FATAL FLORA!
The material makeup of MAN-SLAUGHTER has been used to infect and control an army of unwilling agents! Can X-FORCE get to the root of the problem before DR. BLOODROOT kills again?
Parental Advisory
X-Force #22 is another excellent issue of this book. Percy is doing something exciting with his storytelling in this book, and the last two chapters show why it works so well. This issue is generally a great read, but it introduces new factors to the battle between XENO and X-Force that could play into the future. The art team of Gill and GURU-eFX kill it on this issue, making it look great. X-Force is a solid book, and this issue is another example of why. Read Full Review
Robert Gill delivers some great art. There are some beautiful details throughout and the action is visually appealing. Read Full Review
Additionally, I loved the in-depth analysis of the prose pages and log entries, as well as the connection to The Green that Percy elevates throughout the issue. This wasnt the best X-FORCE arc by any stretch but it was still a solid story that held his reviewer's attention. If youre an X-FORCE fan, this is right up your alley. SWAMP THING fans looking for a parallel at Marvel, may also enjoy this issue, as well as this arc. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review
X-Force #22 is a return to form as it delivers a compelling villainous arc in a single issue and embeds that in a story in which there are obvious bad guys, but no one looks particularly good. Who would have thought espionage and salad blended so well? Read Full Review
Overall, X-Force #22 is a nice final issue to a mini-story arc that plays around with plant-based enemies. It may hold a rather simplistic plot device, but Percy is good at littering his stories with interesting personalities and colorful moments. Read Full Review
"X-Force" #22 is a creepy look into a dark mirror of a Swamp Thing-style character interpreted through the world of X-Men. Read Full Review
Overall, this was a fun book that gives us a look into more of Xeno’s plans. They continue to be a threat manipulating others to do their bidding. While nothing major comes out of this book. Some alliances are made that could benefit Krakoa in the future. Read Full Review
Nice wrap-up to this two-parter. Loved Man-Slaughter and I hope to see him team up with X-Force again soon. These are the kinds of adventures I want to see X-Force going on. Hopefully Percy can keep the momentum going.
Still find that Beast rubs me the wrong way, as much as XENO does in how they manipulate events in their favor. Makes me wonder if more stuff involving people like Man-Thing and Man-Slaughter will show up.
It's a weird issue. It feels like I missed something between the Hellfire Gala and this issue? Anyway this book is too slow. It has fallen on my X-Men books ranking as Hellions is kicking butt and getting somewhere while X-Force has slowed down too much. Gill isn't bad but Cassara is half the team for me so anytime he is not illustrating, it drops. Props to Gil and GuruEfx for keeping it as close as possible.
The pace is slow and needs more meat on the issues.
This wasnt too bad and there was a decent amount to like. Im glad it seems like we starting to get somewhere with Xeno.
X-Force teams up with Man-Slaughter to uproot XENO's telefloronic terrorist. The arc comes in for what I hope is a smooth finale; maybe we can finally get on to non-plant-monster business. I actually quite like this plot, but I feel the way the story's told here, in words and art, weakens considerably over the course of the issue. There are still some great ideas turned into great plotting, though. The way the suggestion that Krakoan drugs are addictive becomes a red herring/plot twist is brilliant.
This could be a bit better. It's not that bad though.
