While it does remind me of Age of Apocalypse it is an entirely different alternate world, and under differing circumstances. Great read.

I loved it. And I really hope that Colossus and Kitty Pryde are forever.

Mike Carey can write amusing single issues, but this storyline is his baby and it's not much. Sure it's had some lasting effects on current continuity, but it's a throwaway alternate universe. Compare the two(well 3) Age of X: Universe stories to the main tale. They have a bit of humor, a moral, and shocking moments. In the main story, I was really shocked but thought "interesting choice". Wait I was shocked at how Carey decided to make Pixie really pervy. I like the lack of Miss Fan Service, and more Mr. Fan Service.
Like I said before the best part is the Age of X Universe issues included. I love alternate universes and mutants, but this one was hindered by its narrow focus.

Not bad as a contained standalone, but feels a little too random and rushed towards the end. Also; I don't know if it was the style they were going for, but everything seems a little too dark, sometimes so that I had to squint to see what was going on. The Avengers (Age of X: Universe)-story at the was completely unnecessary. Would probably rate this 3 1/2 stars.

This started off with forced character introductions and altered histories, but soon found its feet. The plot is predictable enough, if you know your X-lore, but what did impress me was the refreshing twist on the characters. Alternate universes have been done to death, but some how, everyone in the alternates ends up in the same role. Scott was notably different this time, not only in name, but in the fact that OMG he wasn't paired off with Jean/a Jean lookalike/another telepath. Storm was disappointingly fanserviced, but Logan, Rogue and Scott made up for that loss with their unique new positions. And really? Who gave Sam the reigns?
