X-Force #17 puts a spotlight on Kid Omega, and its wonderfully done. Percy digs into the character, reinforcing who he is for readers familiar with him and giving readers who arent what they need to know about him. He also introduces a nice little mystery into the proceedings. Cassaras art does a great job with the visuals, as usual. X-Force continues to be one of the best of the X books. Read Full Review

Joshua Cassara delivers some beautiful art in this issue. With the story being character focused, Cassara does a great job of making character moments have a sense of intimacy. Read Full Review

Percy continues to lead the charge with one of the best X-MEN titles on the market. Simply put, you must have X-FORCE in your pull list if you want to follow anything X-MEN related. Read Full Review

Overall this book was an exciting dive into the life of Kid Omega. I am really excited to see where this mystery goes. I would totally be interested in more spotlight issues if they are as fun as this one was. Read Full Review

X-Force #17 reads in a similar fashion to Excalibur #18 this week in that it's all about establishing a mystery that goes unsolved, but X-Force develops its mystery while carefully developing one of its central characters, which makes the issue much more satisfying on its own Quentin Quire has played the egotistical bad boy for a long time and these pages provide him with some very necessary depth.

Seeing Percy dig into Quentin's subconscious to find out what makes him tick is some good character work and Cassara knocks it out of the park once again in a big way. Read Full Review

X-Force #17 is an enjoyable issue that focused on a character that many fans don't particularly like. Credit to Benjamin Percy for fleshing out some of the details of Kid Omega. The pencils and colors are great. There isn't much more you can say about it than that. It's some of the best artwork in a comic book this week. X-Force continues to surprise readers by offering a heartfelt issue this week. Read Full Review

Not focused on the action, X-Force #17 makes for a strong interlude and a nice examination of one of Krakoa's less agreeable denizens. While this isn't material that could be called 'ground-breaking,' it's still an enjoyable examination of Quentin Quire. And after the teasing throughout the series, it's nice to see Quentin and Phoebe on an actual date, even if the focus in the scene is a bit one-sided. Hopefully future issues can create a stronger balance in their dynamic. Read Full Review

Good setup for the rest of the arc

Excellent!

This book could have easily went the way of X-Factor with the injection of femme in this issue , but no X-Force will forever have it's balls.
I felt happy for Kid Omega schmoozing it up with his Cuckoo gal. I laughed my ass off at the outfit try-on montage and bucked my eyes at the action that followed.
Stiff competition with the Hellions , but still insofar , X-Force is the original balls to the wall X-team. This is just another issue to add to that reputation.

Kid Omega dies a lot, with the latest death being tied to a cruise ship murder-fest that the mutants are being framed for. Phoebe treats him to a romantic break, with lots of introspection and a costume upgrade. Good humor and exquisite art here. I felt the character work wasn't as deep as it could be, but not actually bad by any means.

I thought the artwork was really great in this one. I dig the new look

Volume: 6, Issue: 17
“Omega, Reconsidered”

Writer: Benjamin Percy @benjamin.percy
Artist: Joshua Cassara @joshuadcassara
Colors: Guru-eFX
Letters: Joe Caramagna @joecaramagna
Cover: Joshua Cassara & Dean White @deanwhitecolor

While investigating a ship broadcasting a suspicious SOS, Quentin Quire meets an untimely end for what feels like an endless string of deaths. Resurrected, Quentin struggles to fill in the gaps and investigates the circumstances which led to his most recent resurrection. Thanks to the positive influence of Phoebe Cuckoo, Quentin opens up to himself and drops the more obnoxious aspects of his personality and embraces all that is his life. While treating Quentin to a much needed makeover, Jumbo Carnation’s mind falls victim to the apparent psychic influence of the leader of Xeno and moves to attack the young couple.

I really enjoyed this issue. Benjamin Percy did something I never saw coming, made me actually appreciate Quentin Quire. Up until this moment I could not stand the character and wished writers would stop trying to make him a thing. Now I’m in. I love the redesign of his character.

I thought this was a good issue that could have been so much more. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed what we got here, but I felt as though the character developments for Kid Omega could have been handled better. Things started out relatively strong, but I wasn't the hugest fan of the direction it ended up going. I don't know. I just wish we got something deeper here.

This was an odd issue.

I love my boy but not this so much.
