x-men: messiah complex run has been pretty good so far. and x-men #205 is the best issue i’ve read since i resumed collecting comicbooks two years ago.

got this from her.

day ten
villain spotlight - sinister
as always, we turn to x-men editor nick lowe for comments on our topics of interest.
nick lowe: “here’s the deal with sinister — he’s been around forever, but the best sinister stories (imo - “mutant massacre” and “x-cutioner’s song” don’t ever explain or really mention his motivation! what does sinister want? [...]

“if you truly like someone, you’d tell her how you feel, and you’ll just accept her reaction, even if you’ll be turned down. you’ve professed, and in the end it’s the only thing that matters.”

a close friend said the same thing. though [...]

day nine
cyclops’s command
if you don’t entirely believe cyclops is going to be a believable, interesting character in the crossover, maybe nick lowe can change your mind. the enthusiastic editor returned to us with some comments about scott summers. we asked lowe three key questions: 1) what makes cyclops such an integral part of the x-men?

day eight
the advance review of x-men: messiah complex #1

day seven
villain spotlight - the reavers

nick lowe: “to talk about the reavers, i think you need to start with lady deathstrike. first, uncanny x-men #205 with lady d, wolverine and katie power (i think?). so cool! just general badassery on every level. great story. great art. barry windsor-smith is in his own category. from there to [...]

day six
villain spotlight - the purifiers
axel alonso, man of few words, kept his analysis of the purifiers brief. “the purifers? three words: kill the baby,” said alonso. “this is their mission: make sure the baby is terminated, no matter the cost.”
nick lowe chimed in with his thoughts as well. “the purifiers were a surprise. if [...]

day five
omg look teh coverz!!!
nick lowe: “we knew we wanted david finch as soon as we saw his killer x-men #200 cover (which rules!!!). so the idea of david doing all the messiah complex covers was a no-brainer. no one does drama like david. anyone and everyone he draws looks badass.
“and the variants have been [...]

day four
a killer writing team
but marvel found a way around all that, and gave us something that’s more fun in some respects - they gave us an outline for the first three chapters of the event. before we get to that, we asked nick lowe to chat about why he’s so psyched about the writing team [...]
