X-Men: Messiah Complex by
3.0
I know little to nothing about the X-Men, comic book-wise, so there were a number of things in here that confused me (like who the Purifiers, Marauders, and the Reavers are; what the differences are between them; and what O*N*E Headquarters is), but I managed to piece together what was going on, more or less.
That, in itself, should say something about the quality of the writing in Messiah Complex - that a complete newbie like me was able to mostly follow the storylines.
But the reason Messiah Complex gets a 3 star rating rather than a 4 star rating is because I noticed some inconsistencies. For example, the baby's eye color changed. First, she had brown-gray eyes, then pale blue eyes, and then bright and vivid green eyes. A more obvious example would be Sinister's change in skin color from Nightcrawler blue to a light vampire-esque gray/white.
