Ultimate X-Men - Volume 18: Apocalypse

Kirkman manages to tell a fun story that shakes everything up, and then wraps it up in a very "What the hell?" style. It's a bit of a dissapointment, but without being able to spoil it I will simply state that whatever you read, read it with an open mind and just go along for the ride. It's quick, violent, and doesn't really end anywhere important.

First of all let me say this. I think Robert Kirkman has saved the Ultimate X-men!! This story arc is awesome. There is action on every page! And cop-out? The man (Kirkman) left both stories open ended for a possibility for these great historic villains to maybe and hopefully come back in the future. This story follows right after the Cable/ Sentinel sagas (which is another great X-men story) and gets right to it. The X-men are disbanded Bishop is leading the new field team. And we all know who's coming! Apocalypse! Probably one of the greatest villains in the Marvel U! But that's not all, The Shadow King play Storm has been writing threw the whole Ultimate X-men history turns out to be real! He's real! That's right not just Apocalypse but The Shadow King too, and he's bringing the Brood! Action! Action! Action! The remake of old characters is great as well. Strife makes and appearance but he's not the long lost future son of Scott and Jean, Onslaut shows up looking much cooler than the original. And then they all have to get together to battle Apocalypse! (Also sporting a great new look) This fight scene also includes The Ultimate Fantastic Four, The Ultimate Morlocks and S.H.I.E.L.D. how do you not love this story all ready. I would suggest this story to anyone wh
