INVITE-ONLY TO THE HELLFIRE GALA!
It's party time, but somebody's got to work it. And when invited guests (and a few crashers) prove to be planted antagonistic agents, X-FORCE will need to get their hands dirty and keep this all under wraps...before anyone catches wind!

X-Force #20 gives another view of the Hellfire Gala, showing what the security services do during diplomatic dinner- ensure security in more ways than one. Percy does a great job in this chapter, but by now, thats to be expected. Cassaras art is sensational, and all in all, this issue doesnt disappoint, with a nice cliffhanger leading into the next issue of Wolverine. Read Full Review
Fans of Percy's X-FORCE will like the return to an old plot thread while long-time X-FORCE fans will relish the return of a longtime member" if only for a short time. Moreover, Percy continues to be one of (if not thee) best X-MEN related writers currently by flexing his writing chops in such a way that makes a stuffy GALA exciting and intriguing. If you're all in on X-MEN, as well as the HELLFIRE GALA, this issue is for you. Read Full Review
Cassara does a great job with the art in this issue. Not only does the style of the art perfectly portray the tone of the story, but the characters and backgrounds are visually stunning. Read Full Review
X-Force #20 is an enjoyable issue thanks to its chaotic energy and its mixing of serious and silly. We all knew the Hellfire Gala was going to be a hot mess, but this issue surprises with some unexpected developments. Plus, it's fun to see this team work a party rather than attend one.

This issue Percy brings us a delicious glass of what our chaotic X-Force is up to. From the exciting moment of Logan and Domino taking Deadpool down to Emma Frost confronting Sage on Terra Verde this was an excellent issue. I love when a team is able to provide themes from their current story arc in an event that flows with many titles. This is an extension of how great the x office works with each other. Can we talk about how Emma served it that entire issue!? With Emma being my favorite x-men member this right here is the gala event I have been eagerly waiting for and I am very well satisfied.

Overall the Hellfire Gala continues to be a really fun and intriguing event. Emma's perfect night is turning out to be a little less than perfect, but that makes for an even more interesting story. Read Full Review
Beast finally gets what's coming to him. It's mostly a very good story, with great art, even with a totally unnecessary and annoying Deadpool guest appearance. Read Full Review
That attention to detail combined with all of the frivolity and character moments contained herein speaks to what makes X-Force one of the most consistently engaging X-series, as well as the astounding construction of this one month, linewide event. Read Full Review
A party for Krakoa means problems for X-Force in a fairly strong issue. Read Full Review
Another good enough chapter of the Hellfire Gala. Read Full Review
A really fun issue. Nice to see the Terra Verde plot com back around to bite the Mutants. Beast continues to screw up and leave the rest of X-Force to clean up his mistakes. Honestly, I enjoyed this issue more than I thought I would. Deadpool crashing the Gala was a fun surprise subplot as well.
A lot of fun.
A very nice return-to-form for this series. Cassara being back on the art duties was already a great sign, and he ended up, unsurprisingly, doing a good job with the interiors. Percy's story was significantly more interesting, as well. The encounter between Wolverine and Deadpool was fun, and I also enjoyed the interaction between Emma Frost and Sage.
Ooooh-ooh, Beast is in truh-bull! Couldn't have happened to a more hubristic furball and I can't wait to see how it plays out. Writing and drawing are rock-solid here, providing a blissfully welcome counterpoint to the disappointing start of the Gala in Marauders #21. (Getting to actually do some plot development helps a lot!)

This was miles better than the last few issues and mainly because the cast is back in action and Cassara is also back in action. Beast is just the worst right now even if the green men plot is getting tedious but it served its purpose. Deadpool was a welcomed distraction! Finally I have to emphasize Cassara and eFx's art because without it this story would be crap.
Really want to see Beast confront the Quiet Council. I thought for sure they would pick him as a replacement for Jean but he seems way too ingrained in XForce now.
not that bad, off to a strong start
Its pretty good. It told and entertaining story for what it had to work with.
At least it attempted to do a story instead of the boring meet and greet
Percy is losing his subtlety with what he's doing with Beast, it gets really tedious, but I enjoyed the parts with Deadpool being angry at mutants for treating him like dirt.
Can please Percy come up with new antagonists? They've been stuck with these plant creatures for months now.
Can they please finish this plant-men plot already?
