AGE OF REVELATION

Probably winning to jump on board with this..and give the remaining issues a higher rating...but this was mostly set up.
Mutated versions of Havok..Black Cat..Domino..Omega Red..Lady Fantomex and Venom are primed by "Lord" Sinister for a mission.

Actually... Maybe even higher than 4 stars. At least 4.2, maybe even 4.5. My favorite book in this "Age of Revelation" alternate reality event.

Most of these characters aren't exactly my favorites. Of those who appeared, the ones I would normally pick are Havok and Black Cat. Still, there were some decent fight scenes, a sufficient amount of world building, and Sinister was less annoying than he has been for the past decade or so.

I have my usual speech about how the modern Sinister is a perversion. Not the genetic engineering stuff, because I love that. But, his personality has been perverted from how it used to be, say back in the 90s. Someone gave him the Deadpool treatment, meaning that he has to be "snarky," and have moments where he showcases behaviors that are effeminate and/or childish. He has to make pop culture references, or appear flippant in the face of danger. Over and over and over again. Because writers think that those same personality features (over and over and over again) simply are what makes something funny.

But, Sinister was a little less annoying this time. And it is gratifying to watch him act as a team leader, of sorts, and I even agree with his mission. He has recruited some alternate reality fighters as his crew to collect genetic samples for him. I get that.

I have mixed feelings about Havok having yet another alternate reality kid, and this one also appears to be human (again). We already had Havok have a kid with Janet Van Dyne back in Uncanny Avengers, and that Kate Summers might still very well exist somewhere in the multiverse. (Kang probably has her.) She was allegedly "human," which annoys me, because her father was a mutant and her mom was a mutate, so it stands to reason she would have inherited some sort of power. But, anyway, Kate wasn't even the only Havok child we had ever seen. He also had "Scotty" in the Mutant X universe with Madelyn Pryor, as well as some more obscure children by way of Jean Grey in that reality.

This Chris Summers character mostly seems like a rehash of Scotty, who already seemed like a familiar rehash of the AoA character Charlie, who was Magneto and Rogue's son in THAT alternate reality. Both Scotty and Charlie were generic cute white boys being watched over by superpowered nannies, and both gave ominous warnings implying that they were developing telepathic powers.

Now we have Chris Summers, who has the same appearance and body type and is being monitored by the EXACT SAME NANNY as the AoA nanny-bot.

But, I still like this issue anyway, even if it is a bit of a rehash.

Manufactured tension is lazy writing.

AoR Black Cat (Age of Revelation, as all characters are in this 'possible future'), in-uniform as part of AoR Havok's hunting team, had just explained to Misty Knight and Colleen Wing that they weren't the target, merely the bait. And yet when team leader Havok let's Knight and Wing go in favour of directing his team toward their intended target (who, as intended, took the bait), Domino whines about, you know, the entire reason for the operation.

*sigh*

Given the characters involved and the clichéd melodrama, it’s the most predictable tie-in imaginable – so it’s not exactly gripping. What’s more, the artwork is very poor, so there’s not much to recommend it.

This issue of the Sinister Six was a delightful read.
The character interactions were excellent.
The appearance of the heroes for hire Misty Knight
and Colleen Wong was a big surprise.

Cool to see these characters together, but not a lot of substance yet

I really enjoyed the 1st issue. I hope the rest of the series stays just as entertaining.
