It just costs too damn much. I want to read it, but for free.

Does it actually make propper sense, cause from what I can tell they kept on adding stuff after it had 'finished' and I wondered if it got a bit convoluted.

I wouldn't worry about the 'add-ons' to Age of Apocalypse.

In the late 90's, they released a couple of one-shots that only really attempted to cash in on the series' remaining popularity. I didn't read the 10 year anniversary mini last year but I very much doubt it could possibly live up to the standard of the original story and very likely adds nothing to its forebear.

Otherwise, I can't recommend AoA enough. I really liked the idea of Magneto leading the X-Men and then doing everything possible to recreate the world Bishop spoke of (even though there was no proof that the world he came from was the true one) just so that Apocalypse wouldn't rule.

Boy wonders right but i'm gonna take that as him agreeing with me as i was here first. AoA is well worth a read, feels jumpy in the Tb's but that is because it aranged the issues in chronological order and suddenly your somewhere else and you have to remember whats going on then!

I read somewhere that you should skip the first one and read it last as it kinda ruins the story.

One thing I do really want to read from that is the Blink mini, is it any good???

I hate blink so i'm not going to answer that. The first one is essential i don't know why it would be seen as ruining it.

I'd go with Planetary #27, more Transmet, more decent Authority, someone going back in time to Un-Kill and restore Bart Allen, possibly as far back as returning him to his former Impulse glory days, and letting him age as a normal person would, but with all his crazy-ness, and I'd be shocked if he didn't end up something like me.
