Yeah, I read that. Looking back, a lot of stuff about X-Men: Alpha was pretty accurate. Roger Cruz wasn't ready for an "event" book, and it showed. As for Harras micromanaging things, well, I'm not exactly surprised there.

 

Overall though, I did enjoy the AoA storyline, so I guess I can't really complain in the end.

Man, that brings back memories. That was probably the last story arc I read before quitting comics. I've been wanting to get back into them, and now I really hope my old books are still around. I had (and loved) every issue of the Phalanx Covenant and the Age of Apocalypse, and I really want to read those again.

Jesse gets better and better each time whenever he churns out a column like this.

 

Marvel politics in the 90's would make wrestling fans cringe at how disorganized and greedy they all were (to which they still are to a lesser degree).

Bob Harras micromanaged the X-Men... how... um... shocking.

 

Age of Apocalypse was a damn fine piece of work overall, but Alpha and Omega blew chunks. Probably some Harras influence there as well.

The AOA was and still is one of my favorite storylines ever, reading the review makes me want to go back to my comic book vault and take the whole set out to read them again.
