Summary: In hell on earth - one man finally found his hapiness
Review: Welcome to hell on earth. North America is ruled by an evil mutant called Apocalypse. His kingdom only lives by one rule: Survivial of the fittest. Humans are regarded as the lower class and even not all mutants will be survive in this world. This all happened because Professor Charles Xavier never existed. Thus he never got to form the X-Men to appose Apocalypse.To prevent Apocalypse from taking over the rest of the world, the Human High Counsil in Europe decide to bomb the US - making sure Apocalypse doesn't go any further. They are aided by Weapon X and his one true love, Jean Grey. If you know Wolverine, you know that his life has been hell in the original timeline. But in this one, where everyone is in danger, he is happy - because he is with the one who he truly loves. And he sacrificed one of his hands for her. This induvidual story is quite good and it features a nice cameo from Carol Danvers. The art is above average and the usual narration by Logan is present as well. These stories won't mean much if you haven't read this AoA storyline from the start. If you get this, I recommend you get all the other AoA TPBs too. For a complete reading list of it, see my X-Men: LegionQuest review.

Summary: A happy Logan, in a world gone to hell
Review: When the Legion Quest storyline ended, an alternate universe was created due to the fact that Legion went back in time to kill Magneto but accidently killed Charles Xavier. Since Xavier died, there was no X-Men to stop Apocalypse from taking over America and most of the world. This alternate reality, The Age of Apocalypse, put all the regular X-books on hold for four issues and replaced them with they're AoA versions. Weapon X (Wolverine) tells the storyline revolving around Logan (he is not called Wolverine in this alternate reality) who in all his long lifetime in the regular X-universe was never able to find happiness. In the Age of Apocalypse, Logan is finally with the woman he loves: Jean Grey, and he couldn't be happier (then again he is missing a hand). The intense love and emotion between the two should be seen to be believed. Logan has an early run in with Havok, and we learn the past between Logan and Cyclops (in this reality Cyclops and Havok are servants to Apocalypse) and how Jean Grey ties in (to find out a bit more read the X-Man TPB). Eventually Jean must leave Logan to find out some info, and Logan has a few battles with Pierce and other cyborgs. Carol Danvers and Gateway make some appearances, but sometimes the action lags and the story can become a bit incoherent. The art is great and Logan's narration is as well, and is sometimes darkly hilarious. All in all, this is a good chapter in the Age of Apocalypse saga.

Summary: The most outstanding tale of the AOA X-men ever conceived
Review: With the most incredible drawings and eloborate storyline, this 4 parter stands head and shoulders ablove any thing else you will ever read in comic book form. Without going into detail of the plot (and ruining the story), this is a perfect world for Logan. If you have followed the life of the man called Logan, you will know only too well that his life has been cursed with tradegy, marred with the failure to find happiness. In this story, in a messed up world filled with familiar messed up people, it brought a tear to my eye to see his one true mission succeed. He is battle hardened, scarred, tortured, not the Logan we know. This would be reason enough to despise the world in which they put him. The only thing available to him which makes me love this world so much is his sidekick, his companion, his soulmate, his best friend and his lover. This book is worth ten times it's cost to see Logan & Jean Gray together. What a perfect world.
