Scott and Hank had traveled back to stop Revelation before he could unleash the X-Virus. What can Scott and Hank do to help these Mutants defeat Revelation? And why does Psylocke believe Revelation wants to destroy the world? Let’s grab our visors, leap into Amazing X-Men #3, and see!

 

Story

Shortly after Cyclops and Beast arrived, Wolverine killed Magneto, Forge, Xorn, and Archangel. Glob Herman blamed Scott for their deaths. But after a teleporter glitch diverted them to Darkchild’s domain, Scott got them out. Now, as they travel toward Philadelphia, Scott asks Psylocke to explain. But the Mutant community is divided between supporters of Revelation and those who defy his dictatorship. And Psylocke and Glob don't want to get along.

 

When Bei the Blood Moon betrayed her husband, she blew up Psylocke's life. With her dying breath, Revelation’s wife told Psylocke about his ultimate plan. But before that, Revelation forced Psylocke to wear an X-Men badge. He claimed it was a mark of shame for failing to protect Topaz. But in Amazing X-Men #3, others view it as a declaration of independence.

 

Jed MacKay's story deals with how we interact with others. Scott may spit out orders, but he wants everyone to work together. Psylocke may be a divisive figure, but the X-Men refuse to get along. They've been hunted and pushed back for so long that each takes pride in their individual accomplishments, but doesn't believe they can win as a team. While Scott tries to quell their squabbling, Revelation seeks to unite the world.

 

When the travelers finally find a place to regroup, Beast learns more about this future world. Beast is content to let Scott lead the group in Amazing X-Men #3. But he wants to be sure of where he stands before Scott and the group make any plans to take down Revelation.

As the X-Men travel to Philadelphia, Psylocke reluctantly turns back to tell Scott her secret. Glob crosses his arms, interposing himself between Psylocke and his two remaining freedom fighters, as he listens. When trouble arises, Scott and Hank are the first to charge into action. Yet amid the chaos, Mahmud Asrar shows Schwarzschild, a man Scott never chose to be an X-Men, keep a cool head under pressure.

 

As Matthew Wilson adorns Amazing X-Men #3 with a vibrant palette, yellow-gold burnishes Psylocke's memories. The X-Men encounter people adorned in white and gold, including a man who summons yellow light with his hand. After Psylocke's X-Men gold badge sparks conflict, yellow light adorns a quiet interlude between Beast and Animalia. While yellow seems linked with enlightenment, pink becomes the color of conflict. Pink beams of energy strike opponents. Psylocke's sword glows pink. And a pink brute barrels through the foliage toward translucent, pink-skinned Glob Herman, who thrives by killing his enemies.

 

Clayton Cowles fills panels with black uppercase letters in white dialogue balloons and narrative balloons. Letters grow bold for intonation and never shrink. Black obscures Glob Herman’s less placatory wordage. Sound effects heighten a conflict, yet also bring closure, and relax a tense relationship between heroes. Thanks to Marvel Comics for providing a review copy.

 

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

The X-Men have failed to overturn Revelation's rule for so long that they no longer believe they can win. When Psylocke tells them that Revelation is planning the end of life on Earth as they know it, Scott Summers knows they need to act fast. Once again, he senses that things aren't quite the way they seem. But life has another surprise in store for Scott Summers in Amazing X-Men #3.

Unbreakable X-Men #2 Review

With Wolverine's help, Rogue and Gambit mentored a group of young mutants nicknamed the Outliers. When the St Juniors invited them to share Haven House, the X-Men also trained their daughter, Dome. The house guarded a graveyard for centuries, a rare resting place for Mutants in a world that hated them. The St Juniors and X-Men also helped Lady Henrietta Benjamin and Man-Thing guard the Dark Artery, an entryway to the Penumbra. There, Shuvahrak torments people who hurt or betray the Mutant members of their families during their lives.

 

When Galactus approached their property, Rogue stopped the Planet Eater at the cost of her life. Years later, Henrietta Benjamin visits the St Juniors’ home. She tells Gambit, Ransom, Temper, Dome, and Spider-Girl that Shuvahrak no longer wishes to torment the dead. Now, she wants to attack the living. Can Gambit and his adopted family prevent the dark god from arising? And how will Shuvahrak treat the inhabitants of Revelation's Territories? Let's grab a pack of playing cards, leap into Unbreakable X-Men #2, and see!

 

Story

After Rogue's death, the St Juniors' home became a house of pain. Gambit thinks of Rogue constantly. He yearns to join her in death. When Shuvahrak raises a zombie army to wipe out the guardians, Gambit pours out his anger and despair over Rogue's loss on his undead attackers. Despite how Ransom and the others care for him, Gambit draws strength by thinking of Nightcrawler, who has prayed for and counseled him.

