NEW X-MEN # 44
Written by Christopher Yost & Craig Kyle

Usually give this title a full review, but it got sucked into Messiah Complex like all the other X-titles. The issue felt like someone from editorial told Yost and Kyle to make the New X-Men act completely irrational and go on a suicide mission against the Purifiers so this event could have "meaning" with some cheap deaths.
While the issue was probably the best chapter of Messiah Complex so far, with the action finally ratcheting up, I can't honestly enjoy the issue because of the way the characters seem to be forced into this situation simply for the sake of the event. Also, what's up with the X-Men? Five of them are going to take on the 20 or so Marauders in their own base? Sinister, himself, could probably take out that entire X-team.
However, if you don't read New X-Men regularly, you'll probably love this issue and consider it top notch. Oh ya, one last thing, Layla was awesome this issue in case any X-Factor fans were wondering.
Verdict - Check It
