A Fitting End to the Age of Apocalypse

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!

Age of Apocalypse

The complete Age of Apocalypse book 3 collects the real meat of the story. Magneto and his X-Men have all gone their separate ways and now we begin to see each of their individual stories, Nightcrawler's journey to the savage land, Gambit's to the Shi'ar galaxy, Rogue and the Astonishing X-Men head to stop the cullings, ect. We start to get some of the background of some of the new characters in this volume, such as Sunfire's past. We also get to see where the rest of Marvel's heroes have been in X-Universe. Age of Apocalypse was one of Marvel's most successful story arcs and in this volume we can see why. It includes some of marvel's top artist today, Adam Kubert (Ultimate X-Men), Chris Bachalo (X-Men), Joe Madureira (Ultimates 3), and Salvador Larroca (The New Universe) as well as some of the top writers Warren Ellis (Ultimate Galactus), Jeph Loeb (Ultimates 3,4), and Fabian Nicieza (Cable and Deadpool). If you've already checked out volume 2 your for sure going to want to have a look at this volume as well and no true marvel fan should go without them.
