    Default REVIEW: Uncanny X-Force, #35

    "Uncanny X-Force" #35 wraps up the series, as Rick Remender and Phil Noto deal with the aftermath of "The Final Execution Saga" and for one character, we even have an unexpected happy ending.


    Full review here.

    I got the impression this was written more as a goodbye from Remender than a goodbye for the readers. Still...it had its moments.

    Mixed feelings on this issue....not thrilled about who returns this issue or the happy ending

    Wade & Pocky scene was nice

    Betts & Brian scene - nice to see them make up...wonder what will happen to Brian since he won't be in any of the Avengers books now? I think Jamie will be like Mad Jaspers & return again.

    The issue did tie everything up for the series.

    This issue was everything I wanted it to be. It was nice to see Remender sprinkle in a few little potential plot points to hit later in Uncanny Avengers. The Deadpool/Evan scene was PERFECT, my second favorite scene in the series after the last few pages of The Dark Angel Saga.

    Farewell to one of my favorite X-Men books of all time!

    Nice issue to ends Remender's run of UXF.

    It's not mindblowing or anything, but I'm still surprised that Remender manages to surprise us in this issue with the 3 Fantomexes.
    I'm glad that Betsy and Brian made up tho I can live without her crying in the process. Having Shadow King put in Otherworld might cause some serious problem in the future.

    Wasn't expecting Psylocke and Fantomex to have a happy ending. But i've grown to love the couple. I'm curious how Humphries will incorporate that aspect in his run on UXF.

    Wade and Evan was the gold moment of the issue. Im so gonna miss Remender's Deadpool. And I'm certainly gonna miss Remender on this book.
    It's been such an enjoying run. UncannyX-force vol.1 will be one of my precious X-men collection. Thank you Rick Remender!

    I was shocked at how much I liked this issue. Coming into it with the lowest expectations was the right thing to do . I must admit I have a soft spot for Fantolocke despite its problems. It's a guilty pleasure . I really hope Humphries doesn't kill Regular Fantomex or something. I'm in complete agreement about Deadpool and Evan. They were so cute. And I'm right there with you on liking seeing Elizabeth and Brian reconcile but wanting it without the tears.

    This is just speculation on my part but I suspect Elizabeth and Fantomex are going to break up in the six month gap between this and the next UXF. Assuming they are in fact a couple at the moment.

    I'm going to echo what most are saying with it being a nice ending. As a series of whole it wasn't predictable but yet natural flowed. I like how there is still a few loose threads. Looking forward to seeing other authors run with them. I will miss this team they are a classic.

    Psylocke felt unfinished to me, all these things happened to her in the last 15 issues and none of them felt like they came full circle to me. Since she almost seemed to be the main character in these 35 issues, sometimes I just felt like her stories were missing one page each time. Especially with her selling her sorrow, was there not supposed to be some kind of resolution to that? Is that something that the character will address somewhere down the line? I don't know of any books Remender is writing that has Psylocke and/or Fantomex in.

    I also needed an issue with Angel in it, some more interaction between him and the team, is he in anything besides WXM?

    Maybe I missed it, but what ever did future Wolverine tell current Wolverine in secret?

    Its like I thought that was a major point and it never got brought up, and if it did, I totally missed it

    If any loose threads about Psylocke are going to be addressed they'll be addressed by Sam Humphries in the new UXF. Or maybe Remender will talk about them in an interview.

    I forgot to include it in my review. Future Logan told him he had to kill Daken or else Daken would kill the students at the Jean Grey School.

    I'm 'okay' with the ending. The first volume as a whole was great though, now I'm excited about volume 2.

    I've enjoyed this series since the very first issue. It's been one of my favorite X-men runs to date. I think Rick Remender has done something very special here. He really showed an attention to detail that I don't see in a lot of comics. He actually has it so previous arcs tie into future arcs in a cohesive way. He didn't just take the series on an issue-by-issue basis as I'm sure some writers do. This felt like a truly complete run. I'm sad to see it end, but I think it ended well. Although I could have done without Psylocke kissing Fantomex again. But since she's going to be heading up a new Uncanny X-Force, I'm okay with it. I did a full review of the final issue as well on my blog. If anyone is interested, here's a link:

    Deadpool is the uncle everyone wishes they had. For that scene alone, I've gained a new love and respect for the character. Rear a scene can make you go Awww and then HA in a few short panels.

    Remender wrote an awesome Deadpool. Perfect mix of crazy and sweet.

    Twas nice; Remender wrapped up what he could. The only dangling plot threads he left that I can see are spoilers:
    Fantomex's psychotic third
    end of spoilers running free and the Archangel baby. Kurt is being taken care of in X-Termination, and I got the feeling we're supposed to infer that Betsy is complete and can feel emotions again, sort of. (It's vague and confusing)
