Marvel.com has just revealed the structure of Apocalypse Wars, the next event to spread across all three of its major X-Men titles.


It begins in Extraordinary X-Men #8, with Storm leading the primary X-Men team on a time-travel adventure. Time travel was a key factor in Age of Apocalypse, so this hearkens back to that classic story.


The story continues when Magneto's Uncanny X-Men, in issue #6, notice the growing darkness of their comrade Archangel. As a former Horseman of Apocalypse and an avatar of Apocalypse himself, it's easy to see why his sudden shift in personality might be related to the even darker villain.

Events will continue to play out in All-New X-Men #9. Evan Sabanhur, mild mannered kid clone of Apocalypse, will face his own demons about what he could one day become.
