X-Men Second Coming #1 (2010)

$6.00
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by CHRISTOPHER YOST & CRAIG KYLE
Pencils & Variant Cover by DAVID FINCH
Cover by ADI GRANOV
MANY WILL BE WOUNDED. SEVERAL WILL DIE. The climax of four years of X-Men stories is the X-Event of 2010! What started in HOUSE OF M with the Decimation of mutantkind and erupted with the first new mutant birth in MESSIAH COMPLEX finishes here. In the epic crossover SECOND COMING, Cyclops' faith pays off when Cable returns to the present with Hope, the girl he believes to be the mutant messiah. But will she be the savior or destroyer of mutantkind? We may never know, as she is the target of an initiative for mutant eradication unlike anything they X-Men have ever experienced. Many will be wounded. Several will die. Is Hope worth it?

BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS

I’m not a regular buyer of X-men comics. Once a year I’ll pick one up, leaving it to chance on whether I hit the jackpot, or regret that I didn’t buy a milk shake, or maybe a couple Marvel Tales back issues, instead. But no worries this time. Yes, it’s a jackpot, with a number #1 that does it’s job. Number ones should give me setup, which they do here, like telling me this is a world that lost it’s ability to produce new mutants, with a single, solitary exception. They should make me care, too, which it does by focusing on the expectations surrounding one character, but leaving important details for later. Writer Craig Kyle keeps it simple, walking me slowly through the X-men world, with David Finch’s art spellbinding me with details. Overall it’s a good issue to buy; I suggest skipping the Marvel Tales this month. They’ll still have some next month.
I give it 9 out of 10 Grahams
