X-Force #22 by Benjamin Percy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This arc really hasn’t grabbed me. I find the whole telefloronics thing a bit beyond me, but on top of that this issue uses the whole “you’re unknowingly working for the very person who wronged you” trope…which is so over done that it was used in the Snake Eyes movie that I watched last night.
Also…come on…a version of Man-Thing who kills people called Man-Slaughter? Maybe I’m just too old to do anything but roll my eyes at that. I usually enjoy Percy’s writing, and this issue certainly isn’t bad…it just didn’t really do anything for me. Maybe it’s because I’ve got too used to single issues also furthering some overarching plot.
The art is also…just ok. I mean, like the writing, it’s not bad, but it could be better.
Overall this is a perfectly decent comic, I’ve just come to expect more from the X-line.
