But the price for stopping the creature may be higher than the X-Men expect. They must use a device that increases their powers a thousand-fold to drive the creature back. A process that could destroy them...or make them insane with power!
Based on the Marvel characters the X-Men
Back in the 90's Marvel released a series called Age of Apocalypse where the heroes of the marvel universe, X-Men in particular, were recreated in a world where Xavier had been killed and Apocalypse had taken control of much of the world. It has since become known as one of Marvel's most successful spin-off series and was both critically acclaimed and fan appreciated.
Now, ten years later, Marvel released this collection of all six New Age of Apocalypse comics and the Age of Apocalypse One shot. The one shot itself does little more than fill in a few gaps from the original story and without the original Age of Apocalypse is of little worth. The six piece mini series however is a continuation/stand alone series that's an interesting new take on the original X-Men, as well as those from the AoA universe. Chris Banchalo's art is what really makes this story worth the money. He offers a new design of all of the previous characters and his art style is fresh and dark, very appropriate for the AoA universe. The story however is where the graphic novel falls apart. Not that it is horrible, but author Akira Yoshida has a few unexplained gaps like how Psylock suddenly became Japanese or how Wolfsbane freed herself of her transitional form. Yoshida leave plenty of spots for action where the artwork really access and in doing so makes up for his misshapes. In the end the story is readable and the artwork is admirable, this book should defiantly be picked up if you're a fan of the original series, or Weapon X (Wolverine) as a lot of the story focuses on him.
The Uncanny X-Men "Divided We Stand," not to be confused with the X-Men "Divided We Stand" book, follows the X-Men as they try to make sense of a post-"Messiah Complex" world.
Professor X is missing (in his own title, X-Men Legacy). Cable escaped with the mutant baby and into his own title. A handful of X-Men are still in outerspace fighting the third Summers brother, Vulcan. So where does this leave Cyclops and the core X-Men?
The X-Men are split into two groups, visiting Russia and San Francisco (the latter of which will become the new X-Men home base). If you've ever wondered if Emma Frost could wear less clothing, wait until you see her dressed as a flower child from the 1960s! The story, by Ed Brubaker, is filled with the usual menagerie of psychic fight scenes and claw-popping action--your standard X-Men fare, compared to Brubaker's past X-Men work. This title has a lot of potential, and this is a solid beginning.
