For months, fans have known that one would rise to lead mutants, one might be their savior and another would betray them—and the traitor's true identity will leave you speechless! In X-MEN #206, featuring Chapter 9 of "Messiah CompleX," the X-Men, Cable, The Purifiers and Reavers must all pick up the pieces from their recent conflicts. Who lives? Who dies? And just what does this all mean for the mutant child at the heart of this hunt?

Then in UNCANNY X-MEN #494, featuring "Messiah CompleX" Chapter 10, still reeling from the shocking revelations of Chapter 9, the all new X-Force does battle the Marauders. 'Nuff Said, True Believer!

"This is quintessential X-Men; only these characters could be involved in this event. And that's a testament to the guys working on it," gushed Matt Powell of WizardUniverse.Com

Daniel Crown of IGN.Com called Messiah CompleX "easily the best X-Men crossover in over a decade."

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all issues of "Messiah CompleX," as all five chapters released thus far, including X-MEN #205, have sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). Please note that Marvel currently has no plans to go back to press on X-MEN #205.

As one betrays the X-Men, X-Force must find a way to defeat the Marauders, while Layla & Madrox continue their crucial journey. Who walks away alive? Find out in X-MEN #206 and UNCANNY X-MEN #494!

Don't miss a single chapter of Messiah CompleX!
