Gritty, Deadly: X-Force Doesn't Play by the Rules

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2011

Verified Purchase

Collects Uncanny X-Force 5.1, and issues 5-7.

What is an X-man to do when an army of cyborg-superheroes come to get you? If you're part of the no-rules, top secret, assassin squad known as X-Force, you'll trash a lot of bad guys. The issues collected here kick off with the superb 5.1. Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers return aiming to infiltrate and destroy the x-men's refuge. 5.1 has a great battle between wolverine and lady Deathstrike. The issue also showcases Psylocke's assassin skills.

The rest of the issues get caught up in a complicated plot by an inter-dimensional, time traveling army of cyborgs (the titular Deathlock Nation) who have the singular purpose of destroying Fantomex and securing "the world." Forgiving the odd Terminator-esque plot, Deadpool, Archangel, Fantomex, Wolverine, and Psylocke are expertly drawn and written as they combat the menace.

I give the collection five stars for the gritty artwork especially Rafael Albuquerque's work in issue 5.1; 5 stars for the dark team of assassins who work together to wrestle with the moral / ethical complications of being killers for the good guys.

As an added bonus the collected edition also contains an appendix of script to page that details some of the many steps a comic prgresses through from idea to finished product. A second appendix is an interview with writer Rick Remender that details some of the history and philosophy of X-Force.

A great purchase for X-fans. Solid combat, tortured psyches. X-Force comes with a "parental advisory" label for the bloody, dark plotlines. X-Force is a great series, however, for adult fans--like me--who have loved the X-Men for decades.

Not Quite as Good as Vol. 1, but Still Great

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

While Deathlok Nation didn't wow me in the same way that The Apocalypse Solution did, I truly enjoyed this book.

Volume 2 contains issues 5.1, 5, 6, and 7. The point one issue finds the team facing off against Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers in an effort to stop the deaths of the mutants on Utopia, and while it was good, I wasn't very impressed with the art. It was a bit too rough for my taste, and it lacked some detail. Again, it was in no way bad enough for me not to enjoy the issue, but it wasn't as good as the illustration in issues 1-4 or 5-7.

The actual Deathlok Nation arc was great overall. I loved that throughout the book, the team is still dealing with how things turned out at the end of their mission to kill Apocalypse. In terms of character, this issue focuses a lot on Fantomex, and for someone who knows very little about him (but has thought he was super cool since reading The Apocalypse Solution), this was a treat. We also get some good development for Deadpool, as he (and Fantomex, to a lesser extent) wrestles with how much he cares about what the rest of the team thinks about him. The action sequences are good, the plot progresses well, and boy, do those silent panels work! All in all, a great comic worth your money.

This is a very complete TPB, you could easily start reading X-Force here for a taste of it and get a good story arc with lots of action and some zany alternate reality madness. Art is good, writing is solid.

Deathlok Nation: Surprisingly good!

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

When I originally heard that the second volume of the amazing Uncanny X-Force series would only have three actual issues of the series (and one decimal issue :/), I thought I would be disappointed. Fortunately, there is very little to complain about in this book. Most of the characters are made likable, the artwork is pretty good, and it fits two stories into four issues! It also brings back the Reavers, who I haven't seen since Claremont's run in the 80's, and Deathlok, whom I haven't seen since New Avengers #34 and 35. The only problem I have is with the art in issue 5.1. Everyone in that issue is either too slender or too choppily drawn for me to give this collection a full five stars. However, I still recommend Deathlok Nation to anyone who enjoys a good X-Force story.

A little dip

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017

This one was not as enjoyable as the first one. It's not until you get to the end of the book does it make sense. Seeing how it ties back to what came before it is what saves this story. After this I want to see what happens next.

Rememder is a the best of the best with the dark x-books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2021

Reading Deathlok Nation reminds me why this was such a great time for the X-Men. Despite the main books not shining, Uncanny X-Force takes each of the characters and really develops them in ways you just wouldn't expect. The overall story is still ongoing in the back ground and yet you never feel overwhelmed or overloaded.

Great Fantomex read

Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this trade, it was a great story and a great deal of it focused on Fantomex. The story begins with a small mini-sode at the start then goes to the main issue, where Fantomex takes the wheel. The Deathlok attack was a great way to bring in an old character that I know I hadn't seen in many things as of late. The book continues with it's great character interation's and development. If you're looking for a darker team book, this series is it.

Des loques humaines

Reviewed in France on March 23, 2012

Verified Purchase

Venu de l'underground, Rick Remender est aujourd'hui l'une des plumes sur lesquelles Marvel souhaite s'appuyer afin de pimenter quelque peu ses collections.
X-Force est une équipe composée - selon le voeu de Cyclops -, de quelques-uns des mutants les plus dangereux, ou en tout cas des moins rétifs à zigouiller l'opposition. Remender fait fonctionner (ou dysfonctionner) remarquablement ce groupe de solitaires dont le ciment est Wolverine, qui est à la fois le plus "loner" et le plus grégaire du groupe.
Ce recueil contient un arc de 3 épisodes, un comic book "stand alone" et des "making of". On y voit de méchants cyber-zombies (les "deathloks", sortes de "Weapons X" ultimes) qui doivent absolument être stoppés.
Les dessins sont de grande qualité, même si Ribic a du mal à bien fixer le visage classique de Wolvie.
A noter pour finir que, selon une réputation tenace aux USA, le Français de la bande (Fantomex, un Moon Knight qui fonctionne ?) doit nécessairement se faire brancher pour son hygiène corporelle douteuse...
