This book had a few threads going. One, Angel is in an internal war with himself trying to control his Archangel persona. Two, the mysterious Eli in the last volume brought back several mutant villains and now has reinstated them back to the positions in the government, military etc etc. Then we have a sample of the legacy virus stolen and X-force goes on the hunt to secure it. Mike Choi takes the baton form Clayton for the art duties and is not too shabby. At the end of the book we get the back...

Maybe not as immediately compelling as the previous volume, and wither perhaps some missteps (the Warpath plotline is meh, and what's up with Wolfsbane?), still a solid volume. Dark and brooding, but in a good way.

The first Volume was pretty action packed, so one has to accept I guess, that this book felt more like an intermittent set-up book. Like it is setting us up for Volume 3, still though, this was fun.

This is the better incarnation of X-force but this volume seemed way to fast paced. I didn't like how they flashed back and forth between one story and the start of Necrosia storyline.

Not bad at all. I definitely preferred the artwork in this volume. There were a couple of story elements that made no sense, though, so I can't quite bring myself to give it four stars.

This X-Force series may be my favorite X Universe series since the Claremont/Byrne run of Uncanny X-Men. In this volume we have clones of the Marauders, the Legacy Virus makes a return, and we see the origin of an interesting new villain. But the coolest part was Ghost Rider and Warpath teaming up to fight a demon bear! The Clayton Crain artwork fits this book perfectly.This is dark, but very good.

Bastion has plans to turn the world against he remaining Mutants, and it's X-Force's job to get out there and stop his plans by any means necessary. The dark covert X-team continues to be impressive wit the writing of Kyle & Yost. 8 out of 12.

First off, I did not put this down until I had finished it.I feel like this one is a little less bloody, a little less dark, and definitely tempered with more of the humor that I personally love. The illustrations were clear and the dialogue was much easier to follow in this one than in the first volume. It also really feels like the story is moving more naturally.

4.5 starsRe-reading these old comics was maybe one of the better decisions I've made all year. Now, I realize this series won't be for everyone but this was the comic that made me fall in love with X-Force. Hard.Whether or not you'll enjoy this as much as I do is contingent on a few things.Ask yourself these questions:Do I wanna see X-23 and Wolverine fuck up some bad guys?Do I wanna see Warren turn into a metal Angel of Death?Do I wanna see Domino do her badass Domino-y thing?Do I wanna see War...

"Old Ghosts" is representative of the dark and intense tone of this run of X-Force. I really like this series. I think the art and narrative mesh seamlessly to create an impressive end product. X-Force is about putting everything to the test and committing your very all to the cause. Someone is going to die if you do nothing, so do something and let it be the bad guys who die. While X-Men won't stoop to this level, there needs to be a mutant group who will do the dirty work, and that's where the...

Archangel and Wolfsbane are having issues with each other. Domino and Vanisher join the group, who are after the Legacy Virus. The team takes on Marauder clones. The origin of Eli Bard (which includes Selene). Ghost Rider helps out Warpath on a side story, and I think thats a great reason to guest star, just to have Choi draw him. The art all around doesn't get better then this.

The meat of the book was pretty good. The stars, in my opinion, were X-23 and Elixir. I loved their chemistry. The whole “get the legacy virus” thing was whatever, and seeing the marauders again was also very whatever, but the character aspect more than made up for it. We were also treated to a very unexpected and awesome cameo from the spirit of vengeance. My favorite part of this collection was the last issue. Selene is so awesome. She’s, in many ways, a much cooler version of Apocalypse. I ca...

I sat down and read this one pretty much all in one sitting. I really love the artwork, it's very modern, and very dark which suits the tone of a dark and more dangerous covert team of X-Men, who are pretty much there to do the dirty work the more public X-Men team (led by Xavier) can't be seen to do. I liked the story and I really like X-23 and Wolfsbane. I really want to learn more about these characters, and I love the new look to Angel, and how he's now struggling with something (don't want

Following the events of the previous volume the X-Force team attempts to deal with Angel losing his mind, Elixir becoming aware of the team and Rahne's PTSD from eating her father.This book actually started quite strong, with some good humour and interesting plot. The Legacy Virus is stolen from a lab and X-Force is tasked to hunt them down, eventually meeting up with and adding Domino to the team. However, soon after this the main story is shoved aside in favour of the absolutely horrendous War...

Ah the art got better, woot woot! So this one starts off more exciting than the last for me. Basically The X-Force are sent on a mission to retrieve a virus. While warpath faces off against a...bear? Yeah like a gigantic spirit bear. Listen, this is the X-men universe, get with it. With the X-Force team all working together and a new member, Domino, joining them, will they be able to successfully get the virus back or will it be too late? Good: I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters. The...

I thought a lot was accomplished in this, and it was just overall a good story. I really like Domino though so it was nice to have her in the story and also get some of her perspective.

Two volumes in, I'm really enjoying this series. I like the idea of a covert branch of the X-Men that does what needs to be done, however morally gray it might be. It's something that wouldn't have been done under Xavier. But he's gone now, and mutants are more on the defensive than ever. Obviously, the basic idea works really well for me. And the plot specifics in this volume are working, too. There's a lot of characters on the edge here, without being unlikeable. And I'm liking how each volume...

Continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...This continues to be quite a good series though it has its issues.The art is great. Plot moves along at a good clip. Not sure why Ghost Rider had to show up (but I'm a mutant purist in my mutie books - leave the rest of the Marvel Universe out of it...) and that really breaks up the plot. I sort of feel like the Warpath/GR part should have been its own standalone, though I like the character building for Warpath.Warren and Rahne are both embroiled in just...

A couple years ago when I read the first X-Force in this run I did like a live-blog style review. I’m gonna give that another go now with the second.So once again, spoilers and swearing.X: I must warn you… I am highly proficient in racquetball.Wolverine: good for you.Oh man, this is a terrible idea. Scott, this was your idea, wasn’t it? This has “Scott’s idea” written all over it.Oh BB Rahne. Oh BB Angel.I’m like 4 pages in and everything is terrible.I love Elixer so much, and I’m pretty sure th...

Not much happens here. It's definitely a middle book. Very violent. (view spoiler)[X-Force is fighting amongst themselves, as mutants are wont to do. Rahne is programmed to kill Angel, and Angel has become Archangel/Death and wants to kill everyone. The crew joins up with Domino and kidnaps Vanisher after he attempts to steal the Legacy Virus, a serum that can apparently kill all mutants. After torturing him, they learn he failed and so they go back to the lab to get the sample. They get attacke...
