X-Men: Messiah Complex Checklist

Posted on November 6th, 2007 in Checklist, Marvel News by colin

X-Men Messiah Complex #1A Cover by David Finch

Since the events of M-Day, the mutant population has been reduced to a mere handful and no new mutants have been born. But all that changes in the highly-anticipated, extra-sized X-MEN: MESSIAH COMPLEX ONE-SHOT, from Eisner and Harvey winning “Best Writer” Ed Brubaker and superstar artist Marc Silvestri, when the X-Men discover a new mutant has arrived. But this cause for celebration is tainted by the early arrival of the Marauders and the Purifiers—and with those two groups involved, the X-Men may not find this mutant! But if they do, will this new player prove to be their savior or a harbinger of doom for mutantkind? A perfect jumping on point for new readers, this special one-shot sets the stage for the jaw-dropping changes to come! This issue features NINE extra pages of hints of what’s to come, drawn by some of the hottest talents today while red-hot artists David Finch and Silvestri provide two stunning covers, with the latter available as the X-Men: Messiah CompleX Poster.

This October, the hunt is on…and the prize is the fate of mutantkind! You can’t afford to miss what will become known as the most crucial chapter in mutant history and it all begins in X-MEN: MESSIAH COMPLEX ONE-SHOT!

Marvel’s newest X-event, X-Men: Endangered Species, is a series of seventeen eight-page back-up stories featuring many of Marvel’s A-list talent including: Mike Carey, Scot Eaton, Mike Perkins, Christopher Yost, Christos Gage and fresh off his historic run on ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, Mark Bagley. Running through X-MEN, NEW X-MEN, UNCANNY X-MEN and X-FACTOR, this powerful tale will set the stage for a shocking new status quo.

“No more mutants.”
                  — Wanda Maximoff

With three simple words, the entire mutant race was decimated, reduced to a mere fraction of its former size. Now Beast, with a team of unlikely allies, must race against the clock to prevent their own extinction.

Leading into this fall’s x-citing X-Men event The Messiah CompleX, X-Men: Endangered Species will forever change the face of the Mutant race and the status quo of the Marvel Universe. It all begins in June with X-MEN: ENDANGERED SPECIES and then the crossover kicks off in X-MEN #200, continuing throughout the summer. Don’t miss a chapter, because if Beast fails…so does the entire mutant race!
