  1. The only issue of Uncanny X-Force I didn’t enjoy was the previous .1 issue. And I really do not like Billy Tan’s art. I might leave this one on the shelf.

  2. Avatar photo 36crazymet (@themikeylamb) says:

    I might be mistaken but dosen’t Uncanny X-force #20 come out this week also?

  3. because of Ron’s constant praise of this book on this site I went and read all 18 issues.

    Yeah, Ron is right.

    I’m in.

  4. I can’t decide if I should jump on with this or start with the trades. Thoughts, anyone?

  5. This reminds me of the issue of The Authority that was used to just launch The Monarchy and had nothing to do with The Authority.

    • Wow, I totally bought the Monarchy because of that Authority issue. I remember being so confused by that book.

      More on topic, I want to start reading X-Force, but I’m holding out for an Omnibus of the first 18 issues, and then reading this in trades from there on out (I try to keep a tight leash on how many 20 page $3.99 books I buy)

    • I bought Monarchy because of The Authority as well, and then wishing I had spent that money on tacos instead.

  6. the .1 issues, the four doller price tag, the double shipping & the constant worry of marvel crossover mania all factor into my reading UXF in trade.

  7. Okay, I was going to pick this up until I heard that it is for Age of Apocalypse, not the actual X-Force title. Is the last issue, number 19, a okay place to start?

    • I agree with the rest of the comments, you should really go back and start at issue #1. If you really are opposed to starting at the beginning issue #19 is the best place to start going forward, as it is the first issue of the new arc, then skip to issue #20

    • Thanks,man. Just went and picked up issue 19. I think I can understand easily what is going on, just I may check out the trades to get the full story.

  8. Sometimes Remender’s writing is so dense I have to put it down to pick it up. It’s Dickens, compared to a lot of stuff. Not a complaint.

    • I loved this issue. The art was great, all smudg-ey and sfumato- and Remender tells a great story. Can’t wait for AoA.

  9. So, as much as I hear people talking about disliking Billy Tan’s work, I found the style of art for this issue to be perfect. It just seemed to work with the dirty, hopelessness that Remender was showing us in this, one of, if not the, worst moment in the Age of Apocolypse universe.

    Now, I wouldn’t want Tan’s work for every issue, but for this one issue, storyline taken into account, I actually enjoyed it.

  10. This is the problem with .1 issues. It isn’t a jumping on point for Uncanny X-Force at all. If you’re looking for that try #19 or 20. Issue 19.1 is 100% a lead in to the Age of Apocalypse mini-series. As that it is fine. Well written and well drawn. But I got my AoE fix from Uncanny X-Force proper. I don’t need to see more and everyone in this world is pretty much dead already anyway.

  11. I’m hopeful. Really hopeful that this will build into something really good. We’ll see… 4/5
