Charles Xavier is dead — killed twenty years in the past during a freak
time-travel accident — and the world that has arisen in his absence is
dark and dangerous indeed. The Darwinian conqueror Apocalypse rules with
an iron fist, ruthlessly enforcing his dictum that only the strong
shall survive — and in Apocalypse’s long shadow, hidden among a
downtrodden humankind, are a group of ragtag freedom fighters led by
Xavier’s oldest friend, Magneto: the Amazing X-Men!
When Bishop,
last survivor of the true Marvel Universe, locates the X-Men and
explains how the world went wrong, these embittered mutants and their
tenuous allies must risk everything — and undertake a dangerous and
multi-pronged quest — to put things right! The comics event of 1995 is
collected in one deluxe oversized hardcover!
