X-Men of Apocalypse #1
SCORE: 67
I went back and forth on whether I should purchase this comic book or
not. I decided to make the purchase of the X-Men of Apocalypse #1 comic
book for $4.99. There are only twenty pages of comic book content
within. That is one of the things that gives me pause about reading any
more of this franchise. There are some real oddity within X-Men of
Apocalypse #1 as well. Advertisements can be found throughout this comic
book.
There are credits on the third page of X-Men of Apocalypse #1. There is
also art on that page. Things get weird on the fourth page. Want to know
why? The fourth page is a dedicated page of credits and the intro. Why
were the credits on the third page then? That makes zero sense to me
personally. The issues families can have with X-Men of Apocalypse #1 are
violence, blood, bad language, and more.
Warning! Spoilers will be a part of the rest of this review. Warning!
The X-Men of Apocalypse meet The Uncanny X-Men in this comic book. The
stakes are made really high in X-Men of Apocalypse #1. Then X-Men of
Apocalypse easily win by putting everyone to sleep. Nate Grey is more
powerful than Professor X in X-Men of Apocalypse #1. Nate gets the
information for Forge out of Professor X's mind.
The X-Men of Apocalypse travel back in time to the start of the college
for mutants and we see the original X-Men. I am unclear what they are
doing there though. There will be another comic book in this series. In
fact near the end of X-Men of Apocalypse #1 there is a page devoted to
the next issue. I am trying to decide if I want to spend that much money
on just twenty pages of comic book content.
The art is decent in X-Men of Apocalypse #1. There are heroes from both
sides that realize the other one is different. There is a bit about the
diverging timelines in X-Men of Apocalypse #1. Ultimately The X-Men of
Apocalypse should not even exist. They are fighting for their survival.
There are mainline versions of themselves in the mainline timeline
though. I figure this franchise will not go on much longer. I looked it
up and there will be six issues.
