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.
