This might've been the best issue of X-Force volume 3 I've ever read. That's an extreme statement, but this has never been one of my favorite X-books. I never cared for the "so dark you can't really see it" art, slick as it might have been, and as someone who owns every issue of X-Men and 80% of Uncanny, I know the characters, and the characters in X-Force have never sounded quite right. Close, but not quite. It's all just a little too "dark for the sake of dark."
Maybe it's just Scott keeping the team from Emma that's been bugging me the whole time. It's not like she isn't still way more evil than he is. But those issues are in the past. Second Coming feels like the kind of X-Men I grew up reading. It's dark and heavy, sure, but it's also a hell of a lot of fun.
The highlight of the issue has to be Scott's plan. It isn't mind blowing-ly original or anything, but it's handled well. Cable's decision to go along with it is great as well ("It's a good plan"), damn the consequences. They get Cable and Cyclops exactly right in this issue, and it isn't easy to do. Cyclops last line got me emotionally, even as it perfectly captured his endless flair for melodrama.
The art here was better than in 90% of X-Force issues. Still, it lacks the kinetic energy that would make the action really come alive. I find this is often the case with more painterly styles (even Alex Ross is guilty of it at times. It's hard to convey a sense of urgency when we're too busy looking at how pretty it all is). The wordless pages that open the issue were a bold choice, but when one of the X-Men is seriously wounded, I had trouble figuring out who it was (I guessed right, as it turns out, but only because I actually read New X-Men..).
