Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1 shows that no matter the time or who's on the roster, the X-Men will endure due to their resilience. It also offers a new look into one of the biggest eras in X-Men history, and hints at more to come. Read Full Review
Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1 was astounding, and makes me so very excited for the next installment, Giant-Size House of M #1. Read Full Review
The sense of nostalgia is on full-display in the back-up story by Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo, depicting a prelude to the original event featuring Wolverine and Sabretooth. This story seems to be over as soon as it starts but its still a fun few minutes to share with some very different versions of familiar characters. While the craftsmanship of this issue is great, its accessibility is virtually nonexistent. Even if your knowledge of the AoA event is casual, this is the third chapter of a series of sequential one-shots and relies on the reader to already be up-to-speed with these, as well as Kamala Khans current status quo. For all its high points, this book is a glaring example of Marvels current shortcomings: yet another big issue number one that requires a great deal of prior reading to truly understand and enjoy.

Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1 continues the same storyline pattern in a new setting, making the issue feel like a repetitive chapter rather than a meaningful progression. Read Full Review
Decent little B-tier event series, AoA is automatically moderately interesting based on the strength of the world and the original event. I'm still not crazy about Ms. Marvel (the comic version of her anyway, the MCU version's actor is just so good I can't help but like her) or the fact she was changed into a mutant but it's not the end of the world. This book goes through the motions competently enough, nothing special but not bad either. The art is nice. The back-up story was brief but good. I enjoyed it.
At this point, clearly a money grab
Utter crap. The only reason it's not a 1 is Simone Di Meo's art for the 4-page backup story.
