I'm tempted to give this two-stars. There are a lot of good moments, but for every good one, or at least for every 2 good ones there is a bad one. Inconsistent characterization, confusing artwork, bad plotting, pathetic attempts at shock value, unearned attempts at emotional moments, and poor action scenes.

Volume 3 is certainly the highmark for this event, mostly because the writers and reader had had enough time to get a handle on events while their was still false hope of continued improvement.

This whole event feels both far too short to allow you to actually care about these versions of the X-men, and far too long since it lasted 3 months, destroying any momentum in the real storylines.
Another bizarre choice was telegraphing from the first issues that this while thing was going to be undone with no serious consequences. I mean sure this is comics we knew such an event would be redone but to highlight from the start that this whole thing was going to be meaningless, AND to make that literally the main plotline seems a self-defeating strategy.

This final volume also suffers from the writers need to make it seem like an ending, by making it all feel BIG and MEANINGFUL. For example the first 3/4 issues all have narrators, a common trick to try to make an issue feel important. Doesn’t work so well when everyone is using it though.

Finally the Age of Apocalypse finishes about 100 pages from the end of this volume the rest is attempted clean-up and trying to put back together the real world continuity while also rewriting it a bit. However the very last couple of X-Man issues where fairly lame even given my penchants for the Summer’s clan.

Overall, it had its moments but glad to be done with it. Or i will be when the messy bits and pieces its left behind are finally erased. ( )

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. ( )

The story concludes, with a dramatic "well, that happened." Man, I do not miss the 90's. ( )

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. ( )
