Ok . . I have to admit . . I like this book too. Maybe not as much as X-Factor, but . . I still like it. I know the X-Men aren't supposed to kill. I know that's not what the 'heroes' do. But . . you have to admit . . it's kind of nice to see these guys take on the 'bad-guys' sometimes with reckless abandon. It's got to be a little liberating for them to fight a 'bad-guy' and they're not sure willing to do, or capable of. If nothing else it would make the playing field a little more even. Anyways, last issue ended with Agent Morales and Laura trying to get out of the facility. Laura knows that she's the only one that can take out the guards, but . . she's one arm short. So she has to even the edge. She loads her trigger scent into the sprinkler system and then sets it off. As she makes her way to the director of the facility, she's on a killer rage the whole way. Just as she makes her way to his office, Kimura tells him to flood the system with water. I don't know why she bothered though. When Kimura gets there, they fight about Laura and she takes him out herself. She could've saved herself the bullet. Anyways, Morales shows up to help Laura and they both get out. During the interim, Morales booby-trapped every flammable part of the facility that she could find. But Kimura still survives. She warns her over Morales' radio that she'll never stop and that she's coming after everyone . . starting with Megan. Shortly after, Domino and Wolverine show up and they take Laura home. Meanwhile, Warren and James have made it back to Warren's house in time to see the destruction caused by Rahne and her friend. They don't know what happened, but soon Hrimhari approaches with Rahne in his arms asking for their help . . specifically Elixir's. And, on the final page, we get a quick glimpse at Necrosa . . specifically Doug Ramsey. I love what Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost are doing with this book. This is how X-Force should've been . . a long time ago. They just never took that final step. Also Mike Choi's art, and cover, is spectacular. But don't worry. We'll see Clayton Crain soon in the Necrosha one-shot. It's only a few issues away.
