Very Good...But not the Messiah Complex
This was an awesome crossover event, but for some reason it just didn't keep me turning the pages as quickly as "The Messiah Complex" crossover from a few years back. It wasn't the art, which was outstanding. Choi, Crain, and Oliverti all did an outstanding job. Just beautiful. And it really wasn't the story either. Maybe it was just the rehashing of old villains trying to make a case for themselves in an era where comic readers want something fresh. Not that Apocallypse and Stryfe are boring, but readers crave something new. And the heroes were awesome, but why just limit it to a few of them? With something as critical as saving the mutant "messiah" on the line, wouldn't you want all of your resources on hand? I don't know? It just didn't make sense to me. And Bishop just needs to die. Take what you will from this. I liked it, but something was missing.
Peace and Love,
Jake.

Let's end with the status quo again.
Billed as a sequel to the Messiah Complex I was hoping to get some answers as to why Hope is so important. I got none. They set it up good enough with Cyclops sending x-force to find out why Cable hasn't come back yet and then it goes nowhere. The whole story is one big battle that brings Stryfe and Apocalypse back into the picture and ends just as it began, with Bishop chasing Cable and Hope through time and the readers not knowing the why (as if the Cable series wasn't boring for 12 or so issues already?). The art is great but this story is so inconsequential that you could never read it and understand everything that may happen in the future of the Mutant Messiah story. Deadpool's comedy carries the entire book so unless you need to get a Deadpool fix save your money.

Definitly worth the purchase!!
If you have been following Marvel Mutants since the House of M then you know that you need to pick this book up. Some reviews have been rough on this book but the completist in me made me purchase it. I am glad I did as I loved the art work and the return of Apocolypse!!!
