But with the story coming to its end, the publisher is setting the stage for what comes next in X-Men #23, the epilogue for &#8216;Age of Revelation.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The issue marks the return of artist Tony Daniel to Marvel Comics for his first interior work for the publisher in decades. Daniel&#8217;s return to the X-Men franchise is especially cool coming on the heels of &#8216;Age of Revelation,&#8217; as some of his last Marvel work was part of 1995&#8217;s &#8216;Age of Apocalypse&#8217; the precursor to the current event.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-seasonal\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"068b6d5a-3923-427e-bc10-ad430b31e011-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Here&#8217;s an exclusive preview of X-Men #23, which is written by Jed MacKay, featuring several pages of Tony Daniel&#8217;s art along with a new variant cover for the issue by Ivan Talavera:<\/p>\n<p>You may like<\/p>\n<p>Image 1 of 4<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2iD8BSTMLHaSWpiCjnc5AK.jpg\" alt=\"Cyclops and the X-Men under attack by Doug Ramsey\"   class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2iD8BSTMLHaSWpiCjnc5AK.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2iD8BSTMLHaSWpiCjnc5AK.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2iD8BSTMLHaSWpiCjnc5AK.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\"\/>(Image credit: Marvel Comics)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/n5rmwfjnSgz8Mk6ojg2z8K.jpg\" alt=\"Cyclops blasting Doug Ramsey with his eye-beams\"   class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/n5rmwfjnSgz8Mk6ojg2z8K.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/n5rmwfjnSgz8Mk6ojg2z8K.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/n5rmwfjnSgz8Mk6ojg2z8K.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\"\/>(Image credit: Marvel Comics)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/z4epjM6RkWzWUFhH6g7z8K.jpg\" alt=\"Cyclops brandishing Magik's Soul Sword against Cypher\"   class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/z4epjM6RkWzWUFhH6g7z8K.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/z4epjM6RkWzWUFhH6g7z8K.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/z4epjM6RkWzWUFhH6g7z8K.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\"\/>(Image credit: Marvel Comics)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/shmcNwMGgyhz5YPp2McG68.jpg\" alt=\"Magik posing with her Soul Sword\"   class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/shmcNwMGgyhz5YPp2McG68.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/shmcNwMGgyhz5YPp2McG68.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/shmcNwMGgyhz5YPp2McG68.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\"\/>(Image credit: Marvel Comics)<\/p>\n<p id=\"4c8d88c0-b4f1-4a2b-9fff-50e9342113f3\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a bit of a pinch-me moment for me! It seems my career has turned full circle, having started my career at Marvel on X-Force, when I was fresh out of high school. It was a dream back then as it is for me right now, on X-Men!&#8221; says Daniel in a statement. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t be happier putting pencil to paper on the series that inspired me to pursue this profession since I first laid eyes on a tattered copy of Giant-Size X-Men a classmate brought to school in the fourth grade. I fell in love immediately and began drawing my favorite mutants on whatever paper I could find.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And it is incredibly exciting to work with Jed MacKay, who I&#8217;ve been a big fan of for several years now. Reading his stories, I thought of how great it must be for his artists to work with him,&#8221; Daniel continues. &#8220;The way Jed constructs his stories is an artist&#8217;s dream! Jed has an amazing balance of big action and character development that I think is not just fun for the artists, but also for the fans. Jed gets what makes great comics. If we&#8217;re having fun, the fans will too. I think there&#8217;s a lot of fun coming from X-Men!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>X-Men #23 goes on sale January 7.
