In this tale we witness the demise of Death one of the horsemen of apocalypse
I like the idea of going back and telling the tale of the demise of the original horsemen
morph is a comedian but i don't know why i don't really like him very much his jokes are always told in the wrong time and they mean it to be that way but it annoys me as much as it annoys sabertooth lol
its also nice to see rogue let go like this she is in love she is not afraid to touch magneto or use her powers in battle its sweet
i still hate the fact that they made a noble cyclops while they turned most of his comrades to villains

Cuaderno de historietas con ISBN propio. Formó parte de la saga de La Era de Apocalipsis.

This untold tale from the AoA is slightly off in its portrayal of the great X-Men saga. While light is shed on Blink's past and the fate of the Inhumans, this book feels more like an attempt at shoehorning in underplayed characters. I enjoy Blink, Morph, Sunfire, and the X-cast, but this tome could have been better.
