Book Reviews of X-Men: Messiah Complex
Book Review: 'Messiah Complex' Best in Years
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of watching the X-Men flounder in what seemed to me was a mish-mash of rehashed stories and depressing tone, hope shows it does spring eternal in 'Messiah Complex.' Easily the most complex and indeed important event in recent years, MC brings the X-Men back to what I believe is their core theme, hope in the face of overwhelming odds. New readers definitely want to catch up by reading the 'Endangered Species' storyline and may even want to go back to 'House of M'. For veteran readers of the X-Men, the storyline unfolds as if by serendipity. Bishop was meant to betray, Gambit was meant to be redeemed, Xavier was meant to leave, and Cyclops was meant, at long last, to take his place as Alpha Dog. It seems the writers were not writing, but merely channeling these characters as they made these life-altering changes. Also, to say that the Mutant Messiah can only be Jean Grey seems oversimplification of the truth. A great, engrossing read with realisitic art makes Messiah Complex the best in years
