X-Force #41 continues to show readers what it has all been building towards as Beast's acts make the future quite scary. An adventure comic through and through, enjoy this one for the journey as our characters prep for the next time jump. Read Full Review
Even as their confrontation with the primary Beast looms large, this quest across time pulls upon so many long-standing plot lines readers won't want to rush through the future Beasts too quickly. Read Full Review
Even after all the issues with Kid Omega as the lead before this one, I think this is the issue where I finally feel like I can respect the character. Percy does very well balancing the different plot points here, from Beast's plan in the prologue to the struggles that both Kid Omega and Colossus are facing. You can see the pain each character is experiencing and the artist does a beautiful job showing their facial expressions.
Deadpool's appearance was both unexpected and fun, and this time around, the diologue between him and Kid Omega actually works and doesn't feel like the same character talking into a mirror. Based on what he said, it seems that there will be some secrets revealed soon, so it will be interesting to see how everyo more
Really enjoying this arc
This bounces along fast and funny. It has a Nextwave-esque "absurd for the sake of absurdity" feel, which isn't a bad thing. The art is perfectly suited to the tone. It has enough detail to maintain the title's investment in body horror, but it's also exaggerated enough for the comedy of the current arc.
And it's not all absurdist comedy, either. There are moments of real emotion and insight salted through the story, pushing its quality level up and making it memorable.
History nerd note: Beast's idea that great monuments must have been built with an eye to leaving impressive ruins? That was an explicit goal Albert Speer had for Nazi architecture, and I'm betting Benjamin Percy is intentionally referencing that.
Still not loving this current story. I felt like this was a little too all over the place at times. That said, I still really like what Percy's doing with Beast, whether it's in this series or in his Wolverine run.
I have loved this run of x-force so much except a book here and there and this one was one of the ones I didn't really care for unfortunately. This was really goofy
