These days, I am burned out on the whole anti-Mutant Hysteria theme. I have been reading it in Marvel books since the 80's, and there's not much new to say. But X-Force has managed to take a different approach to those tired old questions. What if the X-Men actually fought back, willing to even kill? It's a bloody, bloody book filled with black humor and outrageous situations. Wolverine, X-23, and James Proudstar form a black ops team. They are joined -- sometimes reluctantly, sometimes not -- b...
I find it surprising that X-force has become very cerebral in recent issues under the direction of Rick Remender rather than its starting issues under Craig Kyle.This arc is full of blood and actually has little sense. The plot starts off as a routine assassination then things go from bad to worse in traditional storytelling fashion. What I find odd is that Rahne Sinclair was shown as a member of X-force in promotional artwork prior to the release of the book but actually serves as nothing but a...
4.5 starsMan, I went in with no knowledge of the plot and wow was it brutal, bloody and raw, I loved it.
I was initially turned off by the computer art but it grows on you. The story...the dark, twisted story, brought me back into it. A secret Xman team created to do the dark jobs the good guys with set moral codes can't or won't accomplish led by Wolverine. How could this fail?
This is fun unbridled violent x-force goodness. This is cyclop's black-ops x-force team led by wolverine to take on the missions too dark for the x-men to even know about.
This collection has a pretty solid story. It's X-Force facing off against the Purifiers and some old foes. It has Wolverine, X-23, Warpath, Cyclops, Wolfsbane, Angel... plenty of familiar characters. The art throughout the first half is typical 90s-style over the top muscles and dark colors. It's better once the artist changes and the images calm down a bit.
I'm really tired of the whole "persecuted minority" aspect of the X-men, which continues here. But at least they're fighting back. And the artwork is gorgeous.
The darkest and most gruesome tale in X-Men history. Fantastic artwork from Mike Choi and acceptable computer images from Clayton Crain (he really got better since Ghost Rider). I may not completely like the direction X-Force and the whole X-Men story is heading to but I can't deny this book is awesome.
If this book had some good art and not the digital stuff, it would have got five stars. The digital stuff is good for what it is, but it doesn't compare to the hand-drawn, inked and colored stuff.That aside, the story here is awesome. It only took 16 million mutants dying for Cyclops to grow a pair and organize the kill-squad known as the X-Force. Some jobs just require a kill, and this dark twisted book tells those stories. Very enjoyable.
