As someone who prides himself on being wide-read I try to broaden my horizons and read all over the joint. Of course it helps if you enjoy the various stories you discover. And I have in particular a penchant for the graphic novels by marvel and DC featuring superheroes. So naturally I was drawn to this work featuring the X-Men and of course one of the greatest villains they have ever faced: Apocalypse.

And so concludes the epic that I never came around to finishing as a teenager - with the bad guys losing (except for those who got away) and the heroes winning (only to watch the world they know end).
Much like book one, the final collection of the Age of Apocalypse epic contains what I'd like to call filler - stories related to the epic, but not a part of it. It collects the fourth and final issues of Generation Next, X-Calibre, Factor X, Gambit and the X-Ternals, Amazing X-Men, Weapo...more

The final book of the original Age of Apocalypse series with more wonderful artwork and gripping action, this graphic novel is the often grim conclusion to one of the most popular X-Men Saga’s of all time.
As all the running scenarios in this dimension come to a close you encounter desperate bids for survival and a great many sacrifices in an attempt to overthrow Apocalypse. There are some moments which are nothing short of tragic specifically in the X-Men Omega: Endings comic.

The conclusion of the Age of Apocalypse Epic was more satisfying than the beginning, but as I wrote in my review of X-Men: The Complete Age of Apocalypse Epic Book 3 the whole endeavor was a mixed bag. With so many writers over so many titles, the plot line was a bit of a mess. The best bits were a meditation on the nature of sacrifice and heroism in the face of an unforgiving world. Good superhero comic fare, but not great works which comics occasionally rise to.

Volume IV of this X-Men saga provides an awesome conclusion to one of my favorite story arcs. In a different world, where Charles Xavier died and the X-Men never formed, a mutant named Apocalypse rose up and assumed control of the world, leading mutants against humans in a savage battle of "suvival of the fittest". The world is filled with familiar faces but no one is as you remember them. In this final volume, all of Magneto's plans are coming together in a final attempt to bring a...more
The end of days is here! As Magneto and his X-Men fight valiantly for their world, Bishop attempts to prevent this timeline from ever happening by stopping the death of Charles Xavier in the past. A satisfying conclusion to the storyline that altered the X-Men for a new era. Sad to see it go, but a worthy addition to the mark of X.
The Age of Apocalypse saga draws to a close and people have to choose what side they are going to be on. More and more it looks like its going to be difficult to survive and a hope for a better world lives in the hearts of the x-men.
The Age of Apocalypse was one of those crazy Marvel X-Men crossovers that basically took place every year and, in my opinion, I think it was the best one. It didn't necessarily have any universe altering events, outside of introducing a few characters into the regular Marvel universe, but most the books were well written. Despite the fact that there are something like 30-40 books total for the crossover, they all seemed to gel and flow together, providing interesting stories for the individual b...more
Sure, it could have been better, and it seems the writers took the safe route, but this is a fitting conclusion to the Apocalypse saga.
Oh thank God it's over. I haven't read too many recent X-Titles, but I know the art and writing can only go up from here.

My favorite X-Men stories. Joe Mad is my favorite artist.
This collection isn't as thick as volume three. Three leads into this finally, but there are some extra comic issues tossed in here to fill up a book, but, it's a great ending, and I rated it by the ending.
Suka X-Men? Wajib baca ini!
