Library Link
Ultimate X-Men. 18. Apocalypse / writer, Robert Kirkman ; artist, Tyler Kirkman
Kirkman, Robert.

10 Second Review
Hank and Storm work on their relationship, while Sinister uses his mind controlling powers to evolve into Apocalypse.

Apocalypse can absorb other mutant powers, which makes him a big problem. Jean provides a big solution.

Great art and good story but read the previous book first.

Notes
Fantastic Four make an appearance.
