Age of Apocalypse #1

This special point-one issue of *Uncanny X-Force* drops readers into a dimension where Apocalypse won — and the cover lays out the stakes with striking portrait medallions of Jean Grey, Sabretooth, Magneto, Rogue, and Weapon X alongside a blazing action scene of a fiery, flame-wreathed figure clashing with dark, chained combatants. The back-cover text sets the scene compellingly: X-Force has crossed into the Age of Apocalypse, where a corrupted Weapon X now threatens what little of humanity remains. With cover pencils by Humberto Ramos and colors by Dean White, this 2012 entry is a vivid, accessible gateway into one of Marvel's darkest alternate realities.
