Damn man back in the day X-Men events were fucking great!
So Hope decides it's time to head back to the main timeline. Cable agrees and off they go. Of course when they arrive it all goes to hell. The first half of this book actually feels very similar to Messiah Complex where we have ton of people chasing other people. This time though once things calm down for a moment and Hope is now with the X-Men after losing some big members, the real danger shows up. This becomes a darker more fucked up event than expected and really shows the complexity of the X-men as a race and how they are working together to survive.
Good: Really loved the pacing of this. Each and every issue goes into each other really well. It never feels like a slow part because it's all damn exciting. The art ranges from good (at worst) to GREAT. The teams in here all clash well from the Uncanny team to X-Force, to the new mutants. The deaths stick and work really well here. The fights are epic, and truly show the X-Men grittiness at times. Oh and the ending sets up the future series well.
Bad: I thought it might been a bit overstuffed at times, things like having Xavier coming in and Legion and such.
Overall this was great. A very compelling and entertaining ending to the trilogy of x-men events (Messiah Complex-Messiah War-Second Coming) and a easy 4.5 out of 5.
