#X FORCE 11 SERIES#
There’s been a war brewing in the background of X-Force ever since the series started.Right off the bat, I have to say that the cover to X-Force #11 is one of my favorites so far. X-Force #11 is available now from Marvel Comics. It’s the Dawn of X book that captures the feel of classic X-Men best while still driving forward into the future and feeling fresh. In this case, it’s a minor distraction, thanks to all the wonderful chaos all over the page, but it’s still obvious.Įven with the flaws though, I still deeply enjoy this series. It’s a flaw in his work that often becomes distracting. Their bodies are usually strangely proportioned, and their hands are always impossibly small, with no variation in body type, height or face. However, the issue still has the same problems that Bazaldua’s art usually has – he cannot draw women. They’re absolutely nasty, silly and over-the-top, and you can practically hear gleeful little giggles as they run across the page. He emphasizes the comedy behind the nesting dolls concept, and plays with that all through the issue. If the creative team had shifted the antagonist just a little bit, it would have landed much better.īazaldua has a very solid grasp on the storytelling here. Russia as a supervillain is a tired trope already, but when you combine it with the fact that actual Russia is a much more insidious and present threat than what we see here, it falls flat. However, there’s a pretty big flaw in the story, and that’s the villain. He also wisely makes it clear that Colossus is a much more morally grey figure than he’s been in the recent past, which lines up more with the classic Chris Claremont approach to him. However Percy knows that they’re silly and dumb and leans into that. The nesting doll drones are just plain gross, and they pose a serious threat to Krakoa.
Percy is not often what many people would call a funny writer, but this issue is hilarious, just in a very different way than you might expect. Can Colossus help turn the tide or will his involvement just make things worse? However, when a biological weapon activates, sending tiny humanoid drones all over the island, they are overwhelmed. In the wake of Wolverine’s war on the Flower Cartel, X-Force begins dissecting the bodies of the post-human soldiers used against them. It all comes to us from Benjamin Percy, Bazaldua, Guru-eFx, Joe Caramagna, and Tom Muller.
However, his hands are not clean, and that’s just the beginning of the complex story being told here. This arc promises the return of a classic X-Man to help fight a brutal war on Krakoan soil. In X-Force #11 that comes to a head, in probably the grossest way possible. There’s been a war brewing in the background of X-Force ever since the series started.
