Well well well, this was a bit of a rollercoaster, huh?

Rick Rememnder had to step up big to take over X-Force, which was pretty dang good under Yost. But step up he did. Giving us a brand new team, Wolverine, Deadpool, Fantomex, Psylock, and Angel, these 5 are basically a hit squad for mutant threats and more. However, right into this harrowing tale we learn what they might do will cross some big lines. With the rebirth of Apocalypse, can this team take him out even if he's a kid?

If that's not bad enough one of their teammates might not be who they seem. When one turns, it makes the entire group fall apart as they are thrown into a different reality. one where Apoc roams the lands as a king of sorts and the world is broken. Can Wolverine and his team stop the future or will this be the end?

Overall, fantastic character developments on multiple fronts. Biggest surprises for me were Fantomex having huge changes that worked, a new mutant born, and Deadpool actually being FUNNY. I know, crazy, huh? Also Wolverine as a leader was great and showed who he truly was. Psylock and Angel story is tragic, but we knew that going in. Really the only negative is there's stuff to do with robot versions of the x-men that is just decent inbetween two great storylines.

This is fantastic, dark, and fucked up, but in all the right ways. I really recommend this for X-Men fans who wanted a darker take on their favorite characters. A 4 out of 5.
