I'm on a little X-Men kick today!

So X-Force. The series I've been meaning to check out but took forever to get to. I finally sat down and began reading volume 1 and at first, I'll be honest, it wasn't clicking with me. I love X23, like wolvie, like Warpath, so I enjoyed the characters but the story was hoping all over the place. However, once it began to settle down and got to see the plot for what it was, which is pieces of religious shits trying to hurt our characters, I was getting in to it. Then add on the fact we had some brutal showdowns and big balls to the walls action I began to understand what the X-Force is all about.

Good: Really dug Wolverin/X23 in this. Their relationship is always interesting and here is no different. I also enjoyed Angels storyline here and felt bad for him, and poor Sinclair...man that shit was not easy to see. The ending also sets up so many awesome ideas that I hope it follows through.

Bad: I didn't love the start. Felt the execution at first was a bit sloppy in storytelling. I also didn't dig the art much. It feels like action figures placed in a comicbook. Just very odd at first but kind of get used to it.

Overall this was a lot of bloody fun. Some great action, some "Oh shit" moments, and a lot of dark and gritty X-men joy. A 3.5 out of 5. Will read more!
