Comic Description
X-Men Omega #1 serves as the final conclusion to the massive 1995 crossover event 'Age of Apocalypse'. This issue wraps up the dystopian timeline where Charles Xavier was killed decades prior, leading to Apocalypse conquering North America and forcing the remaining X-Men, led by Magneto, to make their final desperate stand before the universe is reset.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint- (CGC 9.2)
Condition Details
The comic is presented inside a protective modern comic bag with a backing board, showing a remarkably clean and flat cover overall. The metallic foil accents are glossy and bright with minimal scuffing. Corners appear sharp with very minor blunting, and the spine is relatively tight with minor spine stress ticks typical of foil covers from the 1990s.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $10 - $25; Graded (CGC 9.2/9.4): $40 - $75
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales range from $10 to $20 depending on platform, with high-grade CGC 9.4 and 9.6 copies commanding around $50 to $80.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for professional grading unless part of a complete Age of Apocalypse set submission, as the raw value matches or sits close to modern grading and shipping costs.
Notable Features
Features a striking, iconic silver metallic foil-embossed title logo wrap-around cover. It is the definitive conclusion of the Age of Apocalypse event and a staple of 1990s Marvel chromium and foil variant collecting.
Authentication Notes
Appears completely authentic with standard 1995 Marvel publication characteristics, including proper cardstock cover weight, correct ink registration on the foil elements, and standard staples.
