Travel Back to Marvel’s Landmark Dystopian Future in X-Men: Tales From the Age of Apocalypse

Posted on by

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Age of Apocalypse, the milestone X-Men event that took the ‘90s by storm and influenced the medium forever, including the X-Men’s upcoming Age of Revelation event and the highly anticipated sequel series by Jeph Loeb and Simone Di Meo, X-Men of Apocalypse, which kicks off next month. In addition, Marvel Comics will commemorate the milestone this November with X-Men: Tales From The Age of Apocalypse #1, a one-shot collecting the first issues of four of the original event’s key series: Astonishing X-Men #1, Factor X #1, Weapon X #1, and Amazing X-Men #1.

In 1995, Marvel shocked the comics-reading world, canceling all its blockbuster X-titles and replacing them with new series in the transformed reality of the Age of Apocalypse! These tales, by some of the era’s leading creators, introduced fans to radically new versions of the heroes they loved – fighting for survival in a nightmarish dystopia where Charles Xavier is long dead! Professor X was killed twenty years in the past during a freak time-travel accident, and now the Darwinian conqueror Apocalypse rules with an iron fist – ruthlessly enforcing his dictum that only the strong shall survive! In the long shadow of En Sabah Nur, hidden among a downtrodden humankind, are a group of ragtag freedom fighters led by Xavier’s oldest friend: Magneto! They’re amazing, they’re astonishing – but who are the X-Men?! Plus: What has become of iconic mutants Cyclops, Havok and Wolverine in this war-torn world?

Check out the one-shot’s all-new cover art by superstar artist Paco Medina and preorder X-Men: Tales From The Age of Apocalypse #1 at your local comic shop today!

Evil Ernie Lives!

writer: Scott Lobdell
artist: Ariel Medel
cover: Brett Booth
FC | 120 pages | Horror / Humor | $19.99 | Teen+

Earnest Gleckman is a good kid with exceptional grades in his senior year at college. His only quirk is the rock band he sings in every Saturday night. He enjoys the rock esthetic and “dressing the role,” even if he’s anything but a nihilistic punk. All that changes when he is mortally wounded — and he discovers he must “pay down his new lease on life” by serving as a part-time fixer for a death cult as Ernie Ernie! The polar opposite of Earnest, Evil Ernie is vicious and cruel and sadistic as he employs all manner of torture or murder (or both, why not?) against his targets. Collects Evil Ernie #1-5 plus a complete cover gallery!
