- What the F@(&?
O.K., some of the art was decent, but the story... The way they drew some obscure plots from years ago that dead-ended or were dropped, and the heinous misuse of Mr. Sinister, and the ridiculous Mystique angle...I just can't tell what they were thinking. I am a hardcore old school X-men fan. I loved the stuff Claremont was doing in the late seventies and early eighties, and some things that other writers took on in the nineties. So, the only thing of any vague interest to me in this entire story is the potential identity of the mutant infant. and the time hopping cat and mouse game between Cable and Bishop.

Rating:

- A worthwhile read.
If your looking for a lot of action this is not the book for you. If you like Beast and are interested in just how dire things are for mutants in the times just before Messiah Complex then this is a fine graphic novel. Its a prelude to Messiah, and really puts Beast in the spotlight while showing some nice snippet with wolverine/cyclops (i always love seeing those two interact with each other) and a take on some of the villains perspective of "M Day". Also, if your a fan of Astonishing there is a cameo by Professor Rao. (i always wondered what happened to her) Its worth the buy in paperback. Hardcover might be a little steep for this one though. Its more a curiosity than anything. But the writing is good, and the art is up to snuff.

Rating:

- Some of the best character moments in a very long time...
If you're looking for a book that promises "an all out action extravaganza" or to "forever changes the status quo," look elsewhere. Here you'll find more internal conflicts than external ones, more moral conundrums then explosions. Mike Carey is an extraordinary writer and uses these little vignettes to give real depth to Messiah Complex. Without it, the big crossover would seem pretty damn empty.

Rating:

- there are NO x-men here
This is a BEAST story, where he goes around Marvel Universe failing, failing and failing more. And the story tries to end with a moral, which really doesn't work. I just bought it because I was thinking that it's important to understand Messiah Complex, but it isn't.
