I hesitate to say that Second Coming has stalled out, but it's tough to think differently when a mediocre issue such as this hits the stands.

My hopes for this crossover are quickly dwindling but the issue itself is sound enough. I can't for the life of me understand why so many mutants are lashing out at Hope which is a real stumbling block for this entire crossover it seems.
