IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SNIKT!
The planet Arakko is a new target for Arakkii pirate SEVYR BLACKMORE! But where there's crime, there's inevitably punishment. And that's where X-FORCE comes in along with hired hands MAVERICK and the MERCS! But are even their combined forces up to the task of keeping these deadly warriors from overrunning the solar system?
PARENTAL ADVISORY
Sadly, the only real disappointment was a huge portion of the art this week that complicated the reading crammed the pages immensely, and made the X-Force #34 a bit difficult to read at times. The detail is great, however, enlarge the panels and choose some colors that make the comic pop. You can still provide a darker tone without muting the appearance and taking away the depth and texture of the issue. Overall, the story/ plot is going in the right direction and I highly recommend jumping back on this series. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review
X-Force #34 mixes things up with action montages, a brand new focus on some familiar characters, and the ongoing fall of Sage and Beast. This series continues to excel in continuing character narratives while dropping us into tense action sequences. Read Full Review
X-Force #34 does an excellent job of going into the next phase of the team. Percy is building something fascinating here and in Wolverine. Allens art is average, but GURU-eFXs colors are wonderful. This issue balances plot, character, and action very well. Read Full Review
X-Force emphasizes the power behind the team in one of the series' best issues to date. Read Full Review
I continue to love everything about x-force! I love how things are unfolding and can't wait to see what happens next!
After the long Kraven arc, this issue of X-Force really feels like a step up and the start of some plot threads reaching a climax. It is astounding to witness just how far Beast has fallen and just how much he has managed to hide not only from the authorities on Krakoa, but also his own team. And speaking of the team, their story beats also look like they are reaching a boiling point. Sage's drinking has gone completely out of control to the point of causing harm to her fellow teammates. I definitely see this as rock bottom for her and I really hope we see signs of her trying to make ammends and turn around in the next issue. Maverick's presence in the story is kinda meh to me, he didn't do much to really make me have an opinion on his pres more
Beast's march toward cartoonish super-villainy accelerates into a sprint, and Sage, the person best situated to spot what he's doing, is a drunken wreck.
The tactical plot developments within the issue don't excite me much (Sevyr Blackmore is far from my favorite Arakkii), but I am fascinated by the bigger strategic implications. And the peek into Sage's psyche is heartbreakingly, tragically beautiful.
X-Force remains a slow-motion trainwreck, in an absolutely intentional and supremely entertaining way.
I love a good prison riot / wrench thrown into self-affirming machinery. Let hell break loose, baby
I love what they're doing with Sage. I really do!
But omg, I do not CARE for Sevyr or Maverick or these Mercs at all.
It's all just noise. On top of that, the art is kinda weak.
