How much fun is this series? Never before would I have thought a series featuring Fantomex and Deadpool would be such a joy to read every month; after the amazing first issue and the second issue’s coasting decency, we find ourselves with the best issue so far. The third issue introduces us to Apocalypse’s final horsemen, and gives us brief origins of each; they’re a hardcore bunch, and the flashbacks show just how disturbed each of them are. The present day battle is decent, too, with Wolverine facing off against the leader of the Horsemen while the rest of team lie dying. Rick Remender writes each of these characters wonderfully, and as a team they maintain a high level of entertainment value and intensity; the art by Jerome Opena is the best of his career, dark and stylised and perfect for the book. If you’re not reading Uncanny X-Force, even if you’re not an X-Men fan, the question is: What’s your excuse?
Art: 5 - Excellent

I’m not an expert on Japanese culture, but I rather doubt that a samurai’s daughter would become a geisha. Samurais are knights, aristocrats. Geishas normally came from poor families. Other than that, I think this was a good comic.
@Invasionforce I’m not up to scratch on that kinda thing either so it didn’t jump out at me, but now you mention it that is pretty weird.
Yeah, that hit me funny as well. Best I could justify it, for some reason the father could not make a match for his daughter and blamed her. Maybe he then forced her to become a Geisha, as that was all he thought her good for. That might fit into real Japanese history and would certainly explain why she has such serious daddy issues.
