Okay, so the next X-Event is being teased and it's a Revelation

[icon_uk]

Well, following last years "Heir of Apocalypse" which gave us the rather... unexpected makeover for the twinkiest X-Man who ever twinked, and a new mission statement:



Ominous, yet ambiguous.

Now we have Revelation actually showing up to set something into motion for a later larger event, and it looks like (please, please please) they are going to dump the one aspect of the change which I think (And I confess I am biased) near universal ridicule.

On Sale 2nd July
AFTER APOCALYPSE COMES REVELATION. Doug Ramsey, the heir to Apocalypse, begins his great work as Revelation in X-MEN #19 by Jed MacKay and Netho Díaz, on sale this July. The issue serves as a prelude to a major X-Men storyline launching later this year.

Well, Doug's Revelation looks more like Molecule Man now, but he has the Ramsey hair back, which is a plus, and a better dress sense, which is a relief. Plus, one hopes that Warlock and Bei will make interesting foils, though since we still ahve no idea what Doug's amped up powers are, it's still rather vague.

I wonder if it ties into the hinted future from the recent Cable and Bishop one-shot "Timeslides", where we see a near future where Revelation is in charge... or trying to be.



What have they DONE to you Warlock??



Aaaand we're back to the glam-rock look.



Horsemen? "Age of Revelation"? This seems worryingly derivative Doug, you're better than this!

And in case anyone is still unhappy, let's end with a recent Cypher (with accents of Warlock) by Art Adams that some lucky soul (not me) got on a sketch cover.
