This was a very weird "crossover" event, in that, well, it doesn't crossover AT ALL. It's just 3 completely unconnected Apocalypse-adjacent stories. That said, I read them all together and I'm lazy, so I'm writing one review for the whole thing (Extraordinary, All-New, & Uncanny X-Men Volumes 2) and then extra bits for each volume individually.

Despite not being interconnected at all, the stories in the Apocalypse Wars were fun and interesting. As one story? Well, it's not one story, it's 3. But they are definitely all setting up the next rise of Apocalypse and that's cool. I'm intrigued to see where it goes.

Now for some specifics, Uncanny felt like a completely different book here than it did in the last volume which I can only attribute to the delightful, fun and very 90s art of Ken Lashley. Lashley is great on his own, but compared to Land its literally night and day. The book was good! There was action! Excitement! Hell, characters actually looked like they were moving, not just posing! Both plots were fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go from here (although I think Land is back after this arc so maybe not... *sigh*) ( )

Gotta give this 3 because Lashley's art is great (and the guy is a dude - met him at comic con).

But please stop torturing Warren... ( )

Meh, this wasn't good. I liked a few parts with Psylocke and Warren/Angel but for the most part I didn't care for the story. ( )
