Other thoughts: season finale is exactly what I thought as well, sleaze, and not just because Milligan seems to share Joss Whedon's taste for subjecting his characters to terrible, terrible emotional suffering...
The great thing about the end of X-Force 128 is that it really does leaves the surviving main cast members in new, interesting positions. Guy is clearly going to be at an all-time low for a while (I hope, it would be disappointing if he got over this quickly...), and the implication in the last couple of pages "they will *join* me in my daily ritual" is that he may end up putting the lives of the team at stake. Tike, however, may finally have got over his death-wish, and I think he'll be the one to take Edie's death as something of a wake-up call - he feels responsible for it, but I suspect this will make him mature a little. I really like the way he chastises Guy for taking the moral high-ground but then does the noble self-sacrifice thing himself, and seems to reach some kind of resolution about his own "issues" - he faces up to the fact that he doesn't feel black, so it makes perfect sense that Spike isn't going to be there anymore to nag him about it...
Damn, I want the next issue now. |
