omg how could colossus join magneto??? I mean I get it but I never would have imagined him to do that even with his sisters death. I never knew he left the xmen to join him on Avalon.
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
That was a strange decision by Lobdell... but I actually liked that period, putting Peter in a new situation.
I just wish we had a follow up on his relationship with Magneto after his ressurection. I don't remember they interacting on panel.
I mean, c'mon, he took care of Mags' comatose body, even feeding him.

It has been a very long time, but didn't Peter Join Magneto and the Acolytes partly in hopes to steer them to be less radical?
I always thought it was a bit insulting to have Pete's emotional trauma just be filed under "brain damage" so they could have Pete come back to the fold without repercussions. I always felt that Pete's mental state should have been explored more. I do remember Magneto saying some nice things about Piotr after he sacrifices himself to cure the legacy virus.
without repercussions? Wolverine treated him as a traitor for a while, particularly #325 when he showed up with Callisto to try to stop Marrow from seeking vengeance on humans for the mutant massacre. and then Ellis made him the Kitty-stalker and had him smack Wisdom around so he could gain sympathy for his author-insert 'ship. It was a long time before Colossus looked like a hero again.
I think the next time he looked like a hero was Astonishing when he was brought back. There were moments in Excalibur, I suppose, but he still felt like damaged goods. And when he returned to the X-Men with Kurt and Kitty, overall I enjoyed it, but there were times he was the jobber/wallflower.

Personally I think the premise is a good one. Having Xforce being the Intelligence arm of the Nation of Krakoa is intriguing. Not just military black ops and artwork. I'll admit I don't love Piotr being part of this group and the Weaver cover seems to indicate Colossus sides with Wolverine and Domino in using extreme force to deal with threats to mutants.
However with the events of HoX and mutants having conquered death and Xforce seemingly getting first priority for for ressurection. Piotr may have become more radicalized or he will be a voice of reason for the ops team. Maybe Jean is using Colossus to keep an eye Wolverine, Quire, Black Tom, And Domino to make sure things don't get out of hand. Or pete is just wants to hang Domino and being on xforce is the only way lol. But Percy says something shocking happens that will affect the other xbooks in dawn of X on his twitter.
