X-Men: Second Coming

The final part of the trilogy that started in Messiah Complex

Intended as a conclusion to Cable's efforts to save Hope from Bishop, who has hunted the so called Mutant Messiah since her birth; the series also builds on the Utopia, Nation X and Necrosha storylines of 2009 in the X-Men books.

The story centers on the return of Cable and Hope Summers to the present day and Bastion's final campaign to destroy the X-Men

Why is Cyclops leaking? It looks like a 5-year-old took a red crayon to a page of art.

It's a very long and difficult retcon to explain but the Second Coming: The Promise one-shot clearly states that for this story Jean is the host to a separate entitiy known as the PF.

Rachel was once meant to be the child of Jean and the Phoenix...but that was crap and sounds like crap so I doubt they're using that story for Hope.

You'll just have to wait and see but she's not Jean.

I enjoyed the opening issue.

I have a feeling this could be the kind of storyline I originally liked the X-Men comics for. I base this on nothing.

I might like it because of Bastion. I love a good sentinel story. They tend to feel like a shadow of the past when X-men was in its prime.

So, bets anyone?

Spoiler:
I'm gonna take Nightcrawler, as you know, then conveniently enough the most ethical X-man is out of the way. Laying the path for more sanctioned mass murder.
