An X-Man Will Fall in the Latest Chapter of Messiah CompleX

Praise continues to pour in for the first major X-Men event in 10 years, Messiah CompleX. I kind of hate that I missed out on this one, truth be told. I haven't been into the X-Men since I was a kid - the coup de grace for me was when they killed-off the Morlocks by blowing up the tunnels. I wasn't reading them by then anyway, but when I saw that issue, I quit picking up even the occasional Uncanny X-Men. This here's an official Marvel press release:

It's the moment you demanded—the X-Men take the battle to Sinister and his Marauders… but will everyone survive? The red-hot, sold-out Messiah Complex continues in X-Men #205, as Chapter Five of this X-Men event brings the X-Men face to face with their enemies on multiple fronts! As the New X-Men continue their battle against a shocking opponent and Cyclops' strike team seek the new mutant child, could a threat closer to home spell the X-Men's end? Meanwhile, Layla and Madrox continue their secret mission to uncover the truth about mutant extinction. Acclaimed writer Mike Carey and fan-favorite artist Chris Bachalo bring you the more action than you can shake an adamantium claw at, bub!

Plus, a last page shocker you never saw coming that will shift the balance of power forever as the true whereabouts of the new mutant are revealed!

Critics and fans everywhere continue to praise the first major X-men event in ten years! Comixtreme.Com's Gabriel Diaz deemed Messiah CompleX "uber-recommended" and added, "I have to tell you that it delivered what was promised."

"The storyline hits the ground running, and they've convinced me that it's a big deal," said Paul O'Brien.

As friends become foes and new opponents emerge, not everyone's walking away from this battle unscathed—and there will be a reckoning! Don't miss Messiah CompleX Chapter 5, appearing in X-Men #205!
