"APOCALYPSE WARS" CONTINUES!
• The ALL-NEW X-MEN are on a mission to write their own futures...and none is more determined to escape their destiny than Evan Sabahnur, who is to one day become the next host for the genocidal villain APOCALYPSE.
• But now, by way of unintentional intervention by his teammate Beast, Evan finds himself thousands of years in the past, in Egypt...and on the run alongside his predecessor, En Sabah Nur, the boy who will one day become Apocalypse himself!
• To change his future, will Evan literally change the course of history?
• Or will h more
It may be a bit too classical in its style, coming across as old-fashioned, but that can be a strength too, if you can let it be as a reader. And while it perhaps has bit too much incident, it's all still balanced enough that none of the scenes feel abbreviated or cut short. Overall, the creative team has created a solid issue that reinforces their attempt to cement a team that are examined well enough to have readers connect with. Read Full Review
This issue explores what happens when Evan buddies up with the teenage En Sabah Nur and realizes that even Apocalypse himself was once an ordinary, even loving boy. It makes for an interesting reality check, but this issue doesn't do much more than reiterate Evan's shock and confusion and chronicle the ancient Egyptian equivalent of a beach trip.

The story is fine for what it is, and does a fine job of putting all the pieces in place for the climax. Watching Evan trying to reconcile his understanding of Apocalypse with his first-hand knowledge of the adolescent En Sabah was a treat. Dialogue is a bit too cute at times, but ultimately inoffensive. Mark Bagley's art is solid as ever, and evokes a classic comics look... almost making me homesick for the way things once were.

Overall this still had some positives, it wasn't so bad that I would drop the series entirely but maybe I'll skip next issue. Apocalypse Wars has gone on for too long, In hindsight, I would recommend skipping All-New X-Men for the duration of the crossover unless you are a fan of either Beast or Evan. Read Full Review
Im enjoyjng this exploration of Evans character.
It may not be a must read but the exploration into Apocalypse and Evan's destiny is entertaining.
