"Why is the X-Men's newest crisis shaping up to be ... their final adventure?! It all starts with a mysterious and tragic disappearance, but their investigation draws the X-Men into a much bigger and deadlier situation! Who or what are the Four Horsemen of Salvation, and what is their connection to Nate Grey, the incredibly powerful mutant known as X-Man? Will Nate's home dimension, the Age of Apocalypse, make its horrifying return? Or does the dawn of the Age of X-Man mean the end of the Uncanny X-Men?! It's a status-quo-smashing story that just might leave all the mutantkind in tatters, and it will take three fan-favorite writers to deliver the mutant madness."--.

"Charles Xavier is dead - killed twenty years in the past during a time-travel accident - and the world created by his absence is a nightmare!

But hidden in Apocalypse's long shadow are a group of ragtag freedom fighters led by Xavier's oldest friend, Magneto: the X-Men! When Bishop, last survivor of the true Marvel Universe, explains how the world went wrong, these embittered mutants and their tenuous allies must risk everything to put things right!"--.

"With her unique combination of wit, empathy and squirrel powers, computer science student Doreen Green is all that stands between the Earth and total destruction! Well, Doreen plus her friends Tippy-Toe (a squirrel) and Nancy (a regular human). So mainly Squirrel Girl. Then, what hope does Earth have if Doreen gets hurled back in time and erased from history? Some hope, hopefully, as Howard the Duck is waiting impatiently for a crossover! And if one animal encounter isn't enough, prepare for Swarm, a buzzkill made of bees, and Mole Man, the subterranean super villain looking for love! But you're not here for flowers and kissing, you're all about computer science and super-heroics. Get both--and more--in a showdown with Count Nefaria!"--Back cover.
