Default X-Force #19 aka Agent Morales is Awesome - Review and Spoilers

So....

I've been bitching about this arc, pretty much because of the last issue and how it ended. I'm happy to say now that I am stupid and wrong. This was a fantastic issue, filled with good action and fun interactions and my love for the book is back and stronger than ever!

Let me begin by saying Agent Morales is amazing. Chris and Craig came up with a really fun new character, that I hope will hang around after this arc ends. She doesn't take crap, and she proves to be here one hell of a woman. She also gets great funny lines, specially when interacting with X-23.

After rejecting an offer to join the Facility, Morales gets rid of her "HAMMER" captor, puts a bullet in Kimura and helps Laura (holding her arm, can't let the Facility get it!) escape. Kimura is RIGHT behing them, though. Alive.

Back at San Fran, Loa, Nori and Jullian watch over Elixir while Cyclops talks to Dr. Nemesis about the dude's chances. Yes. Dr. Nemesis. Cyclops doesnt wanna get Beast's help. Julian wants to go with Wolverine after Laura, but Cyclops won't let him.

Which brings us to Wolverine and Domino forcing the Cuckoos to find Laura via Cerebro. But the Cuckoos are like "We can't find her. Whatever. She's probably dead already". Domino then points her gun to one of the Cuckoos head and says something like "Well, if you don't find her, my hand will 'accidentally' make my gun shoot and it will 'accidentally' kill you. LOL. Funniest scene ever. The Cuckoos then finally find... Rahne!

Rahne and the Prince just won the battle, by the way! But then Rahne strangely collapses.

Selene has a new guest. Her Inner Circle brings in... Irene Adler aka Destiny.

Meanwhile, Morales and Laura find themselves stuck in a room full of... that substance that makes X-23 goes WILD in a KILLING SPREE. Oh-Oh.

Action packed issue full of fun little moments! Get yours!

The X-23 parts bore me (SORRY RG). I kind of hope Kimura dies soon so we never have to see her again.

Destiny was badass, though.

And Destiny thought Forge was the one for Raven.

Pssht. Yeah. Precognition failed on that one, Irene. That was scarcely even a fling.

Oh, and Mike Choi's art is flawless as usual. His Selene is beautiful and so is his Loa (thanks, C& C! I knew she was still on your minds and hearts!).

LOL. It wasn't that. Destiny wanted to be the only one who got Mysty peen. She tried to steer her away from Bobsondick.

How did destiny ever have legs like these when she has always been an old lady?

*Cyke tells everyone that Laura is missing*

Julian thinks to himself: You know i have some unresolved issues with Laura which will probably end with us having sex. Now if she's gone i wont get laid. Maybe if i go rescue her she'll say "Oh Julian your my hero take me im yours forever." Excellent. Nothing can stop my plan.

J: Let me help you save Laura!

Wolverine attempts to answer but Cyke says: No Julian.

Julian and Wolverine think to themselves: Summers is such a cock block.

I'm srry i had to take a shot at Julian even though im a Julian fan.

Cant wait to read the issue though

So how much longer does Cyclops think he can keep X-Force from everyone else?

She's from the Tina Turner skool of killer legs at 80.

Where's my apology? Actually considering the fact that there was no preview. I thought that we would be in for a juicy issue. But it was pretty much by the numbers. Nothing new exposition wise on Laura. Though I love it to see that she still can keep her head (no pun intended) and keep her focus on the job.

LOL! That was the best bit for me! I was never a fan of Neena. But I have to admit that she's grown on me. Love her loyalty to Laura. I changed my mind and think she'll be an excellent 'big sister' to her.


The art work was great. Sadly Hellion is still alive. But hope springs eternal!
