X-Force #6 - Intelligence review *spoilers*

[nx01a]

>Great issue!
>Exceptional art. I've always loved Segovia's art, and it's a perfect continuation of the book's distinctive visual style especially coupled with the same colourist.
>The Beast narration certainly sounded as self-importantly flaunting superior intellect as I'd expect from Hank. I'm very happy Percy didn't do Hank any favours by trying to make him relatable or seem justified, and had even Jean tell him off.
>Jean atomizing the plant men was beautiful.
>A country named Terra Verde that's into bleeding edge telefloronics? A bit too obvious, Percy.
>The 616 is having an AI uprising but we've also got a potential army of Floronic Men thanks to the weaponization of the Man-Thing formula AND now these Terra Verde planimals, not to mention Krakoa's obvious organic technologies. Will the next Marvel war be against sentient plants?
>Black Tom is so... wonderfully broken. And the irony of him calling someone else a derogatory term regarding being part plant! I laughed.
>I felt deeply uncomfortable with X-Force's actions here but the Swamp Things could easily have become a threat not only to mutants but to the entire planet, so I guess they did the right thing even if for selfish reasons. Neutering another country's economy and possibly sending it back into civil war is otherwise distasteful. Well, it's still distasteful but there are higher stakes involved.
>Did Charles let himself [and several other mutants] get violently murdered to prove a point? Bringing up Pearl Harbour [as the conspiracy theories would tell me] as an example just screams that it was allowed to happen for a 'greater good'. More security around Xavier at all times, more security on the island in general would have been ideal from the start, but now there's a tangible, traumatic reason for it.

How are Hordeculture and Terra Verde related? Because obviously it can't be coincidence.

That's what I thought of as well. I feel in X-Men. It was stated there was pockets of scientist all over the world that were just like them.

This kind of falls into their brand.

The loose Plantinel will probably ruin his master plan

"Plantinel"! Love.

Nature is super resilient as we know so this Plantinel is going to be a problem.

This was a very fun read. I love overconfident anti-hero Beast. It's pretty in character for him, considering how he's been written, but I like that he dropped the whole moral superiority act. Black Tom continues to be the best part of this book. It's also nice to know that, while he certainly didn't manipulate the process, Xavier's death was a part of his grand plan. The others did ok, but not as well as Beast and Tom. And the art is BEAUTIFUL.

8.5/10

Oh Beast, you're the worst, never change.

Look forward to seeing what happens with the organic, locally sourced, farmer's market omega sentinel.

Beast was a beast this issue!

Beast isn't the one narrating the story. Xavier is.

And, the naked guy with the red eyes at the end--that's Xavier. The "conductor" is Xavier. Hank is just a pawn.

The naked green guy with the red eyes is the unsuccessfully mind-wiped son of the president. Or worse, the human mind is wiped but the plant sentience has fully asserted itself.

And Hank is the narrator.

We're supposed to initially THINK Hank is the narrator. Everything he's doing is at Xavier's direction. It goes with the "Xavier's Confession" text page.

True. I also wonder if they come in Cactus and Flower forms

Piss off, Veggies!

Hank is the narrator. We see Hank doing exactly what he narrates himself doing at several points. The data page isn’t part of his narration.

Beast is in cahoots with the homo florissima?

This man is full of secrets. Maybe it's Moira.

Oh crap, he's Logan!
