I have not yet read volumes 2-4, so this is really a review of just this volume. Overall, I was underwhelmed. There are good moments and moments of promise, but ultimately this is a set of stories of varying quality cobbled together for a complete collection.

The Tales from the Age of Apocalypse (Sinister Bloodlines and By the Light) are the high points. They center on Cyclops and Blink, respectively, and tell well thought, engaging stories about how these two fit into the world. The stories are bigger than the individual characters, but those characters provide the main takeaways.

Then there are the two X-Men Chronicles. The first is pretty good, telling a story about Magneto assembling the X-Men and their first battle. It is interesting and lays out the characters. ... Read More

This is a prime example of why people left comics. Publishers thought they could publish terrible art with writing lacking any substance and people would buy it, regardless.
Yes, there is always mediocre comics published today, but they are not as plentiful as back in the '90's.
This story and artwork hurt my stomach and heart, for I love comics. Do yourselves a favor and read Mike Carey's X-Men or Ed Brubaker's Uncanny X-Men.

The Age of Apocalypse satisfies the inherent "What-If?" cravings that most readers are prey to: what is professor Xavier had died and his dream along with him? The Age of Apocalypse answers this questions in the most dramatic way possible.

First off, the technical issues: as mentioned, although this is labeled Book 2 by Marvel, it is in fact "Book 1", with the actual Book 1 containing one-off or self-contained stories that are not continuous in the main storyline. You may pick up this book without the previous one and not feel like you just jumped in midway.

... assuming you are already familiar with the X-Universe. There are at least 50 Characters in this Graphic Novel, almost all of whom are modified versions of existing characters in the mainstream Marvel Universe. As a casual ... Read More

Caps the end of a truly interesting time in Marvel's history. The reimagining of various X-Men characters, coupled with an updated history of many other Marvel icons, bring this memorable series to a close. This issue continues with much of the high drama from earlier issues and leads to many satisifying conclusions along with quite a number of tragic ones. A truly great read!

in volume 4 the age of apocalypse comes to an end in the issue xmen omega. however for some reason there are more issues included afterwards that really have little to do with AoA. the AoA series is great but i think these collections could have been better. they could have left out some of the stuff in volume one and all the stuff after xmen omega in volume 4 and made it into three volumes.

I'm glad that marvel has finally released this whole series in graphic novel form. It's about time that they did because it is such a pivitol time in the x-men history. It is one of the pieces that connects most of the more recent events in the marvel timeline. Highly recommended for any x-fan.

I can barely slog my way through this book. Heavy on dialogue, light on sense, plot, story. This is the reason that the X-men needed a reboot, which thankfully was done by Grant Morrison and Joss Whedon. This book is a horrific collection of stories written by Chris Claremont, Scott Lobdell, sadly, Robert Weinberg and Joe Pruett, both of whom show much more talent when not doing X-men comics.

My son hates to read and was very upset when he found out that I bought him books as a present. After his 2 hour tantrum he finally sat down and looked at them. Needless to say that night before bed he told me I could buy him some more because he had read them all! Now he reads everything he can get his hands on. Because the book's stories are designed in a comic book fashion it held his interest. Thank you Hardy Boys!
