So it looks like we're actually getting somewhere at last.Yet another member of the team bites the dust but at least those that are there are gettign a little more fleshed out.I was going to drop this from my buying schedule if it had continued as it was but now that an arc is beginning to emerge I might just stick with itI want to see how far coach and U-go girl will go.And next months issue has wolverine in it.
So what did the rest of you think?

I think Wolverine's legs look really skinny in that cover shot.

Well, I think it was the best issue thus far, and that everything is starting to gel now. It's the first issue where I feel like I'm reading a Peter Milligan comic...the previous issues, I didn't feel it so much. I'm starting to like this a lot...and it doesn't hurt that Mike Allred has been one of my favorite cartoonists for years.

I was sad to see St. Anna go, if just because I feel there should be more beautiful girls from Argentina in the comics that I read.

I'm actually really enjoying this comic

It is the ultimate meditation on throw-away culture told through a traditionally throw-away medium

disposable heroes aren't new to comics but seeing them done well is - especially striking that balence between character development and emphasising that *anyone* could die next

the disposable -pop asthetic is helped even more by mike allred's art (I'm not a fan of that style but i think it works quite well in this context).

yeah I didnt think i'd be buying this title for long, but after 4 issues i'm still liking it.

I love the new X-Force. Very quirky and smart. I thought #118 was sort of a drag, but this issue was tops. Hope the quality stays up.
