Issue #20 provides some good set up, and is a much needed recentering after the climax of the previous arc. Peachs art remains stellar and she manages to slow things down while at the same time ramping up the tension for what is coming up ahead.

Issue 17 is easily on the level of its predecessor in terms of story and character. Overall its one of the best issues in the series.

Amazing X-Men #2 is another solid entry on this long and winding road. The characters motivations are clear and the art continues to flow through the book. If there is any Age of Revelation book to read, its this one.

Ultimate X-Men #18begins its road to what can only be described as the book's climax, putting the pieces in place for what is sure to be an explosive finale down the line. It is truly the calm before the storm.

Ultimates #16 is definitely another highlight issue in what is arguably the best book in the line. The story arrives at a perfect time given the current state of America today, as well as subtly push the story forward as we continue to head towards Ultimate Endgame. Only two months remain.

Ultimate X-Men #21 is a pretty standard entry as we near the end of the series. While Kageyamas origin of sorts is kind of late in the game, it was still good to finally see it.

Monstress #60 is a fitting end to the most recent arc of the nearly decade long series with plenty to chew on as it takes on its typical arc-ending sabbatical until 2026.

Ultimates #15 continues the quality that the book has become known for since the beginning. With plenty of character, lore, and fun action to keep readers craving more. The tide is beginning to shift, but the waters only get rougher from here.

The first issue of Expatriate X-Men sets itself up as worthwhile read with an interesting cast and plenty of mystery as our crew navigates the Revelation Territories. We can only speculate who will make it out when they reach Limbo.

Sinisters Six is a standard start to a formula that has been seen before, even in this event, but what carries it is its choice of characters and art. Even with this seeming redundancy, it gives you just enough to check back in for the next issue.

Omega Kids #1 so far is one of the more interesting books of this current event. With a solid story and good art to keep the pace, it could become one of the best books when its all said and done.

Rogue Storm #1 has a solid enough hook to keep the pages turning, but the revelation of one of its main characters and the notable absence of the other can make for a puzzling experience. Though there is enough here to keep one digging through the surface just a bit.

Ultimate Hawkeye is fun enough romp with an equally fun character. Worth the read if youre a fan of Charli, but theres nothing vital in these pages if you decide to skip it as well.

World of Revelation is a solid peek into characters who are not exactly at the center of the event, with a range of character and creatives bringing different corners of the frightening world to light. Your enjoyment of the stories will vary, but the overall vision is a solid one.

Ultimate Wolverine continues to tell its story in bloody fashion, and as long as you ignore the X-Men shaped elephant in the room, the book remains a fun ride.

Longshots #1 is a fun time in a world gone extinct, but it will come off as jarring if youre trying to keep your Age of Revelation read more on the serious side.

Overall, MMPR/TMNT III starts out as more of the same from the first two outings, though noticeably not as strong as those first issues. Still a fun read for fans of both series, but not a great starting point for new readers.

The Last Wolverine isnt going to wow you if you havent been keeping up with the solo Wolverine series, but it does an effective job as an opening chapter to this story.

Battleworld #1 isnt a comic that will demand your attention, but its a fun time nonetheless if youre willing to take the time to check it out.

Ultimate Wolverine #10 sadly remains more of the same. The endgame is coming, but the formula is starting to grow stale. While the action scenes are fun to see (as short as they are) its the characters that continue to fall behind the narrative.

Longshots is a very unserious book, as with most things that feature Mojo, but as we dig deeper and deeper into just how bad things really are, it can be hard to justify finding where this one fits.
