Topic: X-Men: Apocalypse announced for 2016

...is that a thing? Like, I've heard of Days of Future Past, so is Apocalypse a big arc in the X-Men comics? I'm really confused.

EDIT: Did some reading on the Age of Apocalypse arc. Sounds really cool. But did they just spoil the ending of DoFP with this announcement?

Age of Apocalypse is the X-men comics version of that inevitable episode of a TV show where the world is turned upside down and characters are essentially playing alternate versions of themselves.

I remember liking it, mainly because of Alternate Magneto and the pervasive darkness of the setting.

So it's like X-Men's "Mirror, Mirror"? That sounds awesome, actually. I can't wait to see goateed Wolverine.

Apocalypse is the uber X-Men bad guy.  THousands year old mutant.  God like powers.  Hitler like outlook.

Lord I hope they don't do the Age of Apocalypse story. I remember thinking that was an ugly mess.


I'd prefer an Angel-->Archangel story.
