Imagine this: you're a regular reader of X-Force because you love the darker side of mutant life, and seeing a bunch of heroes cross lines heroes don't usually cross, but then all of the sudden Warren Ellis' run ends and you have this bizarrely drawn critique of consumer culture written by Peter Milligan. While I can't personally imagine anybody liking X-Force before this book, it must have been a pretty big shock. That's not to say this trade isn't great, though, because it is. It's weird that a mainstream, (presumably) in continuity book would go in such a strange direction, but hey, it was the new millennium anything could happen. Oh yeah, the plot is that a corporation trademarks the name X-Force and then hires a bunch of mutants to fight crime/bad guys so they can make bank on all the merchandising rights.RATING: 78%

kind of brilliant. Must read.
X force sucks, and anyone who was ever into them, even in grade 6, must be a real fucking tool.
im not comenting on this one
Are Cable and Domino in this version?
And IJ, aqui, en los estados unidos, we call it the 6th grade. By the way, what awesome comic titles can I find that originate in the great white north?
John ahoramente de Daejeon, pero puro tejano todos los dias.
Domino shows up in like two panels as a joke, but all the characters are pretty much completely new.
Oh, you know, Captain America, Tintin, Akira, we came up with all that shit.
