Messiah Complex, the battle is joined.
November 25, 2007Chapter 4 – New X-Men #44
Blessed are the children, Blessings and Joy shall be theirs
Theirs is a Dream of Hope,
That they shall not be the Last
Children are the future, they are hope for a better world. But how can they themselves have hope when they are the last generation of their species?
Before the Decimation, Xavier’s was a vibrant place, a school for the next generation of mutants, a sanctuary from the flatscans who would see them burn. After M-Day, this all changed. What was once simply the latest batch of students to walk the halls of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, became the last generation of their kind.
And then, the killing started. But that is a discussion for another time…
This chapter of Messiah Complex finds the X-kids deciding to use this chance to take revenge on the Purifiers, for all the pain they have caused. All of them save for Dust, Elixir and David go to strike against the Purifiers. Little do they know what is waiting for them.
We also catch up with Layla and the Madrox dupe who have traved to an alternate NYC of the future, what they find there isn’t exactly pleasant.
The team of Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Angel have arrived in the Antarctic to confront the Marauders.
All in all, a very good chapter in MC, even though I have some issues with it. Very much looking forward to the next chapter in Adjectiveless #205.
Instead of just summarizing what happened and then telling us you ‘have some issues with it’ why not leave the storytelling to the comic itself and explain these ‘issues.’ Most everyone reading your site has read the comic. We’re here to read your reactions….which you didn’t give here.
well, I don’t want to spoil anything.
spoilers shouldnt matter, as long as you say spoilers before you do it, it should be okay. i do agree, though.
