After X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1 next month, Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo's thrilling Age of Apocalypse sequel series continues with X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE #1 this November.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- The Age of Apocalypse returns in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE, a six-part event series by legendary scribe Jeph Loeb, a writer behind the original event, and Eisner nominated artist Simone Di Meo. Marking the 30th anniversary of the revolutionary '90s X-Men crossover, X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE will mirror the original epic—kicking off next month in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1, continuing through X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE #1-4, and concluding in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE OMEGA #1. X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1 hits stands in just a few weeks, and today, four covers for X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE #1, on sale in November, are revealed.



Di Meo teases the return of Loeb's iconic co-creation, Nate Grey, A.K.A. X-MAN! Legendary artist Arthur Adams spotlights Rogue, Magneto, and Gambit--the steamy X-Men love triangle that Age of Apocalypse made even more complex! Best-selling cover artist Fanyang delivers a stunning portrait of one of Age of Apocalypse's biggest breakout stars, BLINK. And influential '90s superstar Joe Madureira continues his series of covers featuring the very characters he helped define with an electrifying depiction of Age of Apocalypse's STORM. Another creator behind the original Age of Apocalypse, Madureira returns to the franchise for the first time in decades for this special anniversary event, drawing a variant cover for each issue of X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE. Madureira's covers will also come available as alternate virgin versions.

X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE #1 delivers the showdown fans have been waiting for: THE X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE VS. THE UNCANNY X-MEN! The X-Men of Apocalypse are here in the Marvel Universe – and that's a very bad thing for the Uncanny X-Men!

Taking place in the direct aftermath of the original crossover's explosive finale, X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE reignites the mission of this iconic reality's X-Men as they journey here to ensure their universe's survival. This desperate mission will take them into the main Marvel Universe, where they will come into conflict with their classic counterparts, forever impacting both team's destinies!

"I've been a big fan of Jeph's for years," Di Meo told AIPT in today's X-Men Monday column, which also debuted the lettered preview for X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA. "I read a lot of his books with amazing artists like Joe Madureira. I'm really lucky to work on this project — but sometimes, I also feel under pressure for this reason, because a lot of people know Jeph's work and I need to do my best to create something special with him."

On bringing back Nate Grey, Loeb said, "An Age of Apocalypse celebration wouldn't be complete with X-MAN! I'm thrilled to return to mutantkind's greatest psychic powerhouse, who's caught between two worlds as his home universe collides with his current one—with disastrous results! The X-Men of Apocalypse have arrived, but the Uncanny X-Men aren't going to be the most welcoming…"
