Was not expecting to like Age of Apocalypse all that much but this was actually pretty damn fun.

Basically after the events of Legion's Quest we have the world reshaped very differently. All the X-Men and mutants are in very different fractions compared to the regular timeline, the biggest change being that Magneto is leading the X-Men, the rogue group, trying to fight back against the ruler of the world, Apocalypse.

Many characters are here from Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm and so on but very diffferent. The biggest change would be someone like Nightcrawler, who's much more vicious here but also hates religion, which is a complete 180, yet makes him really intriguing for this version.

The way we have characters sometimes act similar to the regular counterpart but look vastly different (The cyclops look is terrible though) and the world itself on the brink of all hell with Apocalypse trying to make his move to stop Magneto while Magneto is trying to build his forces strong enough to fight back.

Overall, this is a big old "What If" but it feels...earned? A little dark, little extreme, yet I'm intrigued by each group of Mutants we go to and why they are the way they are.

For the first major chapter of 3 in the Age of Apocalypse storyline, this was got my attention.
