Check Out All Three Versions Of Joe Madureira First Variant Cover for X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1.

The Age of Apocalypse, the revolutionary ‘90s X-Men crossover, is reborn this September 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.

Last month, Marvel Comics announced that Joe Madureira, another superstar creator who brought Age of Apocalypse to life, will draw a variant cover for each issue.

Madureira transformed the look of the X-Books throughout the ‘90s with his distinct and innovative art style. Now, this highly influential artist returns to the franchise for the first time in decades with glorious depictions of the very characters he defined—the iconic X-Men of the Age of Apocalypse!

The first of Madureira’s covers, for X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1, will also be available as two different virgin variant covers, one bloodier than the regular version and one in black and white. Fans can see all three versions of Joe Madureira’s X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1 cover today.

Madureira said in a Marvepress release:

“I am beyond excited to be dipping back into this corner of the X-Men universe. I was literally a kid when I drew the Astonishing X-Men—it feels like several lifetimes ago, and I want to bring something new to these characters on my covers. Hopefully I can do justice to Simone’s incredible, explosive pages!”

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!

Mirroring the first AGE OF APOCALYPSE saga, X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE will kick off in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1, continue through X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE #1-4 starting in November, and conclude in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE OMEGA #1.
