I love the Age of Apocalypse story when it was first published. Admittedly I wasn't as well-read back then, so the idea (time traveller kills Professor X, causing Magneto to instead become founder of the X-Men) seemed really fresh and original, and a lot of the changes to character and design were very interesting.
Time, however, has not been kind to the Age of Apocalypse, as this collection of cheap cash-ins proves. Character motivations vary from chapter to chapter, people appear in places they couldn't possibly be in for in-story reasons, people randomly disappear during fight scenes and then turn up again a few pages later. I realize that a big project like this involves a lot of cooks, but that's hardly an excuse for broth this poor.
