If horrific futures and hilarious dialogue are your entertainment weapon of choice, this is the story for you. Read Full Review

X-Force #40 is a compelling look at how far Beast will go to win and how the ragtag crew of the X-Force can solve problems on the fly. It's nice there's a resolution to the issue, but it's a bit too easy. That said, this series continues to take big swings, and for entertainment value, there's plenty to enjoy. Read Full Review

X-Force #40 kicks off a new story for this book in the best way possible. Percy takes a standard dystopian future story and throws a curveball into the mix, which is pretty great. All in all, this is a fantastic read thatll hook readers immediately. Read Full Review

This was a really fun issue. While I am not the happiest that Kid Omega has returned, he is the catalyst for the start of an interesting plot which I assume will resolve Beast's villain arc once and for all. Time travel plots are tricky to write and make them feel like they have any value, but I feel it is handled fine here, even though the future mutants and future Wolverine-bot don't end up mattering, and I am still left wondering why they couldn't prevent all this by just staying in the present and eliminating Beast there. There are a few areas that stuck out as highlights of the issue. The first of which is Colossus. A data page on the Chronicler was both informative and humorous as he tried to write faster than the plot developed. The re is a small nugget of information about what Mikhail has been up to that has me intrigued on what will happen once they get back into the story, and it will be interesting to see how that tease is developed. As for Colossus himself, we get to see him as himself again for the first time in a long while. It will be a sad transition for him once this mission is over. Another highlight was how Omega Red was able to cut loose and eliminate the problem single-handedly without receiving any explanation on what was going on. And this was after everyone else has given him up for dead. I wish we would have been able to see a bit more of that action, but I'll take what I can get. The final highlight for me was the transition in art style after they traveled through the portal. It was very well done, and I think I prefer it over the art from the past while. It's much sharper with deeper colors, matching very well with the tone of the story. Overall, a very good read that takes the plot to higher heights than before. Let's hope the upward trend continues. more

Gotta start with the snarky joke: "Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own Sins of Sinister! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the Sinister!" Setting the snark (mostly) aside, this is a pretty fun read. Definitely not a smart one, and it honestly does feel a little too derivative. But the cartoony art and the indulgent pace are clearly telling you that priority one here is chuckling at the jokes and the absurdity of it all. Agree to meet it on its own silly terms, and it's a damn fine comic. And there's a glimmer of heart,too--mainly in the empathic way Sage suspects what's wrong with Quentin.

Not as into this as past storylines, but it definitely has potential. This just felt a little too wacky for me in certain spots, with one example being that Wolverine head that only says "snikt." Hopefully this becomes a little more interesting with the next issue.

I might be done with this series. It was pretty decent for a while, but now I’m finding less and less enjoyment. This issue was just silly.
