    "What's Next?"

    Chapter 6 of Second Coming takes a breath to remember their fallen comrade, as they should.  As the X-Men, new and old, gather to lay their team-mate to rest confrontations are imminent.  The question remains: Is Hope worth it?
     

    What You Need To Know.

     If you haven't read X-Force 26, I don't suggest you read any further.  
    SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.
    Hope and Cable have finally reached Utopia.  Bastion's plans have yet to be fully revealed.  Illyana was transported somewhere.  Cerebra is down.  
     

    The Good

     The Funeral scenes.  
    Fraction does a good job showcasing the characters, even if some of them feel out of place. 
    The change of pace was something that was needed.  
    Wolverine.
    The continuity is something that continues to impress.  
    The last few pages were the best written and drawn of the issue. 
     

    The Bad

     Terry Dodson's art feels so out of place.  
    Some of the Dialogue seemed a little off.
     

    The Verdict.

     It certainly wasn't the best issue of the arc.  It wasn't action packed, but it did give the character a send-off.  I know some people aren't fans of this creative team, but they showcase this issue to best of their ability.  The story progresses, and the continuity is still there.  This is the breather before the action should start again.  If you haven't been reading Second Coming, this really isn't where you should start.  It's approaching the halfway point and as good as the synopsis' are in the beginning you should check out the previous issues first.  While it wasn't the best issue of the series it had it's moments and the send-off was a much needed aspect of the comic.  
     
     

    3.5/5

       The sacrifice of one person brings them together in this issue. The good: The X-Men expressing their goodbye to Kurt was great. Especially Logan’s, was the only one I felt honest and real. The other was the typical thing that people say. The art is good, like how Beast look so angry wanting to rip Scotts head. Other part of this issue that I liked was one of Logan having blood in his hands, now that’s emotion. The bad: I wanted more. I felt this issue very short of what I wanted to read a...

      Everyone is losing hope in Hope! 0

      The Uncanny X-Men #524 - Second Coming, Chapter Six by harleyquinnhawkgirl on May 09, 2010

      So in this issue of Uncanny X-MEN, we start out in the sick bay. Karma's leg has been severed and Kitty is still in the tube. Magneto is being treated to as well. We get back to the whole Kurt thing. Everyone is expressing their dismay in their own ways. Hope is now being blamed and sought upon as a savior. Hope keeps explaining to everyone that she is not a savior and that she is not just an anbody. Scott goes to calm her down. Nathan explains that Scott is his father. The troops head off back ...
