A fairly hefty collection of side stories taking place during Second Coming. I enjoyed this collection a lot, but mostly because several of my favorite characters - Pixie, Gambit and Northstar - all make appearances. I suggest this volume mostly for people who loved Second Coming and want more. If you're not up on recent X-Men events (for example, fans of X-Men who have only seen the movies), I would not suggest this collection, as it will probably be confusing. Blind Science is a fun little rom...

The weakest stories from Second Coming... The Cannonball led team set out to rescue Magik from Limbo; The Hope story covers different moments during her life with Cable; X-Factor are targetted by a conflicted Trask; and the best of this book, is the X-Club's investigation of a trap set by Bastion. A 7 out of 12 job.

I didn't enjoy all the stories equally but I had a good time reading them. The illutstrations were great!

Somehow Marvel thought that X-Men: Second Coming wasn't drawn out enough so they added a whole second book. Not a sequel mind you. This books serves to expand on the storylines set-up in Second Coming that Second Coming completely forgot about. In this book you'll find the X-Club almost getting blown up (yawn), the "X-Men" going to Limbo to rescue Illiyana (major yawn), Hope and Cable surviving together before they arrived in the present (completely unnecessary if you've read the excellent Cable...

Not a straightforward sequel to X-men: Second Coming, but an accompaniment, to elaborate and expand further on the events of Second Coming.It's all right. Not a great read, but it's worth picking up for a flip through for the first story regarding X-Club's expedition to the oil rig. What you see in SEcond Coming is not what really happened... funny, fast, and furiously clever, with hilarious and pulpy Dr Nemesis leading the charge.

Second-string tie-ins to a crossover which wasn't that great in the first place - although sometimes it's precisely in such margins that the good stuff can breathe. So here, to some extent: Steve Dillon really makes the Cable/Hope character piece with his customarily excellent art. Similarly, the Science Team story may have no importance whatsoever to wider events, but reminds us that Si Spurrier is the only writer ever to rival Kieron Gillen when it comes to scripting insane science bastard Dr

A few side stories and a few loose ends from the main Second Coming arc make this a mixed bag. All-in-all I liked the two longer stories more than the one-shots. I don't think I recommend this collection specifically but I'd read Blind Science and Hellbound on Marvel Unlimited for the sake of tying up loose threads, and I'd read X-Factor in order with the rest of the series for a better grasp on where the characters have been before the start of this arc.X-Men: Hope: This one-shot is fine but in...

Finally Marvel got it right. Instead of bogging down a strong story arch with filler and lesser quality side-stories, they published two separate books, SECOND COMING and this one SECOND COMING REVELATIONS. Since we knew this was more peripheral to the main story we did not expect as much, and thus we enjoyed it more. Ended with some always hilarious X-FACTOR stuff!

Ok so it's not the best book but it's a great book about some less known heroes. The hope story was the worst especially the art, it's almost insulting comparing it to other modern day graphic artists. The rest of the stories are good, I liked the dr. Nemesis slapstick, I like the cannonball leader story and the X factor story was a good read too just not the best. If the hope story was better it world of gotten 4 stars

These are the side stories/tie-ins for Second Coming. So they aren't the most connected, but I enjoyed them all individually.The X-Club is slowly becoming one of my favorite features of the X-Books. The Magik story is a little underwhelming, but still fun if you're a fan of the New Mutants or New X-Men. The Gambit is Death could use a little explaining for those of us who haven't been following the character but it's still easy enough to follow.X-Factor. This is the least tie-in and more we cont...

An odd collection of different stories that are tied together by the theme of Hope returning to the current time line. The first short story is about Hope and Cable right before they head back to the current time line. The art was good, the story was a little bland.The second story was Hellbound. This takes place during the events of X-Men: Second Coming. It about the team that went to limbo to recuse Magik. This follows Cannonball and his team as they fight there way through Limbo. It's much be...

I'm still continuing my great x-read of 2017/2018 and I am WAY behind on reviews due to a move and limited down time. I will be updating everything I have read in the meantime with tiny (or nonexistent) reviews so I can catch up again...This is pretty good, but definitely peripheral to the main event. Some stories here are quite good, some feel a bit phoned in.

Mostly back-up stories from the main event. The Science Team story was a solid one-off. Hellbound, following the rescue mission for Illyana, has way too many old plotlines being brought together and art that's so muddled that it hides the action. X-Factor is quite good, although if you haven't been reading that book, I can't imagine this will make much sense. Overall, solid, but inessential.

Overall: painfully obvious tie-in filler. Tries hard to fill in detail, character which wouldn't fit the fast-paced mainline story. Marginally succeeds... In boring me.If the writing was top-notch, or the art blew me away, I'd say this book is worth reading. (under no circumstances except if you're and OCD completionist is this worth paying money for.). Yost's Hellbound storyline was the worst filler: of course Pixie would have a moment of testing her ethics, and of course it would resolve with

Felt a bit drawn out. The only plot I enjoyed was rescuing Magik from Limbo however I think that should have just been in second coming rather than here. Second coming and the messiah plot is very long and didn't need to be drawn out by this.

I borrowed X-Men: Second Coming Revelations from the library thinking it was the follow up of X-Men: Second Coming Revelations and it would shed more life on Hope's story-arc, but reading it, it felt more like watching deleted scenes on a DVD/Blu-ray disc. For some reason deleted scenes feel like a good idea to watch, but afterwards, all I can think is, "Oh okay...That's why they cut that from the show..."There are four stories in the book that are perhaps loosely related to what is going on in

that Limbo interlude tho

This collection really seemed a little unnecessary. Not that the stories told were bad, but I just didn't see a need to collect these particular stories into one volume.As others have said, these tie ins were really more like back up stories and played only a small part in the overall major story. I also made the mistake of reading this before the main Second Coming volume and there were some major spoilers. (Since these stories were years ago, I already knew most of what happens, but still.)Thi...

Three different stories: one with doctors, one with new X-men and some old going to dimension, and third with X factor, not really connected but somewhat engaging

This includes a few tie ins to the main Second Coming story.They really aren’t necessary, but they’re still cool.Most important are the Hellbound books, which describe the mission to rescue Ilyana from Limbo. It’s a cool story with great battles, but I can’t help but feel like I’ve seen this before, like in Infernus, or in New X-Men, or with Inferno, or back in the original Magik mini... enough is enough, guys. Still, it was well done, beautifully drawn and fun... so, I’ll deal.The X-Factor stor...
