WRONG COLLECTION ISSUES!
These are the wrong issues with book 1 cover. Not of the issues that are stated on the book are actually there when I opened it. I aren’t gonna be buying anymore of these epic book collection for Age of Apocalypse. I feel cheated.

The story is compelling and action packed. The only downside is it does jump around a bit, so you need some background knowledge of Marvel characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Age of Apocalypse Epic Book 1 Kindle Fire Format
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2012
Verified Purchase
The Kindle format of the Age of the Age of Apocalypse Book 1 is phenomenal. It is easy to read but for obvious reasons you must use a tablet for there is no color with a basic Kindle reading device. I used the Kindle Fire for enjoying this complete work, and (if you buy it for Kindle Fire) don't forget to double click on one of the comic strips; it highlights the section and makes it pop out and makes the print larger. There were a couple of pages where the print was difficult to read and that was in the pop-up/highlight mode. In addition there were a few occasions when you navigated the digital comic that there would be a blank strip. You would have to deselect the strip which takes you out of the pop-up/highlight mode so you can see what the comic strip was, and then there was the trouble reading that strip. I still enjoyed the comic minus those discrepancies. If Amazon fixes those bugs I will change my rating to a 5.

Marvel took comic books to the next level when they brought this alternate universe storyline to life. Professor Xavier is dead and his friend Erik aka Magneto is leading the X-Men against the ruthless tyrant known as Apocolypse a being whose existence is bent on killing all humans. This storyline brings characters to you with a new storyline. Beautifully written and illustrated by a team of the finest in the business.

this story line is so amazing and anyone who reads comics should get all four of these books. The alternate universe is well thought out and aside from making it seem like no one can change their destinies, it is still superb

3.0 out of 5 stars I did like this read
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
I had read much of this story when it came out originally in the 90s. This weekend I read it as a collection and I"m fairly certain the last few issues (the 4 part Blink mini series) were completely new to me.

I did like this read, but it was SO DARNED 90s.

I can't say for sure how it might be liked by newer generations. Nostalgia kept me going through the book but I'm not sure how it would have been for one of my kids, for instance.

Sometimes the art is beautiful to a point where I just stared at the page layouts for an extra minute or two. Other times I'd turn the page and cringe at the ungodly horrible perspective or poorly detailed characters.

Yes, I love the story. Yes, I enjoy the world of AoA. No, it was not the amazing story I remembered reading as a kid.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome story, incorrect start
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2014
Verified Purchase
I agree with the others on here who said that this was the incorrect way to start the Age of Apocalypse. I would have made this issue volume 4 or 5, not volume 1. The art and the story are awesome. This was the high water mark for the X-Men in my opinion. This is definitely worth reading, it should just not be read before you know the characters and the situations. It is an alternate timeline and some of the good guys are bad guys and vice-versa. Try Book 2 first which starts with X-Men Alpha, the true starting point of the Age of Apocalypse.

Great compilation! Definitely worth it instead of buying all the individual comics, this puts it in order for you to follow all the flashback stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good but start at book 2
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2012

Having read plenty of other x-men comics i thought i would give this a read, i really like the chracter apocalypse but not in this book. Did read the other reviews and should of started where the other people said. Should of sterted at epic book 2 and read this last, because when you start reading this you dont really understand whats going on and can become very confusing. Having read the others i do like the twist they have given the x-men and is a very good read with very good illastrations. But like i said read the others then read this.

Not exactly the best of the omnibus collection, however a couple of stories on it make it worth having it, specially those stories about the early years of the AoA X-Men and how did Rouge and Magneto ended up together and, also enjoyed a lot the story about the brood queen such a nice twist!
