Note that Logan and Quire's injuries exactly match where the previous page showed them going through the gate. It wasn't the commando's explosives that chopped them up, it was the gate shutting on them. I'm comfortable with "mysterious techno-organic teleportation malfunction" being strong enough to bisect Wolverine.

Dec 18, 2019This is yet another good issue in a series that has taken me by surprise. It continues to do a good job with its characters, flesh out the various departments of the X-Force and adds in action and CSI style detective work too. I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a title to flesh itself out because once we're aware of all its parts it's going to go hog wild with its action and thriller storytelling.

Dec 18, 2019It takes the new status quo for mutants and builds on what was a flop in #1 in order to deliver a shock so good it'll still be on your mind a few comics later. Read Full Review

X-Force is officially my pick for best Dawn of X title. The art is constantly amazing, Percy understands these characters, and Percy perfectly uses the elements of suspense and violence. That last page might be the most haunting page of Dawn of X since Professor X died. Incredible

Prelude: X-Force has been amazing so far. Let's see how Percy goes this issue, now that the team has officially formed. The Good: I love how ruthless these enemies are. Cold, calculating and efficient. It works greatly with this new status quo from Dawn of X. Likewise, how tactical this book acts is great. I love these introspectives that Percy did this issue. Anything involving the Quiet Council is usually great and this issue was no exception. Forge was interesting here. In a similar vein, I quite liked the infographics. Simple, but effective. Art was pretty good throughout. Some issues but otherwise good. The Bad: Nothing. Conclusion A superb issue from Percy. Exactly what I wanted from X-Force and it doesn't more

THE GOOD: -The art is damn good. -Again, this series has by far the most interesting villains of the DoX line. -The political thriller aspects of this are really well fleshed out and make for a solid reading experience. -Oh man, I love Forge. His daily planner was great, too. -It's a really well-written comic. I've never been a fan of Percy before this. Granted, I've only read Green Arrow and Nightwing, but still. -The ending was really good. I can't wait for more of this series. THE BAD: -Maybe a bit more could be done for the characters. They're not bad at all, and I find them compelling, but I would like to see more complex characters. That would really have solidified this issue as perfect for me. As it sta more

A great read here in my favorite issue yet. Percy and Cassara are proving to be a pretty good team with this series thus far. In this issue, specifically, Percy does a a really nice job with his pacing, in my opinion. It starts off a little slow with the Quiet Council, but continuously speeds up a bit until Wolverine is, basically, chopped in half. I don't doubt he'll be resurrected or healed soon, depending on if he ends up being dead or just severely injured, but it was still a wild moment and an awesome way to close the issue.

Holy Mother this is good. Every page grabs your attention with its fantastic art and dialogue. From start to finish this was nothing short of perfection. I cant imagine not reading this title especially if you are reading any other Xmen Comics. This issue had so much to say and adds a great deal to the entire Xmen franchise right now. Percy and Cassara are a match made in heaven, these two compliment each other so well and give one of the smoothest reads Ive had in a while.

X-Force continues to profit from a scalpel-sharp clarity of purpose that sets it head and shoulders above the messier DoX titles. This is gory pull-no-punches mutant espionage action, like an R-rated James Bond, and it is terrific.

There's so much awesome in this book. I'd give it a 9 but there's a panel where Jean's legs are drawn super funny and I have to knock this down by .5 because of that lol

Overall it was pretty good. Not sure I'm a huge fan of them dying every issue so easily. Like, how the hell did they ever survive this long without being able to come back from the dead. And one thing that is really bothering me is how Wolverine gets blown in half. He heals AND is basically indestructible. He is not deadpool. I can't believe no one else has mentioned it. Is it adamentium lite? Benjamin Percy get your head out of your butt!

I've been a huge fan of Forge dating back to the '90s. He's a great character that plays the combo role of Iron Man and Reed Richards but for the X-Men. Forge is also the only character that I can recall that had a believable romance with Storm. Although Marvel has seemingly memory-holed the Storm Forge relationship it stands out as a milestone for each character. This issue gives Forge a proper intro to the current Dawn of X landscape. He naturally takes on the role of armorer for the team and also seems to get his rocks off by giving Wolverine a hard time. There are some nice exchanges between the characters and although don't recall Forge being this snarky he makes a nice addition to the cast. The book also formalizes X-Force as more
