Messiah Complex – A Letdown

April 9, 2008

After completing the so-called next big X-Men crossover Messiah Complex, I was completely underwhelmed. They just have to do the very predictable plot of killing a major character, which in comics usually means that this character will be resurrected again after some issues. And I don’t like the art and the battle scenes look convoluted.

I miss the good old X-Men days when Chris Claremont was writing and Jim Lee or Marc Silvestri were doing the arts. I miss the good old X-Men team dynamics. Now there are just too many characters that will make returning readers feel out of place.

I love to love the X-Men again and hopefully that will happen again soon…
