Age of Apocalypse has been previewed by Marvel Comics.
The publisher previously released a cover design for the first issue, and is now offering a first look at Roberto De La Torre's interior artwork on the title.
Age of Apocalypse, written by Dave Lapham, spins out of Marvel's Uncanny X-Force title. The comic takes place in an alternate reality where the Amazing X-Men and the human resistance struggle against the tyranny of Apocalypse.
"This new Age of Apocalypse book does the impossible - it revolutionises an old concept without a reboot," said senior editor Nick Lowe. "If you've been reading Uncanny X-Force, you know where this is coming from and you're already in.
"If you're an Age of Apocalypse junkie, this builds on the alternate universe's mythology in fascinating and troubling ways."
Lowe added: "If you aren't either and just want a ground-breaking, easy-entry book that will challenge everything you know about the X-Men, there hasn't been a better jumping on point."
Age of Apocalypse #1 is released on March 7.
