Press Release

November 28th, 2007 - The newly formed X-Force has found their target—the new mutant child—but with a surprising foe in the way, can victory be achieved? In New X-Men #45, featuring Chapter Eight of the sold-out Messiah CompleX, the mutant strike force battles for their very survival, while the New X-Men are tasked with a mission of grave importance that will determine their futures. But with the X-Men’s ranks depleted, X-Force engaged in mortal combat, Layla and Madrox held captive and Predator X on the move, the future doesn’t look bright for the forces of good!

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on New X-Men #45 and all upcoming chapters of Messiah ConmpleX, as all released chapters have sold out quickly at Diamond. Once the deadly three way battle for the new mutant concludes, each side must deal with the life-changing consequences. Will this new X-Force survive their first mission? Who has the new mutant? There’s only one place for the answers and it’s New X-Men #45, featuring Messiah CompleX Chapter Eight.

Don’t miss a single chapter of Messiah CompleX.
