Parental Advisory
A bomb this large requires a long, slow fuse. Expect no easy, black and white moralities here. Be prepared for pyrotechnic, nation-shaking explosions. Read Full Review
X-Force #35 is a fantastic comic. Percy does an excellent job of juxtaposing Beast and Sage and how theyve dealt with their jobs. Itll be intriguing to see where the book goes from here. Allen and Lopezs art is alright. Its not bad, but its not great either. However, this is still a really good comic. Read Full Review
X-Force #35 is a good prison break story interwoven with a deeply meaningful story of addiction and a character wrestling with guilt and shame. You get the character bits and the action while progressing key character plots in an X-Men line that's as good as ever. Read Full Review
X-Force #35 takes two promising storylines with both Beast and Sage, wraps them up together, and quickly spits them out the other side. Both story arcs were literally oozing potential after X-Force #34 only to have Percy race through them both to possibly move on to another arc. There was so much more we could have dug into with Beast as a villain. There was so much emotion attached to Sages alcoholism that seems flushed away. However, theyve both been brushed aside for what? Readers need to be prepared for surface-level content mixed with emotionless action thats incredibly flat in this weeks X-Force #35 which is so disappointing considering loads of potential dripping from last month's issue.

X-Force #35 frames the conflict between the team and Beast in the open for the first time and promises a fascinating and ugly conflict ahead. Read Full Review
Yes!!! This issue feels like such a win for X-Force. A majority of the cast returns for this issue which finally sees some plot threads wrapping up. There are such wonderful character moments here between Sage and Domino as Sage comes to terms with how far she has let her alcoholism get, and what she will decide to do for herself moving forward. We also finally get to see the team on a mission that is so much more than the splash pages we've been getting for a while, getting the chance to see how they really work together as a team. And best of all, we get to see all of Beast's plans explode in his face as the team rejects him and his evil plans. A real page-turner that gives X-Force the first glimmers of positivity that they have been miss more
I continue to love the x-force book as Benjamin Percy writes such wonderful stories with so much emotion. What has been happening with sage and her fight to overcome it has been great. I can't wait to find out more about beast and see where this goes next.
This is a fun issue. Although it's not quite as clever as it wants to be and there are a few eye-rolling moments, there's also a lot to like.
The art might not be in the tippy-top tier, but it does an admirable job conveying the action while the prose/dialogue addresses other ideas. And I'm particularly impressed with the way plot and character development are intertwined. Actions which might not be memorable on their own become compelling because their impact on the characters is clear
Sage and Beast elevate the issue, but everything else is putting me to sleep.
I’m aware we are moving to a “dark beast” version of Beast, but this issue didn’t feel believable. People change, but this Hank was unrecognizable. Also, Sage’s drinking problem is too on the nose.
