The Messiah trilogy books were some of the first x-men books I read. I enjoyed them greatly and still love them to this day with Second coming being my fav wig messiah complex just right behind it. I was wondering if I was the only one who felt these stories were some of the all time great ones
Messiah Complex is contender for one of the best x-stories of all time.
Second Coming is REALLY good.
Messiah War is a turd.
Probably my favorite X-men story of the last 15 years.

I don’t think Messiah war was up to par but I don’t think it was trash either imo
I think Messiah Complex is one of the better action-oriented crossovers for sure.
Yeah that and second coming just had a real epic high stakes feel to them
My all time favorite. Needs the omnibus treatment.
The Messiah Trilogy did a wonderful job investing the entire franchise in a way that I don't think any of the X-Events have since. EVERYONE got to play a significant role, not just the same handful of core characters while everyone else just put in token wallpaper appearances.
I'd like to see a line-wide crossover — all hands on deck, every single book has issues that are part of the event itself, not just tie-ins — again.

Everything about that crossover felt dire and important. Nothing about any of the books today feels like those did.
I loved it. It got me back into reading comics after a 8 year hiatus. As others have said it just seemed so important and connected. I don't think any crossover since has even come remotely close.
To think Schism was what was next... ugh
Second Coming and Messiah War are good, Messiah Complex is one of my favorite crossovers
Nightcrawlers death made me cry :[
It was alright. I've read better and much wrost....

Yep that’s another thing I loved about it
