"No matter how strong, no matter how powerful, it always comes down to name calling."

My favorite page from Joe and Tim's run on Astonishing X-Men during the Age of Apocalypse storyline. It features Rogue, Blink, Sunfire, Wild Child, Holocaust, and Morph just being Morph. I just love the exchange here between Rogue and Holocaust, as well as Morph's quippy remarks (and the page is all the better with the text balloons there). Suffice it to say, this one's a keeper.

Many, many thanks to the astonishing Tim Townsend for this page!

Can't believe I've never commented on this before. One of the most memorable pages from the best AoA team. Joe Mad really shined here!

Beauty. Congrats Kin. Super fun page from a great story with Joe at his prime.

One hell of a page. AOA is a favorite of mine, and this is a great example of what made it so good.

This. This to me is Joe Mad. I know people love Battle Chasers and other stuff but the Age of Apocalypse storyline was, to me, the pinnacle and this page perhaps the pinnacle of that! Congratulations

Thanks, John! I go between Age of Apocalypse and Joe's later X-Men run as my favorite era of his, but there is something about his AoA work where he found the perfect balance between his traditional superhero and manga influences.
