X-Men: Age Of Revelation Isn't The Future Of Rising From The Ashes?

What If... X-Men: Age Of Revelation isn't the future of X-Men: Rising From The Ashes after all, but is instead... a shadow? #XSpoilers

XSpoilers XSpoilers XSpoilers XSpoilers XSpoilers XSpoilers… Binary #3 by Stephanie Phillips, Giada Belviso, Amazing X-Men #3 by Jed MacKay, Mahmud Asrar, Laura Kinney: Sabretooth #3 by Erica Schultz, Valentina Pinti, Elena Casagrande and X-Men: Age of Revelation Infinity Comic #5 by Tim Seeley and Phillip Sevy were published by Marvel Comics this week, as the Age Of Revelation event begins to come to an end…

As Laura Kinney is commanded to Arakko, to bring the Arakkii mutants back to Earth, against the will of a certain Apocalypse…

But maybe he's just doing what Revelation wants of him after all.

And he's bringing Charles Xavier with him.

As we learn just what Revelation's plan is…

And what the X-Men's plan was…

Which may have changed someone, but things are at least going in the right direction.

And there is a certain trope in it all that raises its familiar head…

Even if everyone keeps dying… and not just at the skeletal hands of Glob…

Although, to be fair, he does a good job at it…

There is death in every title…

… some are even in hell…

And even if Jean Grey can't die…

…not conceptually at any rate…

…if she merges with someone again…

… turns out that they can. But is there a glitch in this all?

Because while there is time travel, with minds travelling as in Days Of Future Past rather than bodies of All-New X-Men… are we sure they travelled to the right reality?

Because in Age Of Revelation, Magneto was never sick. Never lost his powers. Never was confined to a wheelchair. Has this been a different timeline all along rather than a possible future for the Rising From The Ashes X-Men? Will Shadows Of Tomorrow refer to a tomorrow that could never have been?
