Thunder for the Next World 3
The Story: Flashback: Dark Beast seems to have freed Archangel from his imprisonment in Cavern X, and allowed him to fully become the new Apocalypse. They fly to the North Pole, to Akkaba's main underground base. It appears that the Horsemen of Apocalypse have returned from outer space somehow. Archangel refuses to be called Apocalypse and distinguishes himself through a very informal rule of Clan Akkaba. He visits Autumn Rolfson, the former Famine. She shows him her son, Genocide (he is alluded...

The Student Certainly Outclasses The Master -- By a country mile! 1
Hmm. Well. Please, excuse me for a moment.... *Takes a deep, long breath... .... ....* Whew! Wow, where to begin? This latest instalment to The Dark Angel Saga was a real page turner! Here, I'll give ya'll a quick morsel of this truly excellent portion of the Saga event; It opens on a easier note when compared with the previous issue, we see the Heir of Apocalypse gathering his forces, the four horsemen, Ozymandias, a new powerhouse by the moniker of Genocide (who he's related to is intere...

Age of Archangel 0
After an epic adventure in the Age of Apocalypse, the Uncanny X-Force return to their home dimension. But they are soon caught off guard by the overwhelming numbers that are accompanying the now evil, Archangel. When Archangel demands for the Life Seed, the item that X-Force had fought for in the AoA, will X-Force hand it over or will they die trying? The Good Well, Opena's back. And he makes one hell of a comeback in this issue of Uncanny X-Force. The effort he puts into his action packed pane...

Brilliantly structured and flawlessly paced. Remender nails it! 0
Oh how I love "Uncanny X-Force"! Last issue was good but ended up feeling convoluted and a tad disconnected from the elements that have made the series great. In issue #14, writer Rick Remender yanks us out of the Age of Apocalypse and gets back to the meat and potatoes of this series - the characters. This is a fantastic issue and Remender once again beautifully mixes gritty yet artistically harmonious action sequences with poignant character moments. This feels like such a drastic chang...

Starved for Apocalypse 0
Maybe it’s the sun I got this weekend or the residual glowing feeling from the Stevie Nicks concert I went to this weekend, but this issue was excellent! I was honestly starting to feel like the entire Archangel/Apocalypse storyline was getting played out, yet again, but this installment really brought it back! It’s one thing for Apocalypse to take on a new host, as we’ve seen him do in the past, but usually that new host just becomes a new Apocalypse. Not this time folks!! This isn’t j...

That has got to be the nicest megalomaniac ever 0
The Dark Angel Saga reaches Part 4 in what is certainly an interesting issue, and also probably the best of the arc so far. Now, I parachuted both into this title and into this story in the second part (issue 12), and that was simply because I love, love, love the Age of Apocalypse. A meeting between that world's unique and interesting X-Men and the X-Force team (coupled with some excellent art) was more then enough to hook me in. Both it and the following part were good, but not perfect. F...

A Crazy Ending 0
Let me just say, before anything else, that this issue is beautiful. I LOVE the artwork, especially the colours on this issue. I love that comics have evolved to the point that we can have art to match the content rather than the generic looking stuff we had in the 1990s and prior. Story-wise I’m not sure what to think. We pick up (more or less) where we left off – all the good guys teleported and standing in from of all the bad guys. Unfortunately, given the relationships between the...

"You tell me that it's evolution" 0
Almost a year ago, after the events of Second Coming and the Heroic Age, Wolverine decided that the X-Force's purpose and blood spilling shouldn't die just because Scott Summers said so, so he gathered a very different and unusual bunch (to say the least) and regrouped the X-Force - the creative team behind this relaunch was Rick Remender and Jerome Opeña and the first arc story was "The Apocalypse Solution" in which our "heroes" were confronted with the difficult task of forever eliminating the...

Genocide Meets World 0
THE GOODEverything. The art and writing are fantastic.The story takes on a life of its own as it deals with every available emotion. In fact, if we take a step back and look at the issue as a whole, there are many themes: Love, Devastation, Small Victories and Utter Failures. One of these themes, intentional or not, was the harsh juxtaposition of a small town Mother (love) and Son (hope) with Famine (mother) and Genocide (son). I may be over-thinking this, but I couldn't help but make the connec...
