X-Force, Vol. 1 by Benjamin Percy
4.0

Finished off my reading day strong with this one. X-Force is back and better than ever under Percy.

After a horrible attack that leaves one of the main X-Men characters killed, the X-Men start to build a new X-Force. In the past volumes it was always a no-no for a lot of X-Men to even agree with X-Force. In here? We have Xavier and Beast signing on as "yes let's do this" and basically this is CIA X-Men story...and I kind of love it?

What starts off as an attack, become a rescue mission, and then a retallation tale in these six issues. I was glued to each page as it was exciting and fun. The art helps build a darker, more vicious X-Men story too. I loved the team dynamic and while not as strong as say Remender's run yet on that, it can shape up nicely. Also, beast my dude, you have fucked up. This should be good.

A super easy 4 out of 5.
