More Messiah Complex
I recently reviewed the first chapter of the Messiah Complex, which follows the sage of our favorite merry mutants as they fight not just for their survival but survival of all mutant kind. If you want to see my findings on the first chapter, check out http://www.comicbookjournal.net/the-next-big-thing/.
I have to tell you kids, this crossover is where it’s at. I’ve recently finished reading the first four chapters and I’m enthralled. So far, though, there hasn’t been a lot of appearances by Sinister, which I hope will be more frequent as the storyline progresses. So far so good, the only gripe I have with the saga so far is the artwork in the “New X-Men,” which I suppose overall fits the tone for the quirky “last” generation of mutants, but is still a little loose and light for the storyline. I think this crossover will do what Crisis on Infinite Earths did for DC and perhaps get the universe more streamlined, eliminating hanging plot threads and eliminating needless characters, compacting the history of the Marvel Universe, more importantly, the mutants in Marvel’s universe. So far so good Marvel. Hopefully this trend will continue through the middle and end of the saga. As the events proceed I’ll of course let you know what I think.
