"Messiah Complex" Chapter X
Cover by David Finch, Jason Keith
Variant Cover by Simone Bianchi, Simone Peruzzi, Andrea Silvestri
Reeling from the events of "Messiah CompleX," the surviving mutants reassess Xavier's dream amidst the rubble of the mansion. Betrayed by one of their own, and mourning the loss of former allies, is peaceful coexistence still an option? The only thing that's certain is an uncertain future for mutantkind. Is anyone safe in a world without X-Men?
In the wake of "Messiah CompleX," there are no X-Men... Something strange is going on in San Francisco and Archangel gets pulled into the middle of it. Can Cyclops and Emma Frost save him and get out alive? And Wolverine, Colossus and Nightcrawler's road trip takes a turn for the dangerous.
Emma's bad dreams continue, and, man, when the White Queen has a long night, we all have long nights. Peter finds horror in the Port of Oakland. The assembly of the fringe science team continues with a big - BIG - discovery that will probably kill them all before they have a chance to fix that whole no-more-mutants thing. And with the Humanity NOW! Coalition stoking fires of anti-mutant hate, Cyclops implores his X-Men to keep a low profile... Ha!
Things have never been worse for the X-Men. They’re stuck in an impregnable dome of Bastion’s creation. As if that's not bad enough, inside this dome is a portal to the "Days of Future Past" timeline through which thousands of Nimrod Sentinels are pouring. Cyclops has sent Cable, Cypher and X-Force on a suicide mission into the future to destroy the portal, but do they stand a chance?
The public gets what the public wants -and the public wants “X-Men.” The Sublime Corporation is here to provide, at a cost. Both financially and for the safety of the entire world. It's the gala product launch that everyone will be talking about. If only the actual X-Men weren’t dying of the power-sapping flu on Utopia so they could stop this.
