The Apocalypse era is the X-Men storyline that I had mixed feelings about. “What if Charles Xavier didn’t form the X-Men?” A great thought experiment, and the exile – one of my favorite comics would not exist without it. It’s one of the comics that was overreached in the ’90s’ relatives. But the huge size of Age of Apocalypse #1 will give you a story that will hit you hard when you’re not expecting it.
Following the events of the giant sized Dark Phoenix #1, Ms. Marvel and the future legions were drawn into the age of the Apocalypse Timeline. To make matters worse, they arrived the day before the X-Men took the apocalypse in the final battle. Kamala feels at the end of the ropes…until she found unlikely inspiration after meeting the X-Men of the time, especially the Rogue. By exploring Kamala’s connection to the X-Men, Colin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing have confirmed that the huge-sized saga doesn’t just go down the lane of memories. The giant-sized X-Men (2025) #1 again showed binding with the Cyclops.
For a hugely sized apocalypse, the bond between Kamala and Rogue isn’t just something that makes sense, but it turns out to be crucial. Rogue is one person who can admit that Kamala has doubts about his ability to stop Legion and how rough it is to be a mutant. If there are any X-Men who can understand that struggle, it’s injustice. At the other end of the spectrum, he is no longer human, so all attempts to reach Legion end with failure. Lanzing and Kelly maintain a balanced act throughout the matter, bringing moments of victory and tragedy.
Amazing
It’s all enhanced by an impressive combination of artwork by CF Villa and Rafael Roureiro. They both have proven to be great artists, and Loureiro is insanely underrated Dazzler: World Tour and Villa are caught up in the amazing work of Avengers and Black Cat. The two create great combos and fill in a bunch of splash pages with high octane actions. Rogues pass through the sky, Apocalypse rush into battle, Macran Crystal literally splits reality. It’s the type of thing that has been made with huge size issues. Edgar Delgado helps set the mood with his colours, bringing a muted palette that places the “Apocalypse” in the “Apocalypse.”
Like most huge size issues, this time there’s a story of “revelation” by Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo. Although it is intended to set the next age of the Apocalypse miniseries later this year, Roeb said, “What will happen in the Apocalypse era? And it won’t hurt Di Meo drawing truly gorgeous images, such as the knockdown between Sabretooth and weapon X, a blood-soaked battle.
Huge-sized Apocalypse #1 shows that the X-Men endure for resilience, even when they are on time or on the roster. It also offers a new look that one of the biggest eras in X-Men history, suggesting more in the future. This may be the world depicting the end of the mutant kind, but it feels like Marvel will only begin in regards to revisiting the Age of Apocalypse.
