Having himself planted the seeds of the Twelve legend, Apocalypse hopes to siphon their power, granting him omnipotence. Desperate to stave off his ascension, the X-Men must strike a temporary truce with Magneto to battle the warlord's forces as the Twelve are assembled - and one longtime member seemingly sacrifices his own life to end the threat of Apocalypse once and for all! Collects Uncanny X-Men #376-377, Cable #75-76, X-Men #96-97 & Wolverine #146-147

This book is an excellent read featuring the mighty and powerful Apocalypse as the main villain. Apocalypse has his twisted mind set on making his power far beyond anything imagined by capturing the world's most powerful mutants and transferring their power to himself.

A while ago I went through and read X-Men (vol. 2) #1-113 & Uncanny X-Men #300-400 simultaneously. After the Age of Apocalypse that came out around 1995, the X-Men titles went downhill fast. For two straight years (about 25 issues), the X-titles were just plain crappy -- mediocre at best.

This is almost waste of money. They didn't include the whole death storyline/ It begins right after Death is revealed to be wolverine. The Artwork is inconsistant. On one page X-force is in street clothes and in the nest they are in uniform. Did they all take a break in the middle of the fight to change clothe's. In order for this storyline to somewhat make sense you have to have the Ages of Apocoalypse(not Age of Apocalypse) and the search for cyclops and if Marvel never releases those then this ...

Before Grant Morrison re-vamped the X-Men with a refreshing take on the mutant mythos, there were some pretty bad X-Men stories that were out there. The Twelve is one of them (and also one of the reasons I myself tuned out of mainstream comics for a long time) as Apocalypse sets forth another one of his "master plans" that involves the twelve most powerful mutants on the planet, like Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Phoenix, Cable, and the like. What makes The Twelve so bad, besides the fact that the ... Read More
