Are my eye deceiving me or is Rachel wearing some rad Spiderman shades?
Your eyes do not deceive you!
X-Force was SO good this week. I loved Spurrier’s X-Men Legacy run, but I wasn’t feeling his X-Force at first. It’s really grown into something great though. It reminds me of Remender’s X-Force run that way, actually. Neither jumped out at me as great from page one, but they both built to a really fascinating crescendo.
YES. This was the week when I realized that a lot of what I’d previously read as tonal idiosyncrasies were, in fact, extremely story-relevant and deliberate. STEALTHY GENIUS.
