X-Force, Vol. 2 by Benjamin Percy
4.0

X-Force stays interesting throughout in it's second volume as we go deeper into the mind of Domino.

This volume scales back some of the action and lets Domino deal with being kidnapped and tortured with her skin peeled off of her from the last volume. A traumatic event to say the least and she debates with Peter if both should kill themselves and be reborn without the memory of pain inside of them. It's a real interesting look at the death and revival thing they have going right now in the X-men universe.

Then we deal with some plant like god creature, which might have resulted in being a loose tie in to Empyre. Then the final chapters are basically deciding if Peter (Colossus) has done wrong after Beast puts together some evidence. All this happening while a certain mutant hating community gets a new weapon that might help them.

Overall, it remains highly engaging. Sure, I believe there's TOO many storylines going on at once and not all as interesting as the core ones (Domino's story being the best) But still plenty of emotional bits spread between high end brutal action. This is the best X-Force since Remender's hands down. A 4 out of 5.
