You've got to be ing kidding me. I felt like the old X-Force team was such a good group of people for the ruthless team that X-Force should be. I guess I don't have to give them anymore money by picking up X-Force then. |

Uncanny X-Force - Wolverine, Psylocke, Archangel, Fantomex and Deadpool.
Written by Rick Remender. Featuring goddamn APOCALYPSE. So I have to buy it.

You're killing me, I thought I was out but now because Apocalypse is in it I'll probably have to check it out.

I'm TOTALLY loving the line-up. Like, seriously. I know there's an oversaturation of Deadpool...buuut I don't follow any of his books, including the main title anymore, so I don't mind. Plus, it still makes sense to me, considering he WAS BFFs with Cable, who was recently offed, and probably has a personal vendetta against Apocalypse.
Not to mention I LOVE LOVE LOVE Psylocke and Fantomex in a main title. I'll miss X-23, and I feel Domino should be in it too, but I'm happy with this. I'm also happy Archangel will be back in the spotlight, and in a co-captain role. I'm confused at the lack of Gambit going after Apocalypse, especially with the re-emergence of Death, but that could still come along.

Oh yeah, not to mention the dialogue between Fantomex and Deadpool should be entertaining.

I'm only really soured on Deadpool because I have still been reading it and I've just read way too much of him as of late. But since I'm taking his series off my pull list and won't be reading as much of him I'll probably be ok with him being on the team.
Also I never was really into Psylocke but after reading up on her recently I'm interested in reading more stuff with her in it.

So that final issue was much better than I expected it to be. I can't say I was a big fan of the chapters but that's on a minor thing.
I like how Uncanny X-Force is actually not know to anyone except to the people in the group, I loved the double page funeral picture, and actually that whole scene was great especially the speech Hope gave, but I do kinda wish someone else close to Cable like Deadpool got to talk. I liked the scene between Namor and Beast, the end with Hope and Phoenix was pretty mind-blowing and the ending really makes me wonder what is going to happen in the future of X-Men with all of these new mutants popping up.

Did you read Uncanny X-Men: The Heroic Age one-shot? It's not ESSENTIAL, but it does pick off right after Second Coming ends, right before Uncanny X-Men starts up again, and gives a satisfactory moment with Hope and Cyclops. Not to mention, it's bad ass seeing Steve Rogers and Scott Summers together. It also shows a little more of where Uncanny will be taking their first arc.

Nope, for some reason I didn't really think of picking up any other X-Men comics than Second Coming 2, I may have to go back now and pick it up though.

It's much better than a 5-issue mini-series with various characters getting a mini-story...like Iceman and his relationship with Mystique, again, or Colossus finding ways to deal with missing Kitty, again.
The only throwaway story is with Beast, but the Cyclops and Hope stories were very much needed. And they tie together nicely.

Read Uncanny, it was ok, the whole thing with Beast was TERRIBLE, I used to really like his character but here it was like they really want me to hate him. Summers and Rogers was a cool part, and the end with Hope and Summers was really great and I can't wait to find out about Hope's past.
And I finished Hellbound too, it was a nice little mini-story, I still feel like they crammed too much stuff into it for a 3 issue series but at least it wasn't bad.
