Sep 10, 2025Age of X-Men Alpha is a blazing return to a familiar era that may not offer everyone reading it something super original but what it does offer, it does with tons of style, rock steady character writing and absolutely gorgeous art that takes you straight back into that era like we never left and for that it should be applauded.

AIPT - David Brooke
Sep 10, 2025X-Men of Apocalypse Alpha #1 will win skeptics over with Simone di Meo's show-stopping visuals and Jeph Loeb's ability to reintroduce fan-favorite characters with energy and heart. While the narrative occasionally circles the same points and the main mission of the issue feels thin, the combination of nostalgic callbacks, accessible character work, and sheer visual spectacle makes this a worthy return to one of Marvel's most iconic alternate universes.

ComicBook.com - David Harth
Sep 10, 2025This is a pretty standard alternate universe story, though, so its success is going to depend on whether Loeb can sell the few secrets this issue keeps from readers. So, while there's a chance all of this could crash and burn, this is a pretty good issue. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Sep 10, 2025X-Men Age of Apocalypse Alpha #1 is a brilliant art showcase, but the writing is an exercise in stylistic chaos. Its an issue that looks fantastic but feels thin on substance. The punchy dialogue and rapid pace deliver a quick hit of action, but they don't give the reader enough time to invest in the characters or the plot. This comic is a treat for the eyes but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of narrative depth. Read Full Review
