This is sort of reminding of the first part of DA/Uncanny UTOPIA.  Remember how blown away we all were with SILVESTRI's art and how awesome that issue was?  I just hope this story never loses its steam.  This just smells like a constant battle due to how many friggin' villains there are!  The X-Men are going to have like um-teen boss battles, or at least they should.
 
I read this and realized that DAVID FINCH's art is NOT going to translate well in DC.  He's too dark.  He uses the hell out of shadows and he does it better than almost anyone who draws comics today.  I couldn't see Finch pulling off a run on any character other than a BATMAN-U type.  But maybe he'll surprise me. 
 
But back to Second Coming.  I really like that this entire arc will be covered in the next three months.  No need to drag this through an entire year.  Can't wait to find out who all gets the ax.

@NXH: I think all the usual creative teams on the X-Titles are going to be involved.  So it'll be Terry Dodson, Mike Choi & Sonia Oback, and Greg Land (on Legacy instead of Uncanny).  I don't know if that applies to the whole story though. 
 
As for Necrosha, I think it's what you make of it.  There's always a difference between waiting each month to read the next chapter, and sitting down to read it all in one go.  However, if you've read X-Force from the start of this new series then it really is worth reading, since it ties up a lot of story-lines that were set up since the start of the series.

Great review! I love x-force (but not sure wheather to check out necrosha or not, cos of the mixed views), loved messiah complex so i am hyped for this. especially with david finch on art. YES!! isnt he also doin the art for the last chapter or is going to be someone else. because if it is going to be someone else, id love to see marc silvstri, humberto ramos or even chris bachalo doing it. Knowing my luck, that is highly unlikely. 
 
Anyway, looks awesome.

I loved seeing the Right's Smile Faces!  I've always been a big fan of those creepy happy villains.  The giant smile hides the identity of a thousand bigotted humans.  As for the Sapien League...? M'eh, not so much.  But at least they are still around and didn't just disappear after Suicide Leper/Not Forgotten. 
 
Hope's not a gentle little girl, but I do agree that she's upset over more than just a destroyed school.  They're arrived back into the past/present day, and suddenly it's not the golden place she expected it to be; it was just another place filled with rubble & death.   But...
 

  
I found it strange that the X-Men still didn't know about X-Force.  Considering that they've been around for a year (timewise), and there has been so many changes in characters like Elixir & Archangel, and they've even been out in the middle of New York City slicing people up in the middle of the day... how is it even remotely possible for the X-Men to not know that X-Force exists?! 
 
Other than that, the writing was tight &  on-character.  The art was Finch's best since Messiah Complex (I really thought it was messy during Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia).  However, what I don't like is... the next issue.  This issue is a great first part, but from the preview alone the second issue is sub-standard compared to this opening issue. 
 
(Take it easy with the background music, it was getting a little hard to hear Tony towards the end of the review).

@Beatrix: yep 7 characters will die during second coming (matt fraction said that 7  well known and loved characters will die during second coming,he revealed this information in a old ign interview) actually if you think about it, there's gonna be huge number  of Bastions robots going after all the mutants  and there will probably be more deaths than just seven mutants , (even x-factor's in trouble!!!!)

If this is true then holy moley! What are everyone's thoughts on the cover? 
I personally love Adi Ganov and think his covers are giving the book just that little bit more of an edge, as though it's truly a special event for the X-Men.  
 
Also, are we having different artists for every issue, if so that might suck a little, but it might be good; who knows!? I would say this issue is awesome though, if a little short, I think they could have just had a little more in it, but otherwise awesome!

Good review guys!
 
I didn't read every single issue of the last event but how is it that the rest of the X-Men STILL don't know about X-Force after Necrosha? 
 
Personally, I'm glad this is a crossover, I've always preferred crossovers to regular events cause you get a new chapter every week and it isn't stretched out over 6-8 months. ^_^
