Nice to see all the missions and storylines come together in a way that makes sense (I was a little worried, I admit). I now understand why X-fans have gone nuts for this AU storyline! I also particularly loved how the human characters (Avengers, et al) fit into this installment.

And so concludes the epic that I never came around to finishing as a teenager - with the bad guys losing (except for those who got away) and the heroes winning (only to watch the world they know end).
Much like book one, the final collection of the Age of Apocalypse epic contains what I'd like to call filler - stories related to the epic, but not a part of it. It collects the fourth and final issues of Generation Next, X-Calibre, Factor X, Gambit and the X-Ternals, Amazing X-Men, Weapon X, X-Man #4 & 53-54, X-Universe #2, X-Men: Omega, X-Men: Prime, and Blink #4 (for some odd reason, as it is also featured in book one, but it's quite possibly the last four pages of the final issue).
What can I say about this collection? While most of it's worth the read, I ignored Blink and the other two issues of X-Man. The writing is magnificent and the art is stellar - there is not disappointment here! The stories are heartbreaking - especially the collection opener of Generation Next. Again, we are hit with the choices our heroes and villains make in this world. And how, no matter how much we distance ourselves from the conflict, we will have to make a decision in the end. Sometimes it's for the better and sometimes it's for our undoing.

Obviously u need to read the earlier volumes to have a better understanding of what's going on.. However, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the glorious art that fills the Pages...
One of the better compilations in my opinion.
The feature with blink was lost on me.. maybe the pages were missing? I did borrow this from the library... but the pages were far too few and I scratched my head trying to figure out why they were even in there..

This didn't wrap up nearly as strong as it started. The narrative begins to fall back on the explainey habits of the standard X-Men material and you get a lot of tell and not so much show.

The Age of Apocalypse saga draws to a close and people have to choose what side they are going to be on. More and more it looks like its going to be difficult to survive and a hope for a better world lives in the hearts of the x-men.
