BACK TO WHERE IT BEGAN! The X-Men of Apocalypse have gone back to where it all began in their quest to restore their history! But before they can, it means mixing it up with the original X-Men!
X-Men of Apocalypse #2 is a major step up, pairing Simone Di Meo's powerhouse art with sharper character interplay and more inventive action. By leaning into the tension of mismatched timelines and spotlighting Jean Grey's untapped potential, the issue finds a confident rhythm that the debut lacked. It's a visually stunning reminder of how thrilling time-hopping X-Men stories can be when craft and creativity align. Read Full Review
X-Men of the Apocalypse is a quick and breezy issue, one without too much substance beyond the intriguing conversation between Nate and Phoenix. One can't help but feel this should have been an X-Man mini rather than an Age of Apocalypse one, but visually it is striking and showcases some different characters than normal. Read Full Review
X-Men of Apocalypse #2 improves on its predecessor by making timeline consequences tangible and adding genuine threat through Phoenix's involvement, but it squanders that goodwill by spending half the issue on a forgettable school battle and remaining reluctant to commit to emotional character moments. The Gambit and Rogue cliffhanger proves the creative team can land compelling drama, so why does everything leading up to it feel like going through the motions? Read Full Review
I hate to say this, but X-Men of Apocalypse is the best X-book right now. The story is a variation of what we’ve seen a hundred times, but Simone Di Meo‘s excellent art makes it feel fresh, exciting and fun - the three characteristics all the other x-titles are missing.
I get really lost and the art doesn 't helped .
