X-Men: The New Age of Apocalypse

In 2005, Marvel presented a single-issue alternate-reality tale where the X-Men's world was reshaped by Apocalypse's rule, with Mark Brooks providing the art that brought this dark vision to life. A standalone exploration of a timeline where the mutant team's dynamics are fundamentally altered, this issue offers a concentrated look at a pivotal "what if" scenario. Its brief, self-contained nature makes it a focused entry for fans of the franchise's sprawling multiverse.