 

In Unbreakable X-Men #2, Lady Henrietta and the others don’t know how Shuvahrak has gained new powers. But the prospect of the god breaking free to torment the living is a danger they cannot ignore. It frightens Ransom enough to suggest a reunion of the Outliers, something he has resisted all these years. Foremost in his thoughts is Deathdream, who convinced the others to promise that they would fight Shuvahrak if she ever threatened the living.

 

With Miss Henrietta urging them to hurry, Gail Simone’s story sends Gambit and his small cadre of X-Men to gather reinforcements. Years ago, Galactus told Rogue that Dome served no purpose at Haven House, but she could fulfill her promise elsewhere. Given her fierce love of Dome, Rogue didn't let the girl consider becoming the Planet Eater’s herald. Years after one giant's attack brought their lives to a standstill, the threat of another helps Gambit and the others remember their purpose and use their gifts to protect others in Unbreakable X-Men #2.

 

 

 

Art

As Gambit battles near a statue he cannot see, he guards a memorial erected by the city of New Orleans. Afterward, clad in the clothes of his late wife, Lady Henrietta hugs and kisses Gambit outside Haven House. While the X-Men gather in the living room, Shuvahrak arises. Chains adorn a leviathan more beast than Human in appearance. As the rays of light surrounding her echo the shape of Rogue's memorial, worshippers surround her, while a town climbs a nearby hill.

 

While Espen Grundetjern adorns Unbreakable X-Men #2 with brief respites from the encroaching darkness, Ransom strides through photographic negatives. Like Shuvahrak's tail, Sadurang’s glowing orange, red, and blue body appears more serpentine than before. 

 

 

 

Spider-Girl’s red jacket links her with Calico’s red riding coat, while the copper manes of her gray horses glow. Lady Henrietta and Dome prepare to protect Haven House, clad in black and gray. The X on Dome’s shirt echoes the entryway to the realm that can no longer hold its angry god.

 

Clayton Cowles shares dialogue using uppercase black letters in white balloons and boxes or white letters in black balloons. Gambit’s thoughts appear as white letters in pink boxes as he fights off zombies with glowing pink cards. The letters grow bold for intonation and never shrink. While earthshaking sound effects herald the end of an era, enlarged and colored words make for a statement of purpose and unity. Thanks to Marvel Comics for providing a review copy. 

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

Gambit's love of Rogue helped him build a loving, supportive community for Mutants in Haven House. After his despair made the home a tomb, the Outliers went their separate ways. While survivor's guilt made Gambit want to die, Shuvahrak’s loss drove her to make others feel her pain. Dwelling on her loss fed her anger until that was all she knew. Feeling betrayed by the Mutant community for not protecting her child, Shuvahrak arises in a land created by Revelation’s betrayal of the Mutant community’s ideals in Unbreakable X-Men #2.

Amazing X-Men #2 Review

 

Writer: Jed MacKay

Artist: Mahmud Asrar

Colorist: Matthew Wilson

Letterer: Clayton Cowles

Cover Artists: Mahmud Asrar & Matthew Wilson; Ejikure; InHyuk Lee; Stephanie Hans

Design: Sarah Spadaccini & Jay Bowen

Editors: Lindsey Cohick, Annalise Bissa, Tom Brevoort & CB Cebulski

Like Rip Van Winkle, Scott Summers and Hank McCoy awaken in their future. Thanks to Forge, their consciousnesses reside in their older bodies. The future X-Men want their help to defeat fellow mutant Doug Ramsey. But Doug has become the mind-controlling dictator, Revelation. And before they can embark on a plan, Revelation sends Wolverine, his Angel of Death, to kill Magneto, Forge, Archangel, and Xorn.

 

Glob Herman led them to a teleporter, hoping to rendezvous with an agent in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Instead, the machine glitched, sending them elsewhere. Can Scott, Hank, and their future friends gain help in Providence, Rhode Island? And can Scott gain his team’s trust so he can lead them to victory against Revelation? Let’s grab our visors, leap into Amazing X-Men #2, and see!

 

Story

At first, Scott Summers doesn't recognize his surroundings. Perhaps that explains why, when he sees the woman with Juggernaut and Psylocke, he mistakes her for Illyana. But Beast recognizes the change immediately. The woman who stands before them is Darkchild. And she rules Providence like she would Limbo. As in Beverly, Massachusetts, Darkchild protects the inhabitants from the virus that could cure them (of their nonMutantness) or kill them.

