4.0 out of 5 stars The Rebirth of the X-men, 20 Nov 2008
By Mr. P. J. Lambert "Lord of the Flies" (Wirral, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a fan of the X-men comic book then this is truly required reading. First off, make sure you are reasonably up to date with the main X story arcs of the last few years, namely House of M, Decimation, Deadly Genesis and Endangered Species otherwise you are going to have a real problem in following most of the action. While I readily admit that Messiah Complex is by no means perfect, it is most definately the best Marvel crossover in a long time, with most story arcs fitting together quite neatly. This book is also important as it marks the moment when the X-groups are no longer Xaviers responsibility and become Cyclop's X-men.

5.0 out of 5 stars A messiah is born., 4 Jun 2008
By B. Lucas (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wow

Thats what i thought and still think after finishing 'Messiah Complex' the first X-men event for ten years. So what makes this so special then? How does it stand out from the crowd? Well the truth is because it changes the status quo. Now many events make claims that they will do this to a franchise but 'Messiah Complex' manages to meet this claim and more.

So whats the story? Well to sum it up its the 'conclusion' so to speak of 'House Of M', (a marvel cross-over event that happened 4 years ago.) the mutant population has new hope rekindled through the birth of a new mutant. This may just sound like an average idea on paper, but it also uses many other plot lines through out X-men lore to create an event that surprises with each of its twists and turns. Its because of this that you realise how much time has been spent to create this event by the creators as by the end of it you realise that so many old plot points have been tied up but so many new ones have been opened.

Also through the use of the constant rotation of artists through out the event it makes it constantly refreshing to be reading with a different style of art. It is also helpful that each artist is able to play on their strengths through out the event to deliver the best experince of the reader.

Although by the end you may be confused or maybe even agitated by not a definate answer from the writers because of the last three pages. (you will no what i mean when you get there) You just have to remember that so many new storylines have been opened from this story. And it shows that this event is the messiah for the X-men franchise as it has saved it and now guiding it in a new direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars First big X-men crossover in ages and it's great., 11 Jul 2008
By genejoke "Mmmm Shiny" (uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
What can I say about this, the art is a mixed bag aside from a few chapters it is pretty consistant in style. It ties up many loose ends from the various x-men comics it also sets about changing everything. Which is good as there have been a number of long term problems with the x-men books. It is a pretty epic story and in someways could have been longer to fully show the scale of events. A minor niggle.
