X-POSITION: Remender Stays On Mission with "X-Force"

[slacker]

I wonder if killing the Horsemen are part of Nightcrawler's mission parameters.

Stryfe was NOT a bad ass. He was an lame simulacrum. It's like when Mattel issued an evil purple He-Man and called him "Faker", and we're supposed to be ostensibly impressed. We weren't. And Crain's artwork helped none, you could barely pick him out of the surroundings half the time.

Ok while i will admit that this is one of the arcs that Crain defintaly over Darkened EVREYTHING!
come on this Cover is freaking amazing

and this was a supurbly epic Apocalypse Image

Isn't Bishop dead? lol Not that death really means anything anymore in the MU. It's like sleep. Maybe more like a coma. The only one who seems to stay dead for any period of time is Jean Grey. But I trust in Remender to take something, even something old, and make it new. I'm really enjoying his runs on Uncanny X-Force, Secret Avengers and Venom. He actually does story arcs that matter. His run reminds me of how Claremont/Byrne went from storyline to storyline building first The Phoenix Saga and then The Dark Phoenix Saga. I really enjoy this style of storytelling because it has little things you might not notice until re-reading the whole thing.

Bishop is not dead. It never was even implied he was.

I wanted to like Messiah War but it was very anticlimactic. We got no answers about Hope, the fight between Stryfe and X-Force felt like a DBZ episode. And every scene with Archangel & Apocalypse made little to no sense. "I'm not you slave anymore, and i'm gonna save your life to prove it."
Also "Give me Hope. Please. - Okay."

define what you mean by this and why is it a bad thing?

Also "Give me Hope. Please. - Okay."

this i kinda got, it was that Apokalypse respected Arcangel for Standing up to him and demanding something from him

Clayton Crain's artwork had me on the edge of dropping the title every single issue he drew.

Sloppy, too exaggerated, too dark and frequently hard to follow. I was always super excited for arcs with fill in artists. Mike Choi's clarity of line and storytelling was a breath a fresh air.

He is a genocidal madman, not some honorable samuraï. He should have crushed him with a hammer/fist.

If they had been building to this...it would make for a helluva interesting saga... Professor X going dark and turning on the ideals that he created...and trying to destroy the X-men? It would be a world gone mad!

i get that but he respects the strong, and it was strong of Arcangel to do that

No it was stupid. By Apocalypse's definition of strenght, Archangel was weak when he showed him mercy. I actually didn't realize how much that bugged me until now. I don't think we are going to agree on that one but whatever. I'm off for the night

I've had a hard time taking Apocalypse as a serious threat ever since Miligan's story 'Blood of Apocalypse,' where he got all meepy and sentimental over things, allowing Ozymandias to stab him in the back.

This would be one way to get me interested in these two formerly lame/boring characters. They would work much better as bad guys then good guys.
