Summary: Great Story...
Comment: The book was sealed very well, almost enough to keep me out of it. So it didn't have any damage getting to me. As far as the product itself; the story was great, a lot of characters made appearances, although there are unanswered questions by the end it turned out to be a good story.

Summary: 'Messiah Complex' Best in Years
Comment: 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

Summary: Good Old Xmen Fun
Comment: I haven't bought comics for a long time and only resort to buying Hardcovers or Trade Paperbacks for my comic book fix. I was reluctant to buy Xmen Messiah Complex because I've heard that most crossovers have not lived up their billings. But after reading this at one sitting, I must admit that the art, story,characterization, action, tone, and complexity was very very impressive and well-done.

I found the new X-teams hard to grasp,but after a few more pages, it wasn't that hard to follow. The backstories or what comic book enthusiasts call continuity was done so that we all can understand without a back history of stories. The art was fantastic to the max.

I'd recommend this hardcover if you enjoy a good "mystery" style story with tons of action, killings,and kids learning how to fit into being heroes. This is a good Marvel crossover and there's not that many out there.

Highly recommended.

Summary: Well worth my wait
Comment: I nearly went crazy waiting for this hardcover to arrive at my library (being broke and unable to buy it, as I would've liked to do) because I kept hearing so much about it: "Messiah Complex" this and "Messiah Complex" that and "the best X-Men crossover in decades" and such. Naturally, I couldn't wait to see if it really was worth the hype and was immediately hooked the instant I got ahold of it.

Well, it's worth the hype, at least in my opinion.

I might be just a tiny bit biased, seeing as some of my favorite characters (Nightcrawler, Rogue, X-23, Gambit, Cyclops) are involved, as well as some of my favorite writers (Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, Ed Brubaker) but I really enjoyed this story. The writing and art were spot-on, as well as the plot being engaging, and I love the way it ended, with Cable taking the baby into the future (though I can't help but be curious about what will happen to her there). Only a couple little things bothering me: it distressed me extremely that Caliban, whom I've always had a soft spot for, was killed. Also, it irked me that Shadowcat was too busy guiding a stupid bullet through space to appear here, even in a passing remark. Other than that, an excellent story well worth my time and a beautiful hardcover I'd love to own one day.