 

Unlike Carol Danvers, Darkchild is not a benevolent protector. In Amazing X-Men #2, she enjoys ruling her subjects and does nothing for free. So, when Darkchild demands a price for her assistance, Scott agrees. He may not like the way the X-Men brought him here. But they need him, and he wishes to help his future world. But the pound of flesh Darkchild demands makes their encounter different from what Scott anticipates.

 

 

 

In any age, pleasant falsehoods help make the world endurable. During tough times, we get through each new day by denying pain or hiding from it. In Jed MacKay’s story, the truth becomes a weapon sharper than Darkchild’s sword. The inhabitants of Providence fear it, allowing Darkchild to rule them so they don’t have to face it. She increases her population by revealing the devastating truths they prefer not to see.

 

Amazing X-Men #2 features action, drama, and revelations. But Scott Summers doesn’t have to incinerate anyone to shine in Jed MacKay's story. Scott stands resolute, demanding the center stage and refusing to accept anything less than the absolute respect of those around him. 

 

 

 

 

Art

Scott Summers may he disoriented. Yet when he sees Darkchild atop Juggernaut’s shoulders, he adopts a fighting stance. Likewise, the X-Men follow suit, provoking Juggernaut and Psylocke to action. Darkchild’s composure contrasts with her lieutenants' response and her hardworking subjects. While the others fight, and Hank McCoy attempts dialogue, Scott observes and waits for the time to intervene.

 

As Mahmud Asrar shows a contentious clash of two worlds in Amazing X-Men #2, Matthew Wilson lavishes a loaded palette on this contest for Scott’s future. Red and pink link Juggernaut, Darkchild, and Glob Herman, three people who believe force fixes problems. Gray Animalia and Hank share a love of learning. Or, at least they used to. Yet gray also represents the city where learning takes place, and the inhabitants who need education to do their jobs. As Scott confronts Darkchild, the surrounding greenery reminds us of how Revelation has transformed America, granting Darkchild her power and the X-Men's reason for abducting Scott and Hank.

 

Clayton Cowles fills panels with black uppercase letters in white dialogue balloons and narrative balloons. Letters grow bold for intonation and shrink for lowered voices. Sound effects arise when Animalia embraces rock and roll, while balloons deform when things don’t go Glob Herman’s way. Thanks to Marvel Comics for providing a review copy.

 

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

Magneto claimed the X-Men brought Scott Summers and Hank McCoy to the future to save it. Yet Glob Herman refuses to follow Scott’s leadership. Hank also recognizes that things don’t quite add up. But Scott realizes the truth behind their charade and the X-Men’s desperation in Amazing X-Men #1

Amazing X-Men #1 Review

 

Writer: Jed MacKay

Artist: Mahmud Asrar

Colorist: Matthew Wilson

Letterer: Clayton Cowles

Cover Artists: Mahmud Asrar & Matthew Wilson; Germán Peralta; Mike Hawthorne & Dan Brown; Mike McKone & Rachelle Rosenberg; Sanford Greene

Design: Jay Bowen

Editors: Lindsey Cohick, Annalise Bissa, Tom Brevoort & CB Cebulski

Release Date: October 8, 2025

 

When Scott Summers awakens in a cave, some of the first people he meets are Magneto, Forge, and Archangel. Magneto tells him about the mutative virus that activates mutant genes and has spurred nature into overdrive. Then Scott meets Beast. Magneto and the other X-Men have also ripped Hank McCoy’s consciousness out of time and placed it in his future self.

 

Scott discovers how badly this ragtag group of survivors needs their help when Wolverine appears and kills Magneto, Forge, and Archangel. Can Cyclops and Beast prevent Revelation’s forces from killing them and their abductors? Will Wolverine regenerate after Xorn's sacrifice and hunt them down? Let’s grab our visors, leap into Amazing X-Men #1, and see!

 

Story

Scott Summers is frustrated. Seven X-Men brought him to the future. Now, only three remain. Glob Herman may not say it. Still, he blames Scott for his comrades’ deaths. Had Scott allowed him to shoot the Omega Kid, who reported their position to Quentin Quire, all of them might be alive. Scott likely contemplates this as they trek toward Philadelphia. Perhaps there, Glob Herman, Schwarzschild, and Animalia’s colleagues can help Scott understand what he and Hank can contribute to combat Revelation.

 

While Scott still resists seeing Schwarzschild as an X-Men, Beast seems more understanding. But then, he also has much in his past that others could condemn him for. As Beast gets a glimpse of how Animalia has suffered, he also uncovers a mystery. It’s not something he wants to make too much of. After all, if he hopes to return to his own time, Hank will need these people’s help.

