I thought it was pretty clear that it was supposed to follow-up the story of the so-called mutant messiah that had been entrusted to Cable's care and her returning to the X-Men's fold.

Perhaps this is the story that leads to the undoing of the ramifications of the House of M?

to sell comics and also to entertain (in the hope of the reader continuing to buy comics) ?

It serves no reproductive purpose, but women seem to enjoy it and it is very rare in males.

It is the second coming of the mutant race. How is this complicated?

Its the final chapter of a trilogy story which began in Messiah Complex, continued in Messiah War and will conclude in Second Coming

That's what it's basically gonna be. This is the end of Hope the Savior story line, whether Hope continues as a character, who knows.

This is probably also the end of the extinction theme that has been running through out the mutant books since M-Day. There will be some kind of mutant boom at the end, whether it's new mutant babies being power or a massive repowerment on some scale, something will have to happen otherwise these last few years would be for naught.

I'm looking forward to this though, I've enjoyed the different direction going on, the extinction threat that looms overhead of every single death, it's really been a refreshing breathe from the normal "fighting for a world that hates and fears" dream. It'll be interesting to see how that becomes a focus again coming out of Second Coming.

I'm eager to see this too. I enjoyed Messiah Complex, so I'm pretty sure this will be enjoyable as well.
