Kraven takes his hunt to Krakoa, to prove he is the apex predator-and not even the mutants, the so-called dominant species, are a match for his prowess. Will this spell the end of X-FORCE, and mutantdom as we know it?
If you've enjoyed Kraven and Percy's ability to capture the psychotic hunter's personality, you'll love X-Force #32. Not only does it feature Kraven at the height of his powers doing what he loves, but this issue firmly establishes that the X-Force is only as strong as their active members and team unity is at any given time. Basically put, they're screwed! Read Full Review
X-Force #32 is a simple but effective comic. Percy keeps the story going in an entertaining manner, playing with a couple of his long-term plots. Gill and GURU-eFX are an amazing team, and their art really elevates the book. Itll be interesting to see how this story shakes out. Read Full Review
And while the action sequences and one (again, excessive) splash portray the grisly action in fine detail, X-Force #32 is too busy forcing a contrived scenario in the final page to invest in its own narrative. Read Full Review
I have been loving this arc (and everything Benjamin Percy has been doing lately for that matter as I'm also reading and loving one of his newest novels called the ninth metal). This story is hitting on every level. I'm very intrigued by the story and loving every panel. I have loved this entire volume for the most part but have to say the addition of Deadpool as a supporting character has been great as he provides a little humor making a great book even better
A vegetable made Deadpool fighting Kraven on Krakoa. Beast running from a dinosaur in a 3D projection. This series is nuts.
After two issues with this new team and arc, the action finally starts to heat up. Kraven turns out to be surprisingly good at killing mutants, and the diologue of his inner thoughts is well written. Deadpool is another surprise in this issue, and it is refreshing to see him serious for once as he confronts Omega Red on what he did to him earlier in the story. It is also refreshing to see Beast finally put in danger at the end of this issue, after his arrogance in the beginning of the issue, he needs to be humiliated. There were some parts that proved to be difficult to read, especially Omega Red's casual cannibalism, which makes me wonder what direction X-force is going to take moving forward.
The highlight of this issue is most likely Percy's writing of Kraven, for me. Gill's art was the best it's been in a while, though. Either way, I found this to be a good issue as a whole, but it still largely ignores Judgment Day, despite being advertised as a tie-in. However, I am looking forward to seeing how this wraps up.
It's a nice, fast action story that doesn't require (or, sadly, reward) intensive reading. The art looks great and Kraven's hunt barrels along briskly. There's some good craft in the script that makes plenty of space for Kraven's maniacal musings without bogging the story down.
X-Force continues to be fun stories about awful people, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
This shiz is bonkers!
