The Dream is over…  A man who should never have died is now gone. His passing marks the loss of a world full of promise, a world of hope unfettered, and heralds the coming reality rife with the ravages of chaos and confusion, an age of madness and destruction. Enter now… Wolverine during The Age of Apocalypse.

As underground agents committed to peace between humans and mutants, lovers Logan and Jean Grey undertake a suicide mission to steal valuable information from Apocalypse. Apocalypse realizes their termination amnesties are temporary, and fights like a man possessed. Their apparent triumph might be a Pyrrhic victory as leadership struggles within the Human High Council could place mankind onto a path of extinction. Logan may have unwittingly provided the means necessary to hasten the Age of Apocalypse instead of leading the final bid for freedom.
