X-force might be my favorite Dawn of X title purely thanks to the visceral satisfaction of a black ops team. I would agree that the forming of X-Force as a reaction seems out of character, but there's some evidence that suggests this might have been intentional to make a point.

This book is pretty great! The idea of having a spy thriller set in this politically charged Krakoan Age of the X-Men is a pretty obvious fit, and X-Force certainly delivers on its promise. This book is full of big moments, and Benjamin Percy gets really creative with his cast of characters.
Those characters are, in some ways, a weakness of the book, too. The story of the book is really big, so it might be expected that the characters would get lost in the shuffle, but the most famous X-Force run had higher stakes and better characterization. I'm hoping that X-Force can find some time going forward to actually build the characters of people other than Beast.
Still, if you're looking for some mutant black ops action, X-Force is a neat book!

this started off strong by killing off charles just for him to jump scare me and come back

It’s not my favorite title out of the current X books. It’s a little dark for my tastes, honestly. But it’s compelling nonetheless.

expands the world of Dawn of X,, works nicely alongside the other stories for providing a lot of unfiltered action, but light on emotional punch

The more I've read, the more I've loved this book. The action, which is the main selling point of this book, is executed so well, that it's hard to put it down. Besides the main X-Men book, this is by far the strongest Dawn of X book.
