Any one of the threads in this issue would have been much more satisfying if it had been allowed to develop in its own chapter. Eye-Boy, Kitty Pryde and the Son of Apocalypse are each interesting enough to carry their own title. The Age of X-Man begins to draw to a close, and it becomes all too apparent that the scope of the event was made WAY too big to be totally enjoyable. Had the multi-title event been allowed to occupy a slightly smaller space, it could have been brilliant. All that Seeley can manage with an issue like this is a fun and breezy, little dance with elements that have been echoing through Marvels Mutant titles for decades. Given the right scope, The Age of X-Man could have been so much more. Read Full Review

As always, the artwork from any page where Unveil makes an appearance is contrasted wonderfully by the otherwise bleak style and story of the rest of the series and is dazzling in its own right. Read Full Review

Age of X-Man: Apocalypse and the X-Tracts #5:Genesis vs Omega Red! A Light Rider will fall and deep secrets will be revealed in the penultimate chapter. Read Full Review

Overall this issue doesn't contribute much to the mini-series or the event. We get an end to the battle with Omega Red and then there are some secrets that are found out by one of the X-Tracts. Beyond the last page, I would skip this series altogether. Read Full Review

It's a bag of solid premises that deserve far better storytelling in words and art.

At least things are starting to happen.

I wish I’d been stabbed through the chest by Omega Red, then I wouldn’t have had to read this.
