May 12, 2012 8:09 am Absolutely. This was a strong week with lots of contenders but X-Force was definitely the most engaging. After being mostly a DC reader, Remender's the reason I'm now reading a lot more of Marvel. Plus, while I have been reading X-Force in trade, I've now started getting it in issues because the wait is too long. For me, Remender's great at combining weird, edgy SF stories with rich characterisation. I've even started LIKING Deadpool (Shhhh!). The fact that this has such fantastic art by McKone just adds to the quality of this comic. Remender needs to be given a free reign to dig about the back end of the Marvel Universe...

April 2, 2012 2:23 pm I liked the first issue a great deal and looking forward for this. Seeing as this is a limited series, I'd certainly like to see it as a back-up story in Justice League Dark.

April 2, 2012 2:20 pm Let's hope there's a plot and it's not just 12 issues of an X-man Vs an Avenger. The MTV videos certainly have ramped up the hype for this. Whatever happens, I'll get getting this event.

March 20, 2012 1:24 am I'm not sure I get the point of telling an origin story then jumping on 5 years. Without Jim Lee this comic has less interest for me. I'll see how Ha does and then make a decision about dropping.

March 10, 2012 8:26 am Agreed. Ebay from abroad seems the only way of getting a physical copy. Plus issue 14 doesn't seem to be stocked by my usual places. GROAN!

January 19, 2012 4:38 pm I've always been a DC reader and rarely touched Marvel - but recently I've found myself picking up issues (usually after seeing them recommended here) and I'm actually enjoying them. The real focus for me has been Dan Slott writing Amazing Spider-man. But from buying zero Marvel eighteen months ago, I'm buying something like 7-8 titles a month. (I also secretly enjoyed Fear Itself and don't understand what all the hatred was about: big guys hitting other big guys with hammers. Worked for me). I really believe that we're in a great time for comics. I don't see the situation as negatively at all. Quite the opposite.

January 18, 2012 1:25 pm Walt Simonson? Absolutely looking forward to this. Come on iFanboy: after all the negative things you've said about LoSH, make is PotW!

January 3, 2012 4:51 pm Absolutely. What's surprised me most is that Schism rekindled my interest in X-men for the first time in about 10 years. I'd also add Dan Slott on Amazing Spider-man this year has been nothing short of a great, fun read and looks like it's going to carry on like that into 2012.

December 20, 2011 4:23 am This pairing of Aaron and Silvestri is great. I'm no Hulk fan but I'm signed up to this!