 

Once again, Jed MacKay shows us Revolution’s ruthless determination to dominate everyone in his expanding territory. Yet Amazing X-Men #1 also reveals what sent Doug Ramsey upon this path. As Cyclops and Beast struggle to come to terms with their future colleagues and each other, they will face more danger and loss. Scott will gain more insight into how Glob Herman and all the mutants have suffered. But perhaps Doug Ramsey, the great communicator, has suffered the most. That is, until he closed himself off to his feelings, when his pain exceeded what he could bear.

 

 

 

Art

As Glob Herman protects their group, Scott frowns and crosses his arms over his chest. Standing in judgment, he thrusts a finger at Glob. Like Schwarzschild, Beast looks away from the others. Only Animalia dares look at Beast, and then, not for long. As Beast and Wolverine lope through the forest, their long hair and beards forge a link between them. Mahmud Asrar brings a cinematic quality to Amazing X-Men #1. A fallen statue in the forest evokes The Lord of the Rings, and hands rise from the ground as in countless horror movies. Then there is a marker left behind, like a warning against entering a forbidden zone. 

 

 

 

Matthew Wilson applies a lush palette to life in the Revelation Territories, as Cyclops, Beast, and their future colleagues trek through this land reclaimed by nature. Gray links Beast and Animalia. With their dark clothing, gray also links Beast and Schwarzschild. Yellow and gold link Revelation with his assistants, as opposed to the mutant aberrations in need of debugging. Orange fills the background, and his eyes glow red like his late wife's costume when Revelation exerts his power. Yet the hands and arms arising from the ground glow green, showing far more affinity for this reclaimed land than Glob Herman’s vibrant pink skin in Amazing X-Men #1.

 

 

 

Clayton Cowles fills panels with black uppercase letters in white dialogue balloons and narrative balloons. When he bends others to his will, Revelation speaks white letters into black boxes. Another character who opposes Revelation also speaks in white dialogue. Yet his words don't swell to emphasize his will. Sound effects and giant colored dialogue arise when Xorn's sacrifice proves insufficient to deter Revelation's Angel of Death. Yet a black line, instead of symbols, reveals Glob Herman's feelings about one of history's most revered X-Men. Thanks to Marvel Comics for providing a review copy.

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

As a mystery surrounds their abduction, Scott Summers and Hank McCoy must accept their situation and do their captors’ bidding if they wish to return to where they belong. Yet Scott and Hank's abduction is nothing compared with Wolverine, who represents the ultimate captive. Sadly, while Revelation once cherished life, now he treats people like lifeless machines in Amazing X-Men #1.

X-Men: Age of Revelation Overture #1 Review

 

Writer: Jed MacKay

Penciler: Ryan Stegman

Inker: JP Mayer

Colorist: Edgar Delgado

When voices awaken him, Scott Summers peers through his visor. Although he recognizes the people around him, they look different. Older. As he rises from the hospital bed and yanks the contact pads off his forehead, Scott asks what's going on. His “friends” tell him they’ve transported his consciousness from his era and supplanted him in his older body. Worse than the abduction, they destroyed his present consciousness to bring him here. Why did his older colleagues summon him to the future? And can he trust them? Let’s grab our visors, leap into X-Men: Age of Revelation Overture #1, and see!

 

Story

Magneto, so often Scott's adversary, wears an X on his belt. He leads Scott out of the cave and shows him a foreign land. It used to be the United States. Below him, nature has encroached upon cities. Foliage-crowned, crumbling towers poke above the forest. Magneto tells him that a mutative virus is sweeping across the United States. Like the Terrigen Bomb that activated Kamala Khan's Inhuman genes, this virus turns Humans into Mutants. This virus has also changed the landscape, destroying the roads and cities that helped Humanity thrive.

 

 

As Scott realizes that civilization lies in ruins, he learns that Doug Ramsey rules the isolated pockets of survivors in this vast, expanding landscape. His choristers assist those villages loyal to him. Seraphim kill the dissenters. Millions may have died. But the Revelation Territories have taken on the vitality of the Mutant nation of Krakoa that Doug helped create. As Cipher, Doug helped people communicate and grow in harmony with nature. Now, as Revelation, Doug takes inspiration from the Biblical story of Humanity's first attempt to build a skyscraper. He turns dissenters into Babels stripped of any ability to communicate in X-Men: Age of Revelation Overture #1.

