Longshots #1: Mojo’s Deadly Game Kicks Off the Age of Revelation!

Brace yourself for a wild ride into the chaotic Age of Revelation with Marvel Comics’ Longshots #1, hitting shelves on October 8, 2025! Crafted by acclaimed writers Jonathan Hickman and Gerry Duggan, with dynamic art by Alan Robinson and a jaw-dropping cover by Dustin Weaver, this 32-page, T+-rated issue priced at $4.99 throws readers into a high-stakes, no-rules spectacle orchestrated by the interdimensional tyrant Mojo. Get ready for a twisted tale of survival, betrayal, and mutant mayhem that sets the stage for Marvel’s bold new X-Men era!

A Lethal Game in the Revelation Territories

Set a decade into the future within the Age of Revelation, Longshots #1 unveils a dystopian Marvel Universe reshaped by Doug Ramsey, now the formidable Revelation, heir to Apocalypse. His mutant utopia, the Revelation Territories, dominates Earth, but not everyone bows to his rule. Enter Mojo, the sadistic media mogul from the Mojoverse, who’s cooked up a deadly new “game” to entertain his audience—and line his pockets.

In this brutal arena, an eclectic team of heroes and antiheroes—Wonder Man, Hellcat, Bishop, Kraven the Hunter, and Rhino—are pitted against each other in a fight where only one can survive. Mojo’s rules are simple: there are none. With fame or fatality on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will these unlikely allies band together, or will Mojo’s manipulative schemes tear them apart? As the tagline warns, “Buy this comic, or all of your favorite heroes will die!”—but don’t trust Mojo’s promises of voting for the winner. In his Mojo dojo, only chaos reigns.

A Star-Studded Creative Team

Longshots #1 brings together two of Marvel’s heaviest hitters: Jonathan Hickman, the architect of the Krakoa era, and Gerry Duggan, known for his sharp wit and bold storytelling in titles like Marauders. Their collaboration promises a blend of cerebral world-building and visceral action, perfectly suited for this unhinged narrative. Alan Robinson’s art captures the frenetic energy of Mojo’s deadly game, with vivid character designs and explosive set pieces that leap off the page. The main cover by Dustin Weaver sets the tone with its vibrant chaos, while variant covers by David Baldeón, Ken Lashley (Revelation Variant), Rickie Yagawa (Character Variant), and Junggeun Yoon (1:25 Incentive Variant) make this a collector’s dream.

Tying into the Age of Revelation

Longshots #1 is one of 16 titles launching Marvel’s Age of Revelation, a transformative event that redefines the X-Men line and ripples across the Marvel Universe.
