crookedtreehouse's review against another edition
I can't rate this book, as I do not own/have not read two of the three series involved in this multi-X-verse book. I know that I think the run of Astonishing X-Men that leads to this volume is atrociously bad. But I did not read the X-Treme X-Men series or the Age Of Apocalypse books that factor in.
Probably because of this, I couldn't manage to focus on what was happening. It was too many Other Universe X-Men that I wasn't familiar with. I don't remember how Sage or Dazzler from Earth 616 ended up in the mess. I have only a vague memory of this particular version of Nightcrawler, and I know this is the Sabretooth from the Exiles run, but, ooooof, it's too much.
Maybe at some point, I'll be able to get my hands on the X-Treme and Age Of Apocalypse runs to make more sense of this, but for this go-round it couldn't hold my attention.

Maybe I'm just too old to appreciate stuff like this. Random fighting across multiple multiverses with different skin-deep versions of familiar characters. Yawn. Just not enough story. And yes I read it out of order but it should be able to hold together at least somewhat and it really doesn't.

I know I've been railing against comics crossovers lately, but I was pretty into this one because it was just SO bonkers. Like, all of X-Treme X-Men was pretty bonkers, but then cross it over with some OTHER dimension-hopping X-Men and it was just so confusing that I stopped trying to understand it at all and just went along with it. RIP X-TREME X-MEN :(

The Age of Apocalypse universe cannot catch a break. There was a lot of potential here with all the different X-teams but it seemed like all you really needed was Jean Grey from AoA so most of the book is people standing around confused.

Woo! I finished this arc!
I liked getting reunited with the universe hopping team lead by Dazzler, but the stakes got so epic, I felt like the elements I was enjoying about both of those arcs got a little lost in the shuffle. Still, I'm glad for Jean's roll in this arc and I super loved the use of multiversal Nightcrawlers.
