Uncanny X-Force Vol. 3: The Great Corruption by Sam Humphries

crookedtreehouse's review

1.0

Marvel sells you the same story twice, as the final four issues in this volume are also the final four issues in volume four of Cable & The X-Men. And it's a Stupid, Uninspiring Garbage Fire of a story, too. But before we can get to that, there's the dull splat of the revenant storyline coming to an end. It was hardly a revolutionary or classic story, but it had been just bonkers enough to be interesting, and then it just sort of stops so that we can get to Hope Vs Bishop, which is also a massive waste of potential.

I don't recommend this. To anyone.

The revenant story line was annoying but the followup with Cable and Hope and Bishop and Stryfe was just plain too complicated. And I've lost track of the difference between the two X-Force(s). And I wish they'd learn how to draw Hope, though Bishop looked better than usual in this one. All in all though this issues was okay, definitely not great.

Much better than the last one. This review is for the first arc.
-concludes the revenant arc... not the biggest fan of these guys.
+Demon bear is kinda fun this time around.
++Psylocke ending hits home with her previous uncanny arc.
++Storm and Bishop headbutting
-predictable sacrifices
-save the world melodrama.

Combined story of the last issues 5/5

What a mess. X-Force hasn't been good since Remender's run ended, and it seems like Marvel has no idea what they want to do with it. Bringing old characters back, mucking about with former X-Force characters - it all feels like some sort of weird nostalgia trip gone wrong.

Now there's a new X-Force (Marvel NOW!), which I am totally uninterested in reading. This is sad, because X-Force (both the Kyle/Yost & Remender runs) used to be one of my must reads every month.
