I'll admit, I had no idea what to expect from Uncany X Force after that amazing first arc. In fact, I was a little worried that this book may not live up to the promise of that story. Fortunately, this issue has resolidified my love for the title and this new arc promises to deliver yet another insane sci-fi action adventure for the team.
I still don't understand what Fantomex is all about; he's such a strange character and he's stranger than ever in this issue. But I love it! It's a nice change of pace to be intriqued by a character's past and his powerset and it's fitting that he is the focal point of this story as his character is developed--and revealed--throughout this arc. Meanwhile, Deadpool is the character in this issue who displays some simple humanity--and the irony of this also works wonderfully as a means to add some dimension to an often overly-simplified character.
The Deathloks are an intriging villain and this issue sets them up quite well while still reminding the readers of the impact of the team's last adventure. I love how Remender has kept the balance between forward momentum of the core plot elements while also managing to make the onset of this new arc perfectly accessible for new readers--and wildly different yet equally outrageous as their first adventure.
Meanwhile, the art, while not quite as stunning as Opena's, remains true to his tone and characterization while capturing a frentic energy as well--it works perfectly for this type of sci-fi story even though Opena is still missed.
Also, that ending!!! (spoiler alert) The last page reveal seems soo simple and expected at first glance but it leaves a lasting impression because we are truly curious as to whether this established character will be an ally or villain. The ambiguity was plotted perfectly and it had me flipping back through the book looking for clues. Very well done.
This was a milestone issue for this series. The question of whether this series was the real deal or a one arc wonder has been answered. Fantastic issue. I'm all in.
Art: 4 - Very Good
