AIPT - David Brooke
Aug 23, 2023X-Force #43 is a stable push towards Colossus' ongoing struggle to meet its conclusion finally. Ultimately this issue doesn't offer much outside of the setup with the cliffhanger, but it continues to handle the team dynamic well, giving each member a moment to shine. Read Full Review

It's been a long time since we have seen X-Force interconnected with a lot of the major plot threads going on in the rest of the X-men books, but for Fall of X, how this issue tied into it all needed to be important. Thankfully Percy does a masterful job here, putting each team member in their proper place in relation to what is happening across Fall of X. It feels very natural to the characters and to their ongoing plots as well, as every action carries a consequence here. As for the pacing, it is also handled very well, I never felt rushed along to the next plot point or bored with slow, meaningless pacing. Every page felt like it mattered and set things up beautifully for the next arc and issues. And for those people who have been more

Excellent addition to this current HELLFIRE GALA saga, where are they going from here?!

Not only is it a good tie-in to the Hellfire Gala, it's rare--possibly unique--in using the Gala to further its own story instead of lending (too-necessary) support to the event itself. The art is gorgeous, the language is smooth and clear, the voices are distinctive. Character-driven decisions produce big plot developments and write a fascinating question mark in the team's future. This is a very good comic, and the issues to follow are likely to be, too.

This has some bright spots, but I do wish I liked this a bit more. I did enjoy this more than the last few issues, though. I don't know, I just wish this was written a bit better, because I do think a lot of the ideas here are good. Hopefully things come together a bit better as this storyline continues.

I'm starting to get sick of these hyperconnected stories that are basically incomprehensible if you don't read 26 different series. What the hell happened at the Gala? How is Omega Red alive again?

X-FORCE #43 is out this week and it reveals what Benjamin Percy agreed to so he could write his dream pairings in WEAPONS OF VENGEANCE, PREDATOR VS. WOLVERINE, and the upcoming Sabretooth War arc in WOLVERINE - Marvel made him take Colossus back and finish the drawn-out sleeper-agent storyline that as first introduced all the way back in X-FORCE #24. Poor Percy. Poor Sage, Domino, Kid Omega, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Omega Red. Most of all, poor us. When it was first revealed that Mikhail had been controlling his brother as part of a master plan to accumulate power for himself and Mother Russia, many thought it was the original groundwork being laid for the end of Krakoa. However, that was nearly two years ago and over that time period O more
