The one I wish I had skipped is Endangered Species, now that was boring. The story itself is a fast paced action/mystery that's important if you're following the bigger mutant storyline at Marvel. This contains material from X-men, New X-men, Uncanny X-men, X-factor, and more. So the look and feel of the comic changes every 20 or 30 pages.
Let me just say how hard it is to write a review with out giving away any of the story. Some cool battles involving the Marauders, x-men, New x-men, and a mutant I won't name and there followers.Not to mention some GREAT, GREAT art. So I'm going to end my review now cuz' I don't want to give away anything. X-Men: Messiah Complex provides more mutant thinning of the marvel universe some important some not so important. It provides some answers to some of the x-futures how they come to be.
so i have no idea what happened in those pages with the big fight and how the x-men are suddenly fighting predator x. then it goes right back to the story after that. not cool. this is probably just a problem with my specific book, but there is a 16 page, uh, misprint, i guess, where the pages were copied from a few pages earlier and it replaces the story for those 16 pages. its in chapter 12 or new x-men #46.
But if you like X-Men then this is a great little page turner.The opening 1-shot drawn by Silvesrti is pure eyesex. Nothing groundbreaking.
The hardcover is worth it, so check it out. Talking about mutant-only crossovers, this one takes the cake. Superb story, and good art.
