This is chapter five of "Messiah War" and odds are youre either on-board or not by this point. In every review I've done for X-Force I always point out that its the big budget summer movie of X-titles and I would be remiss if I didnt do so now. Once again, this isnt a bad thing; Kyle and Yost hit all the right notes at all the right times.

It sums up all you need to know about what makes X-Force work. Low Art? Debatable. Visceral and fun. You betcha! Read Full Review

The highlight of sorts is Chris Yosts character writing, as he nails the voices of each character here, but it simply isnt enough to save this ultimately forgettable and easy-to-skip issue. Read Full Review

X-Force #15 proves just how flimsy the “Messiah War” story is. While it's cool to see Stryfe and Apocalypse back in action, don't let the nostalgia fool you into thinking the “War” is living up to the hype. The wheels are spinning, yes, but the story is going absolutely nowhere… Read Full Review
