"The Age of Apocalypse saga draws to a close and people have to choose what side they are going to be on. More and more it looks like its going to be difficult to survive and a hope for a better world lives in the hearts of the x-men."
"This collection isn't as thick as volume three. Three leads into this finally, but there are some extra comic issues tossed in here to fill up a book, but, it's a great ending, and I rated it by the ending."
"Volume IV of this X-Men saga provides an awesome conclusion to one of my favorite story arcs. In a different world, where Charles Xavier died and the X-Men never formed, a mutant named Apocalypse rose up and assumed control of the world, leading mutants against humans in a savage battle of "suvival of the fittest". The world is filled with familiar faces but no one is as you remember them. In this final volume, all of Magneto's plans are coming together in a final attempt to bring an end Apocalypse's reign.
The series incorporates issues from Generation Next, Weapon X, The Amazing X-Men, and more. Everyone has a role to play in the world where Apocalypse rules and one of the best aspects is seeing how the characters have changed in a world without Xavier's influence. Magneto and Rogue have a son together and lead the modern incarnation of the "X-Men". Cyclops was once a Prelate working for Apocalypse himself and Beast was one of Apocalypse's top genetic scientists, performing horrible experiments on mutant and human prisoners. Though, as much as I enjoyed the Age of Apocalypse issues, my favorite issue included in this collection would most likely be X-Men Prime, which gives us a glimpse into the regular Marvel universe after the events in the Apocalypse timeline unfolded and introduces the Legacy Virus as it's existence is made public, starting a whole new storyline.
Everything comes together in this collection as Colossus and Shadowcat lead an assault on the power core that ends in tragedy, Nate Summers confronts Mister Sinister about the truth of his past, Cyclops and Jean free the prisoners from the pens before the potential test subjects can be slaughtered, and more. One interesting inclusion I found in this saga was that of X-Universe, which follows the events surround the humans and their part in the saga. This angle included non-X-Men characters and explained where their fate took them with Apocalypse's existence (i.e. the Fantastic Four never became fantastic).
The Age of Apocalypse saga is a must read for any X-Men fan. It's story is engaging, the artwork is fantastic, and, if you're like me, you'll have a hard time putting this collection down until you reach the end. I just wish they had put VOLUME 4 somewhere on the book over than the tiny notation on the spine; it was a bit frustrating when I got it home and realized that it was not, in fact, the complete epic as advertised on the front...but the last 25% of it. So, avoid making the same mistake and try to enjoy this saga from the beginning."
