chantaal 's review for:
X-Force, Vol. 1
by Benjamin Percy
X-Men 2021 project continues!

House of X/Powers of X ⭐⭐⭐
X-Men, Vol. 1 ⭐⭐
Marauders, Vol. 1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excalibur, Vol. 1 ⭐⭐⭐
X-Men/Fantastic Four: 4X ⭐⭐⭐⭐
After the promise of the X-Men/Fantastic Four crossover, X-Force falls flat on its face for me. It's nothing but a gory mess, with characters that act nothing like themselves, and decisions made because the story demands it.
Death means nothing to the X-Men anymore, so the gory deaths shown here are just for the sake of making X-Force the badass book. That's cool and all, but the story doesn't hold up, nor do I care one bit about it. is shot...and lives. Wolverine is cut in half...and lives. is sliced up by crazy scientists...and lives. There are no stakes any longer, and that in turn makes the need for the creation of X-Force feel inauthentic.
My favorite part of this was seeing Black Tom Cassidy finally back in action. I love all three members of the Cassidy family, even the crazy uncle that Black Tom is.
