Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the iconic team, creator Rob Liefeld returns to the characters he introduced three decades ago to tell a brand-new adventure featuring these hard-hitting heroes! In this special issue, the man called Cable assembles the combined might of five different X-Force squadrons, each gathered across various points in time for one final mission: to defeat Stryfe once and for all – AT ALL COSTS! Sacrifices, betrayals and revelations await as X-Force attempts their most daring assault ever!
If you enjoy Liefeld's work you'll feel right at home here. Read Full Review
X-Force: Killshot Anniversary Special #1 has a great premise and plot that is overshadowed by the amount of characters that were included. Read Full Review
X-Force: Killshot is a nostalgia fest for Liefeld fans and there's nothing wrong with that. It's about the characters and the art and that's about it. It's best to not think about the plot too much. Just roll with it, sit back, and pretend it's 30 years ago and comics haven't evolved at all from the 90s. Read Full Review
X-Force: Killshot Anniversary Special doesn't deliver on its promise to give a title to celebrate 30 years of X-Force and instead, gives a Cable story with the most boring X-Force line-up to date. Read Full Review
This is not good. The writing, the art, everything. It's all so dependent on one's investment in... anything happening. And I don't believe those people exist.
Chad Bowers saves us from having to read a Liefeld script and the colorists do a heroic job lipsticking the art-pig. Those are the only silver linings; this comic is otherwise a dumpster fire in both concept and execution.
Read it at my LCS, they only ordered 5 copies. One of the dullest and visually unappealing books I’ve seen in a while. Haven’t kept tabs on Liefeld but this is just terrible. Unfunny dialog, a bunch of half baked concepts that seem to be a cobbling of trendy comic tropes, and tons of no stakes fist fights. Why would Marvel hire this hack at all after his Kickstarter con job, especially when the books he does complete hardly sell. Worst mainstream comic of the year, easy.
