X-Force #37 finally reveals who the Peacock Man is and sorry to say, many fans will have no idea who this person is. Couple that with the forced Deadpool silliness and the lack of clarity involving the Beast fallout and Wolverine, I'd have to say the average X-fan may be hopping off this book soon. Nevertheless, I personally enjoyed the reveal and think it's a creative deep dive into some X-Men lore that's certainly quite interesting. Read Full Review

X-Force #37 offers some payoff for the years of waiting to find out who the Man with the Peacock Tattoo is while supplying some advancements on this plot. With multiple plots soon to be wrapped up, it's nice to know one corner of the gene threat towards mutants is a step closer to finalizing. Read Full Review

X-Force #37 pays off a mystery that has been going on since the comic launched. Its a good story; its entertaining, sets up a few cool plots, and the reveal makes sense. All in all, this is another fine issue of an underpraised book that deserves a lot more eyes on it. Read Full Review

The greatest strengths of this installment all lie in finding momentum once again after the series' many retreats from addressing its central conflicts. Read Full Review

X-force has been one of my favorite books since Benjamin Percy started writing it but wow lately it's been awesome! I loved the stirt from the man with the peacock tattoo. I'm really intrigued by what he is doing and can't wait for the next issue. This was fantastic

I wish the X-Force lineup had more banner characters or even minor X-men, but instead we have too many anti-heroes.

However, the advancement of the Xeno/ Man with the Peacock Tattoo plot ruled.

Really liked this, I'm a "whodunnit" guy. Also very curious about this "Max", hope he'll be an important character from now on.
Two things I dislike:
- Beast's situation was too easily solved. He should have been thrown into prison, but he's still the boss of X-Force. Why?
- The mystery was dragged for too long and this villain hasn't really been a threat for mutants... He was there, plotting in the dark, but I almost forgot about XENO at times.

I thought the same thing. They literally caught beast at his prison experimenting and he is still leading x-force? It makes no sense.

Percy said that beast's arc it's not finished yet

A pretty good reveal here, regarding the Man with the Peacock Tattoo. The whole plotline was a little dragged out, with the solicitation even noting that it's taken us thirty-seven issues to get to this, but I still liked how it was handled here. Aside from that, there was surprisingly a little too much of Deadpool here for me. Though, I did like the focus on Domino here.

This is a satisfying payoff to a long-running mystery; the XENO story is popping again. The art serves up the usual yummy mix of detail and body horror, and the dialogue is solid. There's maybe a bit more Deadpool comic relief than I want, but that's subjective.

This issue was alright, but this story has dragged on for too long, in my opinion

Overall, I would say this issue was average. The Peacock Man reveal wasn't special at all, and if you're like me, you will have no idea who this guy is and have to look it up. It does look like this part of the story will be coming to an end in the next issue, so it is nice to see the gradual build-up to the fight ahead.
Besides Peacock Man, I found myself rather enjoying the moments featuring Deadpool, Domino and Omega Red. They really didn't get to do much, but their interactions with each other made me smile. And this part of the story seems to be bringing back Domino's arc to the forefront and seeding an upcoming confrontation with the soon-to-be-arriving Colossus.

I’m not clear how having an egg helped him, especially because it’s one use, but I did enjoy the issue more than I expected.
