X-Force was one of the faces of the 90s, excessive and juvenil, but also quite entertaining and iconic, and a nostalgic trip for me, but I don't think it aged very well, the stories are a bit messy, but the characters are still very fun to read, Shatterstar and Cannonball stole the show, and Boom Boom and Domino are as cool as I remembered.
That was really intense. Yes, most of Liefeld's art is trash, but thankfully Fabian Nicieza's writing more than makes up for it. The conflicted team of militant mutants fight their way through various teams of enemies, and basically beat the shit out of all of them in brutal fashion. And even though I know most of Cable's story, I am definitely interested in seeing how it all came to be.
I read all these stories in their individual titles before collected in this Volume.

"Butt-screaming"This book is the comic equivalent of mixing cans of Kick and Jolt cola. Everything is totally tubular to the max! It is a book that deserves no stars, but should also receive a million. It is the Troll 2 of reading. The stories are overstuffed with terrible ideas and nonsense. Is Cannonball an immortal of some sort? That seems like a good idea for an X-book. There are so many characters involved and so few have almost nothing to do. Boom boom is in the book but I don't remember h...
I forgot how rough the 90's were for storytelling.
It was kind of hard to get this finished, too much 90's comic stuff for me.
I don't think I've read Rob Liefeld's comic books before but the art certainly has it's trashy charm. The action is high-packed and plentiful, the dialogues are short and edgy, what else would you wish from the comics in the 90s, eh? It very highly reminds me of Stormwatch, except that one has better art by Jim Lee. Considering that Image Comics was created next year after the creation of X-Force, it's no wonder. A couple of issues are pencilled by Greg Capullo, and while I haven't seen his earl...
This was actually better than I remember (I haven't read these for about 20 years). The art isn't the best - I'm not a huge fan of Rob Liefeld - but it's a decent read and well worth checking out.
