Age of Apocalypse-The Prequel

I have to disagree with the people who think this was an ill advised attempt to rip off the comic reading consumer. Because of their advice I skipped Volume 1 and went directly to Volume 2, and spent a long time trying to figure out what was going on in this counter universe. I now see that if taken as a prequel (because it really doesn't feature Apocalypse) it offers all the background you need to understand what is to follow. It would have made for a more enjoyable read. OK, I do agree that the Blink mini-series was ill placed, but I feel the Marvel team felt they needed to bulk up the book to make it worth the money.

great storyline

this includes all the comic that is associated w/ the AoA storyline so you don't miss a thing. it might be a little confusing for the average reader who has no information to the AoA background, but w/ a little marvel knowledge of the universe and continuities then you will appreciate this collection a lot more.

Believe the hype!!

The book is amazing! It has really good writing and awesome new looks on characters. It is set in the AoA obviously. This is a world where Xavier is no longer around, and everything goes to hell. Mutants are named superior to humans by Apocalypse. There is much talk about this book being "out of order", and that it should not be the first story. I have not read the other books yet. So I don't know how out of order it is. But I read it first anyway, I was not going to let a book called Vol 1 be saved for the final read sorry. In order, out of order whatever it does not take away from this book and its collection of stories. You'll love it a must buy. When Marvel puts out stuff like this, it is what gives it the slight edge over DC.

BUY BUY!!

What can I say Ensabuh Nur is simply amazing as the anti-christ of this book he actually feels that he is God in this Story alot of shocking suff goes on in this story guys who are usually bad are good and the ones who are usually good are bad plus this story arc gave birth to many characters that are around to this day.

Good series

This came out when i went to college and stopped collecting comic books for monetary reasons. I was always a huge X-Fan, and am glad I picked up the whole series. The first book is pretty cool as a retelling of X-Men #1, with Magneto in place of Professor X and Apocalypse filling in for Magneto as the Big Bad.

Read back to back the whole series seems a bit disjointed, but you'll have that with a cross title series. If you are an X-Men lover, and are in for a long story, this is a good series to have.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

It begins here! The critically acclaimed, fan-favorite storyline that rocked the X-Men Universe to its core is collected across four volumes! In a cracked-mirror world ruled by the genocidal mutant despot Apocalypse, only one hope remains: Magneto and his Astonishing X-Men! The first in a four volume series collecting the entire Age of Apocalypse storyline.
