Magneto uncovers the existence of X-Force and the only way he'll keep the team's secret is if they assassinate a mysterious figure from his past! Who is so important that Magneto would employ such methodology? Why can't he do the deed himself? The answer is buried in a terrible secret from the ashes of World War II. No man can outrun his past forever...
Billy Tan does another incredible job here. This title has never looked this good until now. Read Full Review
While executed competently, this issue could have benefited from a more thorough investigation of Magneto's motivations. Readers are never clued into why Magneto has such hatred for this particular enemy. Nor are they made to understand why Magneto couldn't simply have killed the man himself. Then again, attention paid to these areas might have overburdened the script. As always, single issue tales are forced to maintain an extremely delicate and precarious balance between exposition and efficiency. Read Full Review
Despite my gripes, this is really only a slightly weaker issue from an exemplary series. Read Full Review

There might be a story in this issue, maybe even some characterization, but none of it feels like art. This is a comic; It should be a marriage of words and images into something else, but instead it comes across like barely a short tale. Rick Remender is clearly trying to establish the moral standings of each of his characters in this group. This issue delivers the understanding that death in Wolverine's world is stark and a non-event, but it didn't need to show us that through a book that is both as well. Read Full Review
Don’t know how I feel about this issue. I did like Billy Tan’s art, but on the other hand, I had more questions than answers by the end of the issue. How did Dr Nemesis discover X-Force? What was so significant about the Nazi Erik wanted dead? Why couldn’t Erik kill the nazi himself? Which comic was Dr Nemesis’ mission in? I will say though, that the second half of this issue was perfectly written by Remender and the scene where Logan kills the nazi was really emotional.
Rio doesn't look like that btw
