Book three is the rising of the climax. And thus far in the series, it's the been the most interesting, page-turning, on the-seat's-edge collection. Housing X-Calibre #2-3, Astonishing X-Men #2-4, Generation Next 2-3, X-Man #2-3, Factor X #3, Amazing X-Men #3, Weapon X #3, Gambit & The X-Ternals #3 and X-Universe #1, it brings to light the battle that's looming upon Apocalypse's doorstep - not to mention the one he dropped on the High Human Council and the X-Men.

Part 3 of the Complete Age of Apocalypse saga, providing even more twists to the story, and more annoyances from the ever irritating Morph diluting whatever story is there. Although still a good read with beautiful artwork this volume has been the weakest for me in its storyline and lost much of my attention quite early on.
In this edition you discover the importance of the M’Kraan crystal, which is probably my favourite part in this compilation. It would seem that the M’Kraan escapade is not as ...more

Near the end of this third installment of the collected Age of Apocalypse comic books, things started to move more quickly and coherently. The problem with this whole storyline is a problem that often plagues Marvel and DC's multi-title storylines. Namely they stretch the story across several different comic book titles and thus have a wide variety of writers and artists working on the project. Inevitably there are hundreds of loose threads that get picked up here and there. Thus for a singl...more
Our hereos are trying to fight their way to victory. Scott Summers is finding less and less in common with his masters. Several other Marvel heroes feature and many of the characters are trying to work with what they have to create a better world, but without Professor Xavier things aren't as easy as it might seem.
It's an interesting series. You would need a fairly decent knowledge of the Marvel universe to understand some of the character motivations and changes.

The Age of Apocalypse continues to plague the X-Men. Beset and beseiged by all sides, Magneto puts all of his contingencies into action. The search for the M'Kraan crystal, the end to the human cullings, a search for Destiny, and the addition of a new mutant are all coming to a head. Yet when push comes to shove, it appears that Apocalypse will take home the endgame - sealing off Bishop's hopes of ever returning reality to normal.
It's at least interesting to see artwork by artists form 20 years ago and see how many of them have improved. The cover to this volume is a good example, John Romita Jr. shouldn't have been allowed to turn in such sloppy work, but he got away with it in the mid 90's. HIs work now is amazing.
With so many different writers, it's amazing this flows together as well as it does. This volume continues the goodness from the last.

interesting, kinda dragged on
The comics style is kind of old school. I like that. It's different than what I've been reading recently. It's fun too b/c there were Generation X comics in this collection and I have all the Generation X comics. It's nice to put those issues in context. :)
...kept getting better as the volumes continued. A lot is at stake at this moment in all of the mini-series they've established.
Profesor X mati tanpa pernah sempat membentuk X-Men? Dan sejarah X-Men pun tak pernah menjadi seperti sekarang...
