X-Force Vol. 1: Sins of the Past
by Ed Brisson
Ouch...Love Brisson's work most of the time, love X-Force, but this was a miss for me.
The idea of bringing most of the original characters back to X-Force was nice. We have young cable on a mission after murdering his old self. He's trying to protect someone. That someone is a semi-spoiler so won't spoil it here. On top of that you have the X-Force team hunting down Young Cable for what he did to old cable, which was kill him, in the Extermination Event (Which was pretty good). So yeah...that plus a lot of time travel begin to happen in this title.
I was really hoping for just a straight forward X-Force brutal mission. Instead it's a lot of jumping around time, a messy origin that wasn't needed, a dull villain, and some sketchy art. There's moment of fun dialogue, and cool action shots, but it's not often enough. Didn't hate it but a missed opportunity for sure. A 2 out of 5.
