Some time ago many of us who had read this event expressed our overall disgust at how we personally felt this story was executed. As it turns out, this series was getting pretty rave reviews and after a long conversation with one of my closest friends and fellow comic fans, who really liked the story, I decided to re-open this discussion to see if anyone else has read this story yet and has a positive opinion about it.

I personally am still not in favor of this event. I will admit that one of my major reasons for disliking this event is purely based off of the choice of villain(s) who I could not take seriously, although Jason Aaron has been praised for them with comments like the following:

Quote:

Aaron has a talent for crafting quirky, memorable villains in a very brief span of pages, and that talent is readily apparent with Kade Kilgore

I also felt like there were better opportunities throughout the Messiah trilogy's X-Force events that could have caused the split between Wolverine and Cyclops than what actually did.

Now I not only read this story, but I bought the Hard Cover collected edition off the positive things I'd heard from people I know who read the single issues at the time of release. So my disappointment in those areas I described is accentuated by the money I spent to feel that way.

I wouldn't want that to discourage others who may very well enjoy this book for the moments that were good. To say the least I really liked the artwork towards the end of the book and the fight scene between Wolvie and Cyke was good.

I'm definitely interested to hear anything positive others have to say from their reading experience.
