The X-Men Suffers Messiah Complex

by

Marvel keeps getting better and better . . . could it be the company is winding up for its own version of Infinte Crisis? First the New Avengers find Skrulls influencing things since the first issue, and now the X-Men are connecting with the ultimate MessiahComplex.bmpepilogue of House of M: Messiah Complex.

The Mike Carey-written storyline - set for October 2007 - deals with the birth of what looks to be the first in the next generation of mutant kind, and involves various factions, including not only the X-Men, but also Sinister’s Marauders as well as the Purifiers, an anti-mutant force formed by William Stryker of X-Men 2 and God Loves, Man Kills, in race to find the child.

The crossover promises to unite the X-Men in ways not seen for years - which is a relief, considering the X-Titles have been more than a little bit gloomy since even before House of M. The characters apparently playing a starring role include Bishop, Gambit (presumably a Marauder, unless something changes in this week’s X-Men #200), Warpath, Angel, Mystique, Angel, Cyclops (wearing something very close to his classic costume, at least in the cover) as well as my personal favorite, Jamie Maddrox.

Speaking of Maddrox, I’m looking to order the Peter David Maddrox mini-series Multiple Choice from Amazon, which launched the best-selling X-Factor in the beginning. I’ll provide a full review soon enough, and I promise to keep you all posted on any plot details concerning Messiah Complex.

About Comic Book Journal

Where do capes and cowls end and horror and noir begin? What's more important: the four-color panels, or the letter balloons within them? Did comics really begin in cave walls, or just in the Sunday morning cartoons? What the heck is a graphic novel? These questions and more are answered in the Comic Book Journal, the place between the page and the panel, the motion line and the sound byte, the superhero and the every(wo)man.
