The comment that got me in trouble? I hear my manager and a customer talking about the Messiah CompleX as he's picking up a good chunk of issues and Mister Manager is going on about how this 'really changes things for the X-Men' and it seems like there's a lot more at stake. I ask, quite innocently I'll admit, what exactly is at stake? We kind of know why Sinister would want the baby (genetic experimentation) and why the Purifiers would want the baby (Destroy All Mutants!) but why is Cyclops so dead set on no one else, not even his own son (Hey! Back from the dead! You'd think it'd make him happy), getting to the finish line with the baby. Why he'd sacrifice Madrox to learn about the future. Why he's kicking Xavier to the curb and hiring on a secret super stabbing team. Why he and Wolverine seem so chummy all of a sudden!
Right.
So I know I stopped reading Messiah CompleX due to the fact I couldn't tell what was going on, why Cyclops would send a kill-death squad after his own son after assuming seemingly suddenly that Cable sicc'd Sentenels on the Mansion (long story) and why everyone seemed so blasé about sending Madrox into two different timelines without 1) figuring out what kind of effect this would have an effect on the original guy and 2) expecting him TO KILL HIMSELF to download the new info to the original guy. Yikes, talk about forgetting to care about the men under your command. I understand they want to make Scott Summers 'x-treeeme' to placate some readers (like a man who'd watched the love of his life DIE horrifically how many times and led the X-Men through Hell and Back, sacrificed his life to try and destroy Apocalypse and raised his son by travelling to the future ISN'T hardcore enough for you people), but come on! This is getting into '90s Image title territory. Expect big pouches soon.
Enough complaining. We sold out of X-Factor #27 (part 11 of 13, better end this nonesense quick!), but I managed to grab a copy and read it before it was a black spot on our shelves. Warning: SPOILERS.
