X-MEN: SECOND COMING

BEGINNING MARCH 2010!

We want to like the X-MEN, this is a fact. It’s just something that resides in nearly every comic fans DNA. Whether we know it or not, nearly all of us have felt the constant presence of Marvel’s famous mutants in our lives. Growing up in the late ’80s, and early ’90s, it was impossible to escape the X-MEN. I remember getting up every Saturday, sitting through the torture of crappy cartoons, and waiting for the FOX KIDS! X-Men cartoon to come on. I remember snagging up figures of characters I’d never heard of.. because they were X-MEN characters. I mean, what 9 year old knows the difference between Gideon and that Marauder with the tank body. Well, aside from the obvious lack of tank-body that Gideon had. The fact though is when something is as incredibly popular as X-MEN is, there’s going to be a virtual onslaught of stories coming out that spring from the X-Lore. And, the rule of averages says that not all of them are going to be good.

Well, one of the most recent that really stands out as quality stuff was MESSIAH COMPLEX, and the subsequent MESSIAH WAR, following the discovery of the first mutant born since HOUSE OF M, and now venturing into the territory of her being brought to our time.

This spring and summer, the finale to what began in MESSIAH COMPLEX begins in the pages of X-MEN: SECOND COMING, and honestly, it has to be the Return of Jean Grey.. I mean, the clues are obvious. But, what’s the hook? That’s where I’m curious to.
