X-Men Age Of Revelation To Last Until End Of February 2026?

X-Men: Age Of Revelation To Last Until End Of February 2026? And what's with Ransom, Temper, Dome and Spider-Girl?

Marvel Comics media partner IGN had writer Jesse Schedeen report on the upcoming X-Men: Age Of Revelation event, with details on the renamed/rebooted Uncanny X-Men as Unbreakable X-Men. "Readers can expect the crossover to last through the end of February 2026, at which point we'll probably see the return of some ongoing X-books and the debuts of other new ones." Which is longer than some may have thought, as it kicks off at the beginning of October with X-Men: Overture.

And Gail Simone, writer of Uncanny and Unbreakable, was on hand to sell that book in particular. "Even if you're not reading Uncanny, this is a BIG Marvel story. It's got cosmic characters, it's got silver fox Namor, who has evolved to be more Atlantean, it's got giant fights, it's got romance and heartbreak and more. The big question is: is Mister Waffles, the sentinel dog, still around?… I think we all need that message, that even when things are melting all around you, you're still essential, you have to try to survive…. I don't really want to write dystopian stories, as a rule. So my spin on this is about the survivors. I think we all need that message, that even when things are melting all around you, you're still essential, you have to try to survive. We have to outlive the bastards and the hellscape. My writing has been about that since I first sat down to write a comic, really…. Gambit's not the only familiar face in the story. It's just that everyone's handled the intervening decade differently. An X-Man is breakable, the X-Men are not…Look for Ransom, Temper, Dome and Spider-Girl right away. And a new X-Man, as well."
