The Rebirth of the X-men
Review date: 2008-11-20 Rating: 8 out of 10
If you are a fan of the X-men comic book then this is truly required reading. First off, make sure you are reasonably up to date with the main X story arcs of the last few years, namely House of M, Decimation, Deadly Genesis and Endangered Species otherwise you are going to have a real problem in following most of the action. While I readily admit that Messiah Complex is by no means perfect, it is most definately the best Marvel crossover in a long time, with most story arcs fitting together quite neatly. This book is also important as it marks the moment when the X-groups are no longer Xaviers responsibility and become Cyclop's X-men.

i decided to read this on th basis tht it shud be quite gd!
hwever this is probably one of the best comic collections ive ever read!
fantastic, great artwork and a great story!!
this story really tied up a lot of loose ends and opened a hell of a lot more too!
this is an essential read for ne, xmen, marvel, comic fan...but this is such an exciting read that it allows even a general reader into the world of the xmen!
the truly gr8 story and def the best since M-Day! in my opinion!

This is the best X-men story in a long time am not going to give anything away but with all the x-men teams X-Factor and various villains and certain betrayal's within the teams this is well worth the read. I recomend this to any new fan or old. Messiah Complex rules.
First big X-men crossover in ages and it's great.

What can I say about this, the art is a mixed bag aside from a few chapters it is pretty consistant in style. It ties up many loose ends from the various x-men comics it also sets about changing everything. Which is good as there have been a number of long term problems with the x-men books. It is a pretty epic story and in someways could have been longer to fully show the scale of events. A minor niggle.
As a big sceptic when it comes to "epic" events, this has brought my hope back

Okay, I collected house of M and every other title with it, I bought Civil was and every other title with it and these two really made me sceptical about marvel's epic stories, I read World War Hulk which I wasnt expecting much from anyway but this story right here is brilliant. Firstly, when I was reading it, I didnt have to wait a month for the next story but more importantly secondly, it was a great story, some good twists and some great battles. Okay, People do die, though they arn't significant (and some have died before, lol).
I would definitly advise people to read it as it threads loads of different stories together to create an epic tale.
