In 1995, Marvel shocked the comics-reading world, canceling all its blockbuster X-titles and replacing them with new series in the transformed reality of the Age of Apocalypse! These tales, by some of the era�s leading creators, introduced fans to radically new versions of the heroes they loved � fighting for survival in a nightmarish dystopia where Charles Xavier is long dead! Professor X was killed twenty years in the past during a freak time-travel accident, and now the Darwinian conqueror Apocalypse rules with an iron fist � ruthlessly enforcing his dictum that only the strong shall survive! In the long shadow of En Sabah Nur, hidden among a downtrodden humankind, are a group of ragtag freedom fighters led by Xavier�s oldest friend: Magneto! They�re amazing, they�re astonishing � but who are the X-Men?! Plus: What has become of iconic mutants Cyclops, Havok and Wolverine in this war-torn world?

Wow, this gets worse sounding by the minute. I loved the AOA but I’ll be skipping this
Dang, was hoping he was back for sequential work.
Thank you Marvel for giving Blink her original design back. I have hated Saladin Ahmad’s Janelle Monae redesign and I am sure I am not the only one.

Almost surprised there wasn’t another AOA wave given the ML love of anniversaries

It really has turned to garbage hasn’t it?
I just can’t. Marvel comics after Quesada era has been a mostly bucket of mess. DC hasn’t been much better. The indie stuff has been nailing it

Lemme guesstheyre going to reveal that Kamala Khan was there the entire time?
I love AoA. I even told Scott Lobdell I had never been happier to eat my words when I picked up the books. Funnily enough, the Marvel Legends Sugar Man wave got me to overcome my initial perception of it and pick up the books. I would have preferred if the series took place before the events of X-Men Alpha. What more can they do. Last I remember, almost every major character from that reality is either dead or M.I.A.
