This one's pretty Venus Dee Milo centric, which is cool. The two issue Wolverine/Doop thing in the back was just ok though (surprisingly).

3.5 stars...Continues to be possibly the biggest (positive) surprise of this crazy x-read that I am on currently.Would be four stars if not for the slightly disappointing wolverine/doop issues and the short story. (They were all decent reading but left a bit to be desired compared to the regular issues.

Another fantastic volume. Really gHoping this gets bought back at some point.

Could have done a lot more with the movie concept, since meta exploration is pretty big thing in this run. But oh my god how great is it that a villain was called Bad Guy and they couldn't figure out if Bad Guy was bad Guy or just a bad guy I love it.

The Moons of Venus (6-8). A nice focus on Venus that really develops here as a character, and other than that some silly fighting [7/10].The Movie (9). An OK issue without a lot of depth to it [6+/10].The Diaries of Edie (10). A very nice character piece, both for U-Go Girl and for Venus [7+/10].Wolverine / Doop. Milligan's pure weirdness style didn't intersect much with X-Force ... but it does here and the result is delightful. This very strange adventure is the perfect blend of the weird and t...

I was on the fence with how to rate this. Issues 6-9 were weak, very weak, but then the origin story for Edie was brilliantly done and very moving so... three?

Druhý book se točí hodně kolem Venus, která mě ale příliš nezajímá. Pořád je to fajn čtení, ale v rámci Milliganova runu zatím nejslabší. Minisérie Wolverine/Doop mě nebavila.

Things fall apart for the X-Statix and new member Venus De Milo hunts down her past, and the team deals with Guy Smith's conversion from hero to villain. Not all is as it seems in Milligan and Allred's second volume of mutant celebrities, as we get to see U-Go Girl's diaries, the Anarchist's promotion, and the upcoming X-Statix movie!

An entertaining 3-issue arc opens this collection, following Mr. Sensitive’s leave from the team and possible turn to villainy. A one-off story about the team’s movie adaptation and an issue exploring the recently discovered diary entries of a deceased team member are next, before closing out on a madcap team-up between Doop and Wolverine, where they‘re each concerned the other might be going crazy and have to be eliminated.Nothing is ever totally calm or settled with these characters, but enoug...

First 3 issues were great but the rest was not the best.#10 had the dodgy artist back and focused on a dead character.Wolverine/Doop had a cartoony style that sometimes works but isn't best suited for Wolverine. It also had a weird storyline. The X-statix short story in X-men Unlimited #41 was (I think) an homage to the Beatles film, but I've not seen it so I can't be sure.

Milligan's anti-heroes get a bit more focus in this volume, particularly in the Moons of Venus arc, which focuses on Venus De Milo's development. It moves away from the violence that characterized the Milligan/Allred X-force and somewhat silly dynamics of Orphan's attempts at Machiavellianism. Still the psycho-drama about if orphan is a good Guy or a bad Guy gets tiresome in and of itself. The O-Force sub-plot does interject a nice bit of meta-satire. The movie issue doesn't really seem to do th...

Would be a solid 4 stars if not for the Pink Mink issues and the final tale at the end.

There are a lot of stories in this volume, with mixed reactions. Issues 6-8, The Moons of Venus, was a mostly disappointing issue about whether Guy Smith turned into an evil supervillain that tries to kill X-Statix, but ends on some touching character work on Venus (and Dead Girl, so it happens). I liked the constant questioning of whether Guy Smith is actually being a bad guy named Bad Guy or whether Guy Smith was a good guy (not named Good Guy, though), it was a humourous mix-up.Issue 9 is a o...
