DESCRIPTION
Published in 2007-2008 by Marvel Comics, 'Messiah Complex' is a crossover event that spans several X-Men-related titles. Written by a team of writers including Ed Brubaker, Mike Carey, Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, and Peter David, with art by Marc Silvestri, Billy Tan, Chris Bachalo, and others, the story begins with the birth of the first mutant child since the events of 'House of M'. This birth reignites hope for the mutant race and leads to a frantic race to find and protect the child. Key characters include the X-Men, the Marauders, the Purifiers, and Cable, who takes the child into the future to protect her. The story unfolds across multiple series, including 'Uncanny X-Men', 'X-Men', 'New X-Men', and 'X-Factor'. It is notable for its impact on the X-Men universe, setting the stage for future storylines such as 'Messiah War' and 'Second Coming'.
