What Happened To The X-Men In This Week's Age of Revelation? XSpoilers

What Happened To The X-Men In This Week's Age of Revelation? XSpoilers aplenty....

As well as four Ultimate Universe books this week, Marvel has four Age Of Revelation titles out too. I wonder how that will play out on the Bestseller list on Saturday? Radioactive Spider-Man #1 by Joe Kelly, Kev Walker, Omega Kids #1 by Tony Fleecs, Andres Genolet, X-Men: Book of Revelation #1 by Jed MacKay, Netho Diaz and The Last Wolverine #1 by Saladin Ahmed, Edgar Salazar are all published by Marvel Comics today. Some spoilers, but we'll save the big revelations for later…

X-Men: Book of Revelation #1 by Jed MacKay and Netho Diaz is the most Revelatory of the books out this week, looking at how this new world is run, right from the top, from the point of view of a new mutant, a Chorister, with the power to boost other mutantss' powers, and part of the team that has seen Doug Ramsey step up as Revelation and control the world.

And as Omega Kids #1 by Tony Fleecs and Andres Genolet reminds us, the penalty for opposition, is the removal of language and all associated reasoning skills.

And as The Last Wolverine #1 by Saladin Ahmed and Edgar Salazar shows us with Wendigo, Doug Ramsey did something even worse to Wolverine, turning him into a dumb, expert killing machine. His very own bulldog. But not all are so controlled.

Quentin Quire did it all himself. And just to be sure, he has someone to check in on him.

Phoebe Cuckoo, helping make sure the kids are alright. And Quentin as well. Notably the Cuckoos are now down to three…

Is he wearing the Doug Ramsey Was Right shirt now?

Doug Ramsey didn't touch Spider-Man directly, just getting him hit with the X-Virus in a rather unique fashion. And what's under that costume?

Multiple arms, spikes, hairs, bits and holes. So what led him to this look?

He's always been a Radioactive Spider-Man, now he's an even more Radioactive Spider-Man and a bit of a vampire in the process. But back to the Book Of Revelation.

As Revelation looks to other worlds. As Death, horseman of Apocalypse, from the planet Mars – or Arakko – makes his arrival. And, as seen in previous issues of World Of Apocalypse, his wife Bei betrayed Revalation to Apocalypse, a message delivered and received by Charles Xavier, and handed to Apocalypse, the being who made Revelation who he is now…

And Dougy has disappointed his Daddy. And alongside Apocalypse, Revelation, Horsemen, we need more Biblical references…

An Abomination? Who does this Death think he is, Graham Nolan?

And what Doug Ramsey says, people have to do. So those who want to fight it, have to find ways of avoiding detection.

As those families of those who have been Babelled find a way to avoid being sent to the cornfield, and detected by Quentin Quire and the Omega Kids.

In a fashion that seems reminiscent of one of Black Mirror's finest episodes, Shut Up And Dance.

While we get to the divisions in play in New York, courtesy of former X-Man Cecilia Reyes. The penthouses for the mutants… and the humans in the tunnels, where the Morlocks once were. A reversal of fortune.

Of course, you could just run off to Canada instead.

With the Wendigo no longer eating people and instead cosplaying as Wolverine. But we see some other aspects of Doug Ramsey's legacy with religious implications…

He took away Kurt Wagner's demonic mutant form with but a word. Kept him with his language, but that's all…

While others fight for the babelled…

It's only the mutants or mutated who are surviving and fighting in the Revelation Territories.

Or, indeed, kissing. Because this is no longer about the X-Men.

They're in Canada…

It's about the whole world. And what the old world left behind…

Of course, Mister Sinsister would have a genetic cache in New York. Radioactive Spider-Man #1 by Joe Kelly, Kev Walker, Omega Kids #1 by Tony Fleecs, Andres Genolet, X-Men: Book of Revelation #1 by Jed MacKay, Netho Diaz and The Last Wolverine #1 by Saladin Ahmed, Edgar Salazar are all published by Marvel Comics today.
