Age of X-Man: Apocalypse and The X-Tracts #1

"I suddenly had this fully formed vision of a militant '60s X-Men team... like the Weather Underground meets Doom Patrol. Hippie, beatnik superhero revolutionaries. When I decided Apocalypse was going to be a combination of Professor X and Andy Warhol, I knew I had my in, and finally a use for my years of Art History college classes." -- Tim Seeley

Damn, when I saw the cover I was so hoping it would be Apocalypse forming a rock band that solves mysteries on the side.

These guys don't seem all that militant.

[akodo_rokku]

I think that's the point.

[lordultimus]

It's just that the quote describes them as "a militant '60s X-Men team".

Celestial endowments? *snicker*

Oh you forgot the worst scene from this comic that I saw on Tumblr, that reveals that in this AU Kitty isn't Jewish, because apparently in this AU Judaism is a dead religion and Kitty doesn't even know what a Menorah is (although handling one made her have memories of the original universe).

YEAH THAT'S SURE NOT SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE OR HAVE BAD IMPLICATIONS OR ANYTHING GUYS.

Of course aside from that: In this AU the role of Kitty Pryde will be played by Kim Possible.

[laughing_tree]

Surely any such implications are part of the point, since this is supposed to be a dystopia?

[crinos]

Fair enough.

[cyberghostface]

I don't really see the problem with that. It's supposed to be uncomfortable in the context of the dystopia the world is being written as.

Love that Dazzler look.

Next these four are going to jump in a great custom van and go Solve Mysteries with their Talking Dog Sidekick!
