As a cruel reflection of the mainstream reality, the AOA Wolverine became Apocalypse to serve evolution and the Celestials.Įventually, X-Force are able to return home with a Life Seed, but Archangel is waiting for them. Wolverine encounters a heroic version of Sabretooth, a Jean Grey who’s alive and a twisted version of himself. The Age of Apocalypse is a dark dimension where mutants are still fighting for survival. For anyone who enjoyed the acclaimed 90s story, it’ll bring back plenty of nostalgia. The stakes are raised higher when Archangel ascends into the new Apocalypse and X-Force are forced to go into the Age of Apocalypse dimension to retrieve a Life Seed. Wolverine needs to keep everyone together as the fight an army of Deathloks and try to stop a bleak future from happening. Angel finds it harder and harder to control his darker side and isolates himself from the rest of X-Force. With each new mission, Psylocke questions her morality and loses a piece of herself.
This act sets off a chain reaction that haunts the team throughout the rest of the graphic novel. Wolverine makes the choice to bring the child back to the X-Men, only for Fantomex to shoot Apocalypse in the face. Archangel is intent on killing Apocalypse, while Psylocke is adamant in protecting the boy so they can rehabilitate him. When X-Force encounter the child, they struggle to reach a decision. It’s revealed that the reincarnated Apocalypse is a child who is unsure about his place in the world. Soon, X-Force encounter Apocalypse’s Final Horsemen and the team almost die, but Fantomex’s misdirection powers allow them to escape. Fantomex is the wildcard of the team, while Deadpool offers plenty of banter and fourth wall breakage. He’s helped by his lover, Psylocke, and seeing Warren and Betsy’s relationship explored through the story is one of the most emotional aspects. Angel has plenty of incentive to want to stop Apocalypse and is trying to keep his Archangel persona under control. Wolverine and Angel have put together a black-ops team and their first mission involves hunting down the reincarnated Apocalypse.
