I really enjoyed this installment as I felt it was really solid. The X-Force run feels like it gets stronger with every issue. Can't wait to see where this leads to! Read Full Review

This issue's spotlight on Forge's psyche works quite well. Using Storm and Mystique as "angel and devil on his shoulder" is kind of genius. Forge is a character that has been portrayed as a two-dimensional a-hole for many years, but Thorne shows him as a hollow man not in touch with his different parts. He needs to externalize his inner voices as the two most important women in his life, which is quite sad when you think about it.
Contrasting Forge with Sage was another great move in this issue.
Now those were the pros. The cons: No To art. Still no idea who Tank is. La Diabla is not a very interesting villain and looks ridiculous.
Overall an entertaining issue. The writing has improved from last issue. Unfortunately the art dropped in quality.
I hope Thorne breathes some new life into Forge. He hasn't stepped out of his role as Storm's ex-lover in all these years, but this issue gives me hope that he could become an interesting character in his own right. more
