Comics Official X-FORCE Discussion Thread - Part 1

Same here. Betsy is the only reason I've been picking up this book and after the issue I was considering dropping it. Good thing I gave it one more shot.

Yeah, this book got alot more interesting past 2 issues. Issue 7 with Betsy and Fantomex in Paris is how I thought the series should have started. Digging it alot more now.

The out of sequence structure to both X Force book's didn't really work well imo.

So.......Betsy gets a little bi-curious huh. I think Humphries just validated hundreds of X-Men fan-fic with this issue.

 

[BoredGuy]

Is Betsy still a foul-mouthed hard-ass though??

cuz until they ditch that I'm not touching this book

 

[javi1024]

She seems to have calmed down I think. I think it was just because she was chasing Spiral that Humphries felt the need to write her so extreme.

UXF is quickly losing me. I like 1 Fantomex but this triple personality love story with Betsy is horrendous.

UXF is quickly losing me. I like 1 Fantomex but this triple personality love story with Betsy is horrendous.

That's disappointing. I was just coming on here to ask how that book was. Ive tried reading Cable's book and caught up to that space arc and try as I may, this book is terrible. Its a shame bc it has several characters I love. Its time to get new writers and the quality for this and from what you say about UXF, doesn't justify having two X-force books. I say merge or cancel them both considering a lot of these characters are already in other books

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha, I like Cable's book. Given our opposite taste in X-Force books, you might like UXF.

I guess they're flooding us w/ X-Force books now that we're getting a movie.

 

[Havok83]

Haha, I like Cable's book. Given our opposite taste in X-Force books, you might like UXF.

I guess they're flooding us w/ X-Force books now that we're getting a movie.

Haha, I'll try and check it out

 

[Colossal Spoons]

And to be honest, it was tolerable until maybe 2 issues ago when it started to focus on the 3 Fantomexes. They need to get back to Bishop A.S.A.P.

 

[def28]

I havn't really liked the way they written have Fantomex here but I think the past 4 issues have been more interesting then when the book started out. Not saying it's great though. The supposed conclusion to this Fantomex arc was underwhelming. This is nowhere near as compelling as when Remender was writing these two. Too bad. Still keeping it on pull, but Betsy and Fanto were the main draws here for me, thought Humphries could have done some stronger things with them. At least it feels very different then the other X titles and has some decent original ideas/style.

[Arklight]

Is it just me or did they change the drawing style in the latest Uncanny X-Force? Or is that just because it was dark all the time?

Hopefully "drastically altered" means "set right" and "his atrophied arm is fixed".
