Good review guys!
 
I didn't read every single issue of the last event but how is it that the rest of the X-Men STILL don't know about X-Force after Necrosha? 
 
Personally, I'm glad this is a crossover, I've always preferred crossovers to regular events cause you get a new chapter every week and it isn't stretched out over 6-8 months. ^_^

I cant wait for second coming :D!! and it's a shame that 7 main characters will die during this event though.... I hope to god that none of the new mutants will die......it will be too soon....I've only just got them back!!! but on a brighter note , I can't wait to see where this event is heading!!!

I loved seeing the Right's Smile Faces!  I've always been a big fan of those creepy happy villains.  The giant smile hides the identity of a thousand bigotted humans.  As for the Sapien League...? M'eh, not so much.  But at least they are still around and didn't just disappear after Suicide Leper/Not Forgotten. 
 
Hope's not a gentle little girl, but I do agree that she's upset over more than just a destroyed school.  They're arrived back into the past/present day, and suddenly it's not the golden place she expected it to be; it was just another place filled with rubble & death.   But...
 

Great review! I love x-force (but not sure wheather to check out necrosha or not, cos of the mixed views), loved messiah complex so i am hyped for this. especially with david finch on art. YES!! isnt he also doin the art for the last chapter or is going to be someone else. because if it is going to be someone else, id love to see marc silvstri, humberto ramos or even chris bachalo doing it. Knowing my luck, that is highly unlikely. 
 
Anyway, looks awesome.

Wow, what a great review! Now I have to get a copy...

I was so looking forward to this, but I think I've talked myself into waiting for the trade. Does anyone know how long it takes for Marvel to release those these days? Because 14 chapters plus spin-offs and tie-ins and what not is just over my budget, and I'd much rather have just one book with no adverts for such an event. It looks great though.

Be gentle, Yost reads Comic Vine.
 
And Hodge is such a sleaze without even trying. Glad he's getting a lot of screentime this arc.

@xerox-kitty: 

Oh yeah, i know. I was just talking about the final chapter as it will be a one shot i think. was wondering if itd be finch or someone as good like silverstri doing the interior for that last chapter. 
 
Cool. I've most of x-force, esspecially the first arc, which was awesome. so, i guess i will have to check out Nercosha.

I forgot; I liked the way that they briefly mention that Bishop is out of the way now.  Yet when they came under attack, Hope first thought it was Bishop... I suspect he'll somehow be back and part of the final battle.  Much like at the end of Messiah CompleX when we'd forgotten about him, and then he popped back up out of nowhere & shot the Professor.

7 main characters? You're joking right? "

This was a good review video. A bit of a reverse here. Normally, it's G-Man with the highest rating.
 
I think an advantage Scott has over Xavier is that he's not a psychic. Namor and Magneto, in the past, probably were usually too cautious about Xavier. Suspecting he might use his powers on them. With Scott, they both know he can't do that. Wouldn't you be cautious around someone who can read minds and you don't trust?

G-man where did you get that scooby tee?!

I liked this Issue ALOT! I give it a 5.

" @Beatrix: yep 7 characters will die during second coming (matt fraction said that 7  well known and loved characters will die during second coming,he revealed this information in a old ign interview) "

" @Benzo:  they better not kill off Rogue or Psylocke!! "

Im actually surprised Finch did the artwork of the first issues. Now I have to see this series through to the end.

Characterization in this issue was excellent. Loved the Pixie/Illyana moment, Loved the Cyclops/Namor moment, loved the X-23/Nightcrawler moment. My only real complaint is, why does Psylocke have telepathy? That bothers me so much as, originally stated by Matt Frac via Psylocke, she could only alter the way people see things, so why is she probing minds and what not? And why doesn't Emma frost do anything anymore?? Grrr

It looked like Psylocke was going to back up Kurt in the Second Coming intro.  I hope there's a solid divide over this issue.

Cable and Bishop shoots each other... Northstar will come'a runnin' to the battle scene and gets killed by a ricochet... Nightcrawler, Pixie and Illyana will accidentally teleport through one another for gory death... and Rogue - well, just dies...

great issue, liked seeing the smiley drones again. only gripe was the same as xerox-kitty, being the X-men being surprised to
find out about X-force, also Nightcrawler

wooooow babs give a 5 out of 5

Yost: I think it will have an effect, but I don’t think it’s going to be anything overt – you know, like Apocalypse coming down in a giant spaceship to go after Hope or anything. But I think there was a point to the "Messiah War" [in that it] showed the two sides of Hope – one as a savior and the other as a destroyer. And I think that’s where "Messiah War" really played a large part, because you’d show the X-Men dealing with this girl who’s not necessarily living the best life and she very easily might go the [wrong] way. I mean that girl – her entire life – has lived through hell, and Wolverine knows that. He knows and he’s starting to question whether sending her off with Cable – which was Cyclops' choice – was the best choice. Wolverine is starting to question a lot of Cyclops' choices.

Kyle: And if you talk about our team specifically, the effects of what they went through and their experiences with Hope and Cable…yeah, that's a big part of it. As far as Stryfe and Apocalypse, those are ripples in the X-Men's lives that we’ll see sort of down the path – not in this current story. But "Messiah War" had a big effect on our team and in their relationship with [Hope and Cable]…specifically Hope and X-23. They had a very similar life. They both grew up with lots of strife – not the character – pain, anguish, death. That's a connection they shared when they first met, and that’s something that will keep them bonded as their story continues."

It's possible he is, but he gave up quickly after Tyler exposed his origin and then had to make deals with the underworld to try and get back after that. Apocalypse mentioned that he was powerful but had no strength. It depends on who's writing him but I have a feeling after Cable croaks in Second Coming (See still somewhat on topic) and they want to bring him back a year or so later, kicking out Stryfe's personality to give Cable his body will show him to be a pushover again.
 
As for him claiming to be as immortal as Apocalypse, I think he was talking out of his ass. He also said he was the most powerful mutant ever and I'm sure Legion or X-man could give him a run for his money.

I think his quote was "I'm the most powerful mutant on the planet past, present and future!!!!" so that was just more grandstanding. 
 
Stryfe was mentored with his powers by  Madame Sanctity who was a complete nutbag so that might (cheaply) explain why he's so inconsistent with his powers.
 
The Legion from Legion Quest vs. X-man would be a good battle. I think it was a mistake to resurrect Legion but what's done is done and maybe we'll see them clash.
 

Thought it was good, won't be getting all the tie in's but im still following Uncanny so hopefully i can still get a jist of the story from that alone.
