X-force 50. Synopsis spoiler. It's finaly over

[Johnrevenge]

Op was probably joking, but Sage didn’t say anything about being the best version of x-force. She just said you don’t root for them but they get the job done.

Let's be honest, that part was also laughable. This incarnation of X-force has been the most useless of all the time, even the one that later changed it's name to X-Statix (for legal rights in universe) would have been much more competent.

So sad about what happened to Beast. If it weren't for stupid Professor X he would have just continued playing football and get recruited by a powerhouse college football program. Then he would land in the NFL score a bunch of endorsement deals then play a critical part in is team (Minnesota Vikings) winning multiple Super Bowls. Then he would retire get a super model wife and be a first ballot Hall Of Famer.

But nooooooooo, he wanted to make the world a better place and look what happened as a result

[Lady Midnight]

Uhhhhh, BLEH!

[Keno]

Haven't seen anywhere in this issue about Sage mentioning "best X-Force" ever book but whatever makes this small community running i guess

[Dum Dum Dugan]

I'm worried he'll be the new Hank Pym. That character was "rehabbed" in story back in the 80's. Heck he even reconciled with Jan in the early 2000's Avengers run. But it seems anytime a writer that hates him gets to write him they act like none of that happened. Only the slap and nervous breakdowns. Hopefully Beast won't have that happen but it definitely has me worried.

Like I said above, it’ll probably be more like Bishop.

Or Emma after IVX where she was a villain for a little bit before they forgot about it.

Or Forge after he went crazy in the Ghost Box storyline.

Or how Tony Stark became the Manchurian Candidate, was killed off and replaced with his younger self, only to be brought back to normal when Franklin resurrected everyone.

Or in DC Comics when they made Cassandra Cain evil before saying Deathstroke brainwashed her.

[D.Z]

They had to retcon parts out for Tony Stark later.

Marvel loves it's heel turns and back to face turns. Maybe they should start up a wrestling company?

Part of Ben Percy's final note to the audience.



Thank you, Percy. You really killed it. You killed a lot of things.

Great, something else to blame on David Gordon Green This issue has "wrap it the hell up" written all over it. Percy did kill it though. Killed the established characterization, killed years of storytelling, and killed my interest. There is a lot to nitpick in this issue. But for brevity's sake, my thoughts going into this was that the reason this book was not double sized was because Breevort did not have faith in Percy to stick the landing and might have been afraid to give him more pages. Reading this, I can see that was a good instinct. In the lead-up to From The Ashes, I have been reading the classic Fabian Nicieza/Jeph Loeb runs on the book. It has been an enjoyable experience as these books have held up very well IMHO. Remarkable how this book sucks so hard and drops the ball in every way.

[Saithor]

Came back because I heard it was over. Glad to see it is. What a waste.

To be fair, Hank had been kidnapped by the Conquistador. If Xavier hadn't intervened, he would have stayed his plaything.



I don't blame Xavier for what's happened to Beast. I blame these uninspired writers! At least Percy is done tormenting Hank for now. The healing can begin.

Yeah, I mean technically Simon and Evil Beast got the job done at the end. X-Force did what they have done for the last 4+ years, look around and be incompetent.

[Master of Sound]

So this is the end of the current volume?

[Thundershot]

Well… so… I don’t like that it was left ambiguous that Evil Beast died… there was no body, so it’s never over…

It was rushed, but… whatever. Beast moved in with Simon? That was weird. I hope they use that with the relaunch. Also… would a nuke really kill Simon? Isn’t he pretty much invulnerable at this point?

[Steroid]

Well at least now this trainwreck is over, and hopefully this version of X-Force will quickly forgotten.

[Havok83]

That was HORRIBLE and a very unsatisfactory end to the Beast saga

There was no body bc he was atomized. I dont think that was ambiogus at all as the text said that

X force attacks good hank and wonder man.
They escape but evil Hank sends wonderman back.

With xforce
Wonderman: this was a good hank
Logan: all hanks must die

The orcrist lady that was mindcontrold in the Russian plot attacks.

Logan goes for hank. Laura takes charge of xforce(she's doing somting) and is sadly the most competent leader the team had....

Hank with hank
Evil hank: were not so different you and I. Now help me nuke Mars with a black hole gun
Good: hank your acting like magneto
Evil: hank he was right.
Logan bust through the walls: all hanks must die
They fight but Evil hank activate the weapon and escape.
But have no fear wonderman is here to sacrifice himself to save the day.... except Evil hank dies saving wonderman becaue Simon's the only persion Hank cares about.

That's it good beast is alive and living with Simon bad beast is dead (for now maybe back as new dark beast)

The book ends with a shot of xforce
Sage: we were the best version of xforce ever....

Cable and all former xforce members are off screen laughing at that statement

Heh, Was Corben a better "bad guy"?
