The mutant messiah trilogy comes to a close with a heartbreaking story about a girl who loses her father, and an elf the world loved. If this story was a creator-owned project it would be one of the very best out there, but because it's mainstream all these dead characters will return to life in another week or so. Still, this remains an excellent conclusion to the mutant messiah trilogy, and develops Hope as one of the most interesting new mutant introduced in the past 20 years.

We're starting to make some movement here. Part 3 looks at Messiah Complex, one of the largest X-Men events to come along in a very long time. It's the beginning of the "Messiah Trilogy," and prepares readers for mutant's future, or lack thereof.

After the devastating events of Avengers Disassembled, something must be done with the Scarlet Witch, or else all life on Earth could be wiped out with a mere thought. House of M is the direct follow-up, and completely changes the Marvel Universe's mutant race. It's one of the best events Marvel has put out in the last decade and a must-read for anyone trying to get into superhero comics today.

If you're looking to get back into comics, or simply interested in seeing a giant 10-year storyline run its course, you've come to the right place. Jarrod goes over each and every major Marvel comic event since 2004, starting with the now-classic Avengers Disassembled arc, which saw the Avenger disband for the very first time. This storyline also laid the groundwork for the next decade of stories Marvel has told. It's hard to believe, but even this summer's huge Avengers vs. X-Men event all began with this story from 2004. Enjoy!

I don’t normally hype comics; heck, we barely hype up games, but I’ve made an exception this one time.  You see, three years ago writer J Michael Straczynski finished his five year stint on Amazing Spider-Man with the most controversial superhero story ever, One More Day.  He would later argue that [...]