 

 

 

After providing a glimpse of village life, Jed MacKay's story follows Scott, Revelation, and his seraphim, Psylocke. But the spotlight shines brightest on Scott Summers as he navigates unfamiliar surroundings. He doesn't know this world or who he can trust. And in their desperate struggle to survive, the X-Men employ harsher methods than Scott approves of. While they value his abilities, some aren't ready to follow him. He may not like what his X-Men have done. Still, Scott Summers fights to meet the demands facing him without relinquishing his principles in X-Men: Age of Revelation Overture #1. 

 

 

 

Art

Ryan Stegman and JP Mayer fill traditional page layouts with natural beauty, drama, and action. Scott's muscular body, long hair, beard, and clothing show how time has forced his older self to adapt. His new allies mutter to each other about him. Most regard him with frowns. After cloaking his features in shadow, Magneto's face appears within his mask as he explains the world they inhabit. Then a hairy Mutant leaps from above the cave mouth to confront them. 

 

 

 

Edgar Delgado applies a loaded palette of nuanced colors to X-Men: Age of Revelation Overture #1. Like the fire that accompanies his choristers' appearances, Revelation adorns himself in yellow and orange. As he plucks blue fruit from a tree, the purple foliage forms a link with our first glimpse of his wife. But Bei's predominant red outfit links her with Magneto's costume and Scott's cape. Still, no color reinforces the harshness of this Brave New World like pink. It colors Glob Herman's translucent body, Psylocke's sword, and the energy whirling around Quentin Quire's goggles.

 

 

 

Clayton Cowles fills panels with black uppercase letters in white dialogue balloons and narrative balloons. When he bends others to his will, Revelation speaks white letters into black boxes. White block letters introduce settings and characters. Telepathic communication occurs in cloudy balloons. Sound effects enhance weapon fire and clashing blades, while giant letters overtake the background when Revelation sends his Angel of Death to dispatch his enemies. Thanks to Marvel Comics for providing a review copy.

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

As Cipher, Doug Ramsey helped the Mutants thrive. Now, as Revelation, he isolates people into small pockets of civilization that he can control. While ruling with an iron fist, the truth becomes whatever Revelation wishes it to be. And anyone who disagrees with him never does so again. Jed MacKay, Ryan Stegman, JP Mayer, Edgar Delgado, and Clayton Cowles deliver a far-reaching meditation on what happens when the abilities that help us achieve greatness outweigh our respect for others in X-Men: Age of Revelation Overture #1.

X-Men #26 Spotlight

 

With Orchis using media, law enforcement, and Iron Man technology to hunt down mutants, Emma Frost adopts a new look and name. But whether she goes by Emma Frost or Hazel Kendal, she now works for Wilson Fisk, who rules the Hellfire Club as the White King. When she learns that Kitty Pryde is hunting Firestar, she asks Tony if he minds Shadowkat killing her. 

 

 

 

Branded a traitor, Firestar's been hiding out on an Orchis space station. That's no obstacle for Shadowcat. The unstoppable mutant ninja is determined to take down anyone involved in the mutant massacre on Krakoa. 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Kamala Khan continues her summer studies at Empire State University. Her fellow students--and the teachers at the Orchis-sponsored program--don't realize she's Ms. Marvel. She watches as the intolerance and hatred they've aroused explode into violence. 

 

 

 

The art isn't always as clear and distinct as possible, and backgrounds sometimes suffer. Colors look oddly checkered or pixelated, and purple-shaded characters look flat. The words are small-to-tiny, and I'll be amazed if anyone can read all that Firestar tells Kitty Pryde. It's easy to identify with Ms. Marvel's struggle, but Kitty Pryde steals the show in X-Men #26. 

 

 

 

After their constant arguing in The Invincible Iron Man #9, it's odd to see Tony Stark and Emma Frost heading toward the altar. But like it or not, the wedding bells begin to ring in X-Men #26.

Jean Grey #1 Spotlight

 

As Jean Grey lies dying, her life flashes before her eyes. Images appear, interlock with others, and form a tapestry of memories. She's been a leader among her fellow mutants. Now, she's just another victim of the massacre at the Hellfire Gala.

 

 

 

She wonders: How might things have gone differently? So Jean Grey searches for clues amid past events. She pours through them, looking for mistakes she made. If you're a rabid X-Men fan, you'll likely recognize many of the events featured in Jean Grey #1. If not, you'll be impressed by the strength of her resolve. Despite memories--or re-imaginings of past events--she nonetheless believes she could have prevented the tragedy. 

 

 

 

But then, isn't an unshakeable belief in yourself a hallmark of a hero?

 

Jean Grey #1 is a powerful look at the weight she places upon her shoulders and the responsibility she feels for all mutants.
