Marvel Comics and X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation #1 Spoilers and Review follows.
Mutants Get Religion Sorta As…
…A New X-Men Team Emerges!
The book includes a storyline catch-up from the Nightcrawler led Way of X series as part of…
…a page with a dramatis personae and creators credits.
Looks like Onslaught’s scheming…
…has enveloped Professor X Charles Xavier for some time…
…with the once esteemed mentor and leader of the X-Men seemingly deleting those mutants he wishes from a database of sorts so that they do benefit from the resurrection protocol?!
In case you’re not familiar with Onslaught below is a classic Marvel Handbook Who’s Who type bio for the character.
Anyhow, back to our story…
…Onslaught is planning for a bloodbath at…
…an X-Celebration or an X-Rave of sorts!
Magneto is freed from is mental fog and wants to go after his Professor X who runs off (in a very uncharacteristic Charles Xavier way)…
…Onslaught’s party bloodbath plans are ruined, but…
…he decides to reconstitute himself in a new less cool look than his OG self.
Nightcrawler has a plan…
…involving a new Way of X, not a religion, that…
…seems to key to…
…crushing Onslaught quite literally.
The book ends with a tease of a new Legionaires X-team, but…
…whatever they are called they aren’t a religious cult or police, but they debut in 2022 with Juggernaut too!
The Pulse:
Solid art, decent plot, but confusing characterization. I am intrigued by what is to come with a few X-books have been on the chopping black in recent months including, seemingly, Way of X. Cool to see Onslaught back, but was hoping for more of him. 6 out of 10.
