X-Men Onslaught Revelation #1 Preview: More Millennial Nostalgia Bait

X-Men Onslaught Revelation #1 is in stores from Marvel Comics on Wednesday, tugging at the heartstrings of aging millennials with some sweet 90s nostalgia. Rehashing events of the past is, as we all know, one of Joe Quesada's 22 Cheap Sales-Boosting Gimmicks That Always Work, a list of tactics that every good Marvel Editor keeps on hand at all times to increase sales of comics, irrespective of desire to actually read the comics themselves, which is a secondary concern. You know what they say about Marvel readers: there's one born every minute!

But just because Onslaught Revelation makes use of one of the fabled 22 Gimmicks doesn't mean the comic won't be good. It just means it will rack up the sweet sales numbers required to please the corporate bean-counters at Disney while helping elder millennials relive their fleeting youth. We've got a preview below so you can judge for yourself.
