X-Men Age Of Revelation Sorts Out Magik… But What About Firestar?

X-Men Age Of Revelation Sorts Out Magik, Rogue and Gambit... but what about Firestar? XSpoilers XSpoilers XSpoilers

Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers… For the mid-point of X-Men: Age Of Revelation's final event crossover month, just about, we get Unbreakable X-Men #3 by Gail Simone, Davide Tinto, Luciano Vecchio, Mario Santoro, R.B. Silva, Tiago Palma and Lucas Werneck, Iron & Frost #3 by Cavan Scott, Ryan Brown and Ruairi Coleman, Longshots #3 by Gerry Duggan, Jonathan Hickman and Alan Robinson, Sinister's Six #3 by David Marquez and Rafael Loureiro and X-Men: Age of Revelation Infinity Comic #6 by Tim Seeley and Phillip Sevy. 

Now this is a parallel-ish future universe. So things will go down differently. And even as Magik gets her demonic shit together, splitting herself in two to manipulate her death better, this was never going to pacify Magickl fans calling for Tim Seeley's head. But they have nothing on Firestar fans. And when they read Iron & Frost #3…

… and work out where Tony Stark, the future-mutated Iron King is getting his immense power boosts from…

I mean, Cavan Scott, get off social media now. The Angelica Jones brigade will be storming BlueSky to find you.

As Longshots lampshades many of the criticisms…

It's left to Sinister's Six to try and tackle the actual threat of the X-Virus, as Revelation removes the power of speech and coherent thought from the one it might affect the most…

As we get to see someone from below condemn the mutants from above…

… just as much as anyone else from above does. But who will be believed?

So as Magik takes the kind of revenge that many may have wanted from her, even if this is not the way they may have wanted it…

So Gambit has no one to take his revenge against, but circumstance and his own decisions…,

Well, they couldn't leave it like that, could they? Mojo knows what's what, if they are going to give Magik her moment…

Mojo knows what the fans really want, and that happens to be Gambit and Rogue, regardless of the part of the future they are in.

And as Magik – or the Darkchild – now takes her part in the X-Men Age Of Revelation timeline, to be resolved in weeks to come…

Some people are already trying to put things back the way they were…

Of course the AI version of Tony Stark is going to mess around with time travel, especially in an X-Men comic book. Spiral knows…

Even while the Amazing X-Men are engaging in time travel and mind swaps in an attempt to alter the past…

It looks like Tony Stark is ahead of the game. And what is next? Well, it seems like the X-Men: Age of Revelation Infinity Comic isn't done with this reality yet…

…where it doesn't look good for the Amazing X-Men's Glob. For everyone else, however…

… there's a big finale to come. As well as a few remaining issue 3s…
