One of my biggest criticisms of crossover and events of late is that they all seem to be filling an issue quota rather than telling the story in the natural amount of issues the story needs to come to its conclusion. The Second Coming crossover falls squarely in this category with this issue leading the way as the example of nothing really happening in it. This is a problem because it is the penultimate issue to the fourteen part crossover.

Second Coming rolls along as Chapter Nine presents the X-Men's response to Bastion's endgame. The issue moves quickly, which in part is helped by the opening sequences being entirely visual. The story picks up the pace but as is the case with the previous issues the characterization feels off and the answers to the plot questions seem odd, if not forced. I have found much of the crossover to be simply okay and this issue falls into that category.
