X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Omnibus Billy Tan Cover [New Printing 3] - by Jeph Loeb & Larry Hama (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The beloved 90s X-Men crossover event that sent shockwaves through the comics industry collected together into one omnibus!

Charles Xavier is dead -- killed twenty years in the past during a freak time-travel accident -- and the world that has arisen in his absence is dark and dangerous indeed. The Darwinian conqueror Apocalypse rules with an iron fist, ruthlessly enforcing his dictum that only the strong shall survive -- and in Apocalypse's long shadow, hidden among a downtrodden humankind, are a group of ragtag freedom fighters led by Xavier's oldest friend, Magneto: the Amazing X-Men! When Bishop, last survivor of the true Marvel Universe, locates the X-Men and explains how the world went wrong, these embittered mutants and their tenuous allies must risk everything -- and undertake a dangerous and multi-pronged quest -- to put things right! The comics event of 1995 is collected in one deluxe oversized hardcover!

About the Author

Scott Lobdell wrote both Uncanny X-Men and X-Men during the 1990s. He also launched Generation X and Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix, and penned Alpha Flight and Fantastic Four. Elsewhere, he wrote Dark Horse's Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Fabian Nicieza, Wildstorm's Gen13, Top Cow's Darkness, and IDW's Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression and Galaxy Quest. Lobdell scripted Stan Lee's animated film Mosaic and has performed as a stand-up comedian.

After his scintillating debut on Uncanny X-Men while barely out of his teens, Joe Madureira immediately joined the ranks of fan-favorite artists like Jim Lee and Marc Silvestri. His innovative character designs and explosive layouts attracted a huge following during the '90s, and his popularity reached a fever pitch after his work on "Age of Apocalypse" and "Onslaught" helped transform the Marvel Universe. After developing the creator-owned Battle Chasers for Wildstorm, he left comics for the video-game industry. He made a triumphant return to Marvel with writer Jeph Loeb's Ultimates 3, later launching Avenging Spider-Man with Zeb Wells and joining Charles Soule on Inhuman.
