Recently reread this X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus considerable trepidation, fearing that it wouldn't live up to my memory of how good it was when it was first published "Xavier dead?! Why couldn't it have been me instead?! It holds up. There are a few weak issues here and X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus, but, by and large, this remains the gold standard by which I judge all subsequent blockbuster crossover event comics in most cases, they don't live up to this sterling examp Recently reread this with considerable trepidation, fearing that it wouldn't live up to my memory of how good it was when it was first published "Xavier dead?! There are a few weak issues here and there, but, by and large, this remains the gold standard by which I judge all subsequent blockbuster crossover event comics in most cases, they don't live up to this sterling example.

When I found out that this was basically a "What if" story, and that all of the characters were basically different people from who they X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus in the main continuity, I didn't think I would like this very much. As I read it, however, I realized that the premise is actually a really smart move. It allowed the writers to do anything that they wanted. They could maim, kill, change, and destroy anything and everything. And, with our timeline's Bishop running around, it has a connection to th 4. And, with our timeline's Bishop running around, it has a connection to the standard Marvel universe. So this was a huge, awesome, bloody, and touching event that only overstays its welcome by a tiny bit and is certainly worth the read. It's X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus only there, but good chunk of the plot relies on it. I know it was only the mid-'90s at this point, but they had really beat this idea to death and back again even by that point. You don't really get to see Apocalypse in action all that much. Oct 14, Josh rated it did not like it. To sum it up: it's everything that was wrong with mid's comics. X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus previous comics Legion QuestCharles Xavier's son, Legion goes back in time to kill Magneto in an effort to make the world a better place. Charles Xavier, being a do-gooder to the end, interferes and is himself X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus instead. This sets up a future world in which Apocalypse rules. The story line sets up the potential for characters to be re-imagined X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus cool ways. The characters were in fact re-imagined, unfortunately not in cool ways. Is it possible I hated this Scott Summers even more than I already do? The story line isn't much better. There are 8 different comics that make sure the story stays confusing and disjointed throughout. Magneto sends different teams of mutants on different X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus, some of them confusingly pointless. Question: If the whole fix for this reality is to go back and change the past so that this reality doesn't exist, why waste effort on stopping cullings and fighting Apocalypse? Why not just focus all efforts on making this reality non-existent? Worst of all, it suffers the fate of a lot of alternate reality story lines: ultimately we know that the alternate reality is just that - alternate. As a result, we don't care when a hero dies because we know the deus ex machina will fix it. This is especially true when the alternate characters you're given are unlikable. If you're thinking of reading this story line for the purpose of getting familiar with continuity as I wasI suggest you just read a good summary on Wikipedia and call it good. View all 4 comments. X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus 29, Aaron rated it it was ok. Well this was certainly an undertaking. I'd never read this classic epic and felt a desire to after reading so much fantastic Apocalypse stuff in Rick Remender's Uncanny X- Force series. The entire, massive crossover is collected in chronological order, which would seem like a good thing, but actually makes it very difficult to follow. There are eight 4-issue series to keep up with, and thus you have 7 issues to read between installments of each individual title. I found myself constantly having Well this was certainly an undertaking. I found myself constantly having to look back and remind myself what the hell had happened in the previous issue. It was a fine idea, as sometimes X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus in one series will affect those in another, but that is so rare and kind of weakly doneI would've preferred to just read this series by series so I could at least follow the story. The two bookend issues, X-Men Alpha and X-Men Omega, were the most fun to read, as they needed little additional explanation. As for the actual story, I didn't think it lived up to the hype. Whenever a series takes place in an alternate universe, I expect a lot. It should give them free reign to do whatever they want, killing off surprising characters, giving characters completely new attributes, etc. Not so here. Basically, nothing very surprising happens and every character is really close to his normal universe counterpart, only maybe a little darker or with, say, one X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus or something. It's not very bold. Also, after pages of buildup and all the character positioning, the climax really only depends on 2 of the characters we've watched, which made me really feel like the previous stories had been a waste. So, overall, ambitious but highly flawed. Mar 23, Adam Smith rated it liked it. I had originally read parts of this story the fracturing of the original Marvel Universe, Weapon X, etc. I never got too into it because there were too many crossovers and I didn't want to have to buy eight different series. This omnibus collects ALL of these stories and presents them in chronological order and I happily picked this tome up from the library. It took me about a month to read, but I have to say that I enjoyed it. X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus by Scott Lobdell JavaScript must be enabled to use this site.
