Marvel First Look: AGE OF APOCALYPSE #1

Marvel has released a first look at its upcoming Age of Apocalypse ongoing series from writer David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Deadpool Max) and artist Roberto De La Torre. Named one of our "ten comics to watch" in 2012, the series reimagines the bleak alternate reality of the popular  '90s crossover for a new generation, working from the shattered world that series left behind and playing with concepts introduced in recent issues of Uncanny X-Force. Marvel describes the series below; click on the images to get a larger view of the preview art.

Your First Look At AGE OF APOCALYPSE #1

Marvel is proud to present your first look at Age of Apocalypse #1, from the creative team of Dave Lapham and Roberto De La Torre. Spinning out of the critically acclaimed Uncanny X-Force, the Amazing X-Men and the human resistance must fight tooth and nail to end the tyranny that has left their world ravaged! Continuing Apocalypse's war on humanity, Weapon X leads the genocide that rains down upon this dimension, eliminating any who stand in his way. "This new Age of Apocalypse book does the impossible – it revolutionizes an old concept without a reboot," explains Senior Editor Nick Lowe. "If you've been reading Uncanny X-Force, you know where this is coming from and you're already in. If you're an Age of Apocalypse junkie, this builds on the alternate universe's mythology is fascinating and troubling ways. And if you aren't either and just want a ground-breaking, easy-entry book that will challenge everything you know about the X-Men, there hasn't been a better jumping on point."   Can anyone stop the evil Weapon X and who are the X-Terminated? Find out in Age of Apocalypse #1, with a cover by Humberto Ramos and Dean White that no fan can miss, hitting comic shops everywhere and the Marvel Comics app, this March!
