Is it really necessary, given that they already did another prologue in the collected Point One one shot?īUY Uncanny X-Force #19. The only thing about this that throws me off is that, if I remember correctly, Marvel’s “Point One” initiative was designed to give new readers the perfect “jumping-on point” to a series, yet this issue promotes an entirely new series. If you want a story somewhat removed from the typical, mainstream X-Men fare, Age of Apocalypse is definitely for you. It’s crisp, clean and reminds me of the more basic comic art of yesteryear - not unlike what you typically see in Uncanny X-Force. Times are tough and comic prices ain’t what they used to be, you dig? Even if Remender couldn’t write well, this book could almost sell on the merit of Billy Tan and Jose Villarrubia’s artwork alone. This time, the team is not sanctioned by Cyclops and operates in secret to. In all honesty, the only thing keeping me from being a regular Age of Apocalypse reader is the amount of books already on my pull list. 'Aint no man can fight against who he is forever.' Written by Rick Remender, in the aftermath of the Second Coming crossover, the X-Force title underwent another, albeit smaller, relaunch as the Uncanny X-Force. This is as well-written as anything else he’s done. If you’ve read my reviews before, you already know how I feel about Remender’s writing. This plan kind of works, but of course it goes wrong big time or you wouldn’t have any reason to follow the series. Their plan is to have Jean Grey use this clone’s powers to have her do the same in their universe to wipe all mutants of their powers. Earth-616, the mainstream Marvel continuity). In Uncanny X-Men #19.1, it’s revealed that The Exterminated (a human resistance group led by William Stryker and the daughter of Bolivar Trask) have cloned the Scarlet Witch after discovering that she was able to “cure” the X-Gene in an alternate universe (i.e. All I know based on what I’ve read in Uncanny X-Force is that Apocalypse fell at some point and Wolverine took his place as the new Apocalypse, continuing to hunt down and exterminate humanity. It’s something I’ve been meaning to go back and do, but I haven’t done it yet. I’ll admit right now that I’ve never read the original “Age of Apocalypse” stories.

This very basic plot description all played out in a 1995-1996 crossover event in the X-Men books that were being published at the time. As a result, Apocalypse ended up taking over the world (hence the name) and Magneto led a group of X-Men against him. Here’s the synopsis: There’s an alternate reality in the Marvel Universe referred to as the “Age of Apocalypse.” In this reality, Charles Xavier died, and his dream along with him. Essentially, this is the second prologue written for the series, as the first appeared in the Marvel: Point One one-shot. Spinning out of Rick Remender’s recent “Dark Angel Saga” in Uncanny X-Force is the new ongoing Age of Apocalypse series, and Uncanny X-Force #19.1 is essentially a prologue designed to draw in readers for that series.

It’s about fate and free will, as against the sheer force of nature. It’s about optimism competing against cynicism. In which Onslaught is a party that goes on way too long we are grateful that the Hand is mostly someone else’s problem there’s always time to get hosed down by firemen and Emma Frost should never, under any circumstances, cook.
