X-Force #29

X-Force #29 packs in action and thrills and hits the right emotional notes. Percy builds a great story, and Gill and GURU-eFX make it real. This issue is a banger, make no mistake about it. Read Full Review

If body horror and questions of identity and self-worth are your thing, this is the book you want to be reading. It's better than advertised. Read Full Review

Gill delivers some wonderful art in the issue. There are some great action moments that perfectly complement the thrilling nature of the story. Read Full Review

X-Force #29 is a good climactic issue featuring a giant-sized villain and two types of unlikely heroes. At this point, Kid Omega isn't so unlikely, but given his history and thoughts at the opening of this issue, it still serves that purpose. In X-Force, even the most awful character can be a hero given the threat and unabashed lack of fear. Read Full Review

Additionally, Cerebrax went down way too easily AND with almost no explanation. If I was to guess, Quentin went all Super Saiyan alongside a virus implanted by Omega Red. But heres the thing thats just a guess as to how X-FORCE took down Cerebrax because it wasnt spelled out clearly enough. Therefore, another problem was with the story's clarity as well as its integral plot points hitting with fans on a more contextual level. Read Full Review

The narrative repeats how bad things will become if Cerebrax incorporates specific mutants only for that to occur and the X-Force brawl to continue; it grew stale and the quickly defined solutions to the problem here don't seem spectacularly climactic in spite of months of build. Read Full Review

I'm totally loving X-MEN meets MONSTERS which is what this series has been from the start. An emotionally engaging yet grotesque ride into the anxieties of a promised utopia.

Definitely the best issue for this series in Destiny of X, in my opinion. Every aspect just felt stronger here, from Kid Omega's storyline to Omega Red's possible redemption arc to Gill's interiors. With the next few issues of this having to do with Judgment Day, I hope the ending of this isn't ignored for a bit. I went from not caring a whole lot about Kid Omega in the last issue to being a lot more invested here for whatever reason.

It's a solid finale for a rather weak arc. Quentin's POV is enough -- barely -- to elevate this hunt for a forgettable monster. As to the Big Sad Thing that happens at the end, I wouldn't bet a nickel on it lasting long. The art's beautiful at a glance; look too deep and you start seeing some rough linework. The colorist deserves more credit than usual for the quality of the visuals here.

I liked it better when X-Force acted as the Krakoan CIA, now they just seem like an X-Men B team.
