What if the Age of Apocalypse continued in X-Men books for four months? (Part 2 of our X-Men: AOA coverage)

Dear Watchers: an omniversal comic book podcast

It was the best of times, it was the...Age of Apocalypse! We are back for part two of our three part coverage of the mega comics event in X-Men and Marvel history! We start off by exploring how Age of Apocalypse played out on X-Men: The Animated Series with the two-part "One Man's Worth". Then we head back to the comics to discuss the four months of material across multiple X-titles that also shows what happens to Tony Stark, the Fantastic Four, Bruce Banner, Gwen Stacy and more in this darkest timeline.

It’s the second of our three part Age of Apocalypse deep dive! We start out by discuss how X-Men: The Animated Series and the comics worked together to develop their versions of the Age of Apocalypse story only on the tv show, there is no Apocalypse. Instead, we see Bishop, Shard, Wolverine and Storm team up to take down Fitzroy, Nimrod and the Sentinels across multiple timelines. Then we dive into the 20 (!!!) books across four months of AOA stories from writers including Howard Mackie, Fabian Nicieza, John Francis Moore, Larry Hama, Warren Ellis, Scott Lobdell, Jeph Loeb, and Terry Kavanagh including the fracturing relationship of Logan and Jean, Summers brother vs. Summers brother, Nightcrawler teaming with mom Mystique, Gambit in space, and whatever is happening in Generation Next. Plus, Guido tries to explain what the M'kraan crystal is!

We’ll be back then in two weeks with part three of our coverage on episode 111 including the conclusion of the story and the future legacy!
