Best of Marvel : X-Men - L'ère d'Apocalypse #1
This volume kicks off the sprawling 'Age of Apocalypse' saga, a dark alternate reality where Professor X's death decades earlier allowed Apocalypse to conquer North America. The X-Men, now a desperate resistance force, must fight for survival in a world where familiar heroes like Beast and Nemesis take on radically different roles. Collecting the opening chapters of this landmark 1990s event, it features key moments for Blink (Clarice Ferguson) as she emerges as a pivotal figure in this twisted timeline.
In Nouveau départ, the world lies broken under Apocalypse’s rule, and Magnéto’s X-Men stand as humanity’s last hope. With Bishop’s arrival claiming this reality is a lie born from Charles Xavier’s early death, and Blink and Sunfire warning of Apocalypse’s new weapon—Holocauste—the team prepares for a battle they may not survive. Written by Scott Lobdell and Geneviève Coulomb, with dynamic art by Joe Madureira and inks by Tim Townsend and Dan Green, this gripping tale unfolds under Mark Brooks’ striking cover.
In a world ruled by Apocalypse, Magnéto and his X-Men stand as the last hope for a dying humanity. When Bishop arrives with a shocking revelation—that this reality is a lie born from Charles Xavier’s early death—and Blink and Sunfire report that Apocalypse has unleashed Holocauste to target humans again, the team prepares for a fight they may not survive.
In "Voyage en terra incognita," Jo and the X-Ternals are whisked across the galaxy by Lila Cheney, landing on a world under threat from the Imperial Guard. With the planet endangered by the M'Kraan crystal, the Starjammers make a desperate rescue just as disaster strikes.
In "Aux limites de l'infini," Gambit and the Starjammers race against time to steal a shard from the colossal M'Kraan crystal, a realm guarded by the Shi'ar and home to the enigmatic Jahf. As the team navigates the shimmering, shifting depths of the gem, they uncover a truth far beyond their mission — one that challenges everything they thought they knew.
In "Le galop infernal," Mystique leads Switchback to Avalon on Magnéto's orders, while Diablo reaches out to Angel to help locate his mother. As Kurt and Proudstar plot to join them, their secret is overheard by Véga, who alerts Apocalypse—sparking a race against time as his agents close in on Avalon. Destinée confronts Switchback with a chilling vision of the sanctuary’s end.
In the aftermath of a failing submarine carrying Diablo and a hundred refugees toward Avalon, desperation sets in as survival hangs in the balance. Callisto intervenes, offering to see them safely to shore—only to betray them, drowning them all. Enraged, Diablo confronts her, aided unexpectedly by his mother, while Damask and his crew silently watch from afar, tracking Mystique’s hidden path to Avalon.
