Apocalypse, the ultimate 90's villain, gets his own historic retcon with X of Swords, the giant X-Men crossover event that proceeded after House of X/Powers of X. His connection to Krakoa and the mysterious partner island, Arakko, gets fleshed out by Tini Howard and Jonathan Hickman in this massive crossover event that spans more than 25 issues. Which is why I have split this discussion into our first ever 2-parter. Come for the swords, stay for the hot Apocalypse lore. I promise you'll love this one.
