X-Men: Apocalypse (May 27th, 2016)

[Weltall]

Best X-Men miniseries ever. That and Mutant Massacre

Are there Omni books of any of this? I want to start collecting, and I'm not sure where to start.

Yeah, two omnibus comprise everything; both out of print and going for high dollars. Being reprinted in 2016 it looks.

Actually cheaper to buy book lots off ebay and fill in missing issues haha http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Men-Age-of...0AAOSw~gRV0MwN

Then you get the badass covers!

be warned that original AoA is best viewed through nostalgia, the exposition and dialogue of mid 90s marvel was TERRIBLE and so was a lot of the art. I reread a bunch of it this morning and omg it was so cringey

I was actually reading a bit earlier today too, for the first time, since it's been sitting on my computer for like 2 years without being touched. Only things that particularly stuck out to me was the overuse of mid-bubble elipses and the godawful 90s hair.

Egregious example of both, spoilered for huge.

Spoiler: show

Aside from the standard comic problems (re-introducing every character every issue, hyper-muscled males and sexy contortionist females, etc.), at least. Dazzler is bae, though. 80's metal hair and all.

Guys. This is young X-men. Its fucking X-men Evolution, that show where they went to high school. The one where Mag and Storm were both horsemen lol.

[Fhloston]

Jennifer Lawrence' Mystique sure acts like a high schooler

Charles: Raven stop we all gone die

Mystique: NO

Erik: Mystique, stop dis

Mystique: NO

I remember at the time of release, everybody seemed to hate it outside of Blink and the young cable that were introduced. I myself thought it was only good for Nightcrawler being an asshole (teleporting off people's body parts) and the introduction of Dark Beast. Was so glad to see him brought into the main continuity when it was over.

[Senji]

Posters solid. Wonder if they tweeked colors from leaked media on fan response.

Seeing him walk around as 5'5" in X-mansion is still strange on trailer rewatch though.

[Katlan]

That poster is for sure color adjusted since that is more blue than blurple. I approve of the poster though.
Like others have said, my main issue seems to be his size. I don't have as much of a problem with his costume. Granted since Apoc can change his size I don't have a problem w/him being the same height as fassbender while in the X-Mansion. I do hope they make good use of his ability to change his height and its not just reserved for the single scene we got in the trailer

[Senji]

Changes between each iteration of; leaked > official photos > trailer > poster. Hopefully they keep the grey/blue in post. Blue/blueface is bad and they should feel bad.

If they can make Tom Cruise appear 6'2" since the 80's, they can make Apoc 7'

[Tyrath]

Thats a badass poster regardless of everything else.

[Xno Kappa]

Damn, his voice is fucking terrible.

[Prim]

Better or worse? Hmmmm.....

[DrClout]

I should have realized 5 seconds in. Gdi lmao

So, someone pointed this out but how does this movie work with the ending of DoFP with Wolverine waking up in 2015 or w/e and everything was fine?

[Cichy]

This takes place in the 80s and only mutants we've seen in 2015 was Xavier, Wolverine, Storm, Jean, Cyclops, and Beast. Plenty still left to kill off and enough time for them to get over it and rebuild

[6souls]

Singer's/Kinberg's Apocalypse is based off of many sources, Oscar Isaac's performance is based off of X-Factor

This is where having Cable or Bishop would be nice. They could give some line about how Apoc feigns his defeat/actually gets defeated but then goes back to his little sleepy chamber thing and comes back in however many years so they're there to make sure he fully dies.
