AGE OF APOCALYPSE PART 2! | The Best X-Men Event of All Time? | Back Issue Show #796 X-CalibRUH? X-CaliBRAY? Whatever... In this episode, Joe and Matt continue their deep dive into all the Age of Apocalypse first-issue tie-ins — and Listenerds, you might want to brace yourselves, because this is where things get real wild!. Last time, the Nerds wrapped up Fabian Nicieza and Tony Daniel’s Gambit and the X-Ternals, so naturally the next stop on this alternate-reality-X- train is Generation Next #1 by Scott Lobdell & Chris Bachalo. Prepare yourselves for some truly bnkers Bachalo layouts, a one-handed Wolverine and his short-haired, dangerously attractive girlfriend Jean Grey, the strangest spelling of “Excalibur” you’ve ever seen, and a surprisingly shredded, aggressively shirtless Cable that absolutely no one asked for — yet here we are. ENTER… UH… AGAIN… THE AGE OF APOCALYPSE!
