X-Force is really growing on me. I think it mostly has to do with the fact it's become the refugee for a) random New X-Men plot threads and b) a "bastion" for every B-list non-mutant villain to ever grace the pages of the X-Men. Considering I grew up reading 80's and 90's X-Men titles, people like Bastion, Cameron Hodge, William Stryker, Bolivier Trask and so on are all right up my alley in terms of hitting my fanboy buttons.

What? All those guys are dead? Well, seems Bastion is putting to use the techno organic virus and a bunch of dead bodies to get the old mutant hating gang back together. Oh ya, that Creed grave was for Sabertooth's father and former Bastion choice for president, Mr Graydon Creed, another mutant hater. So no retcon of Loeb's Wolverine arc yet.

Considering this was titled X-Force, the actual X-Force team barely played a part here aside from the prerequisite fight scene. It was mostly the badguys building their B-list version of the Sinestro Corps in preparation of what could be a really fun, if heavily nostolgia based, romp.

Verdict - Must Read (Check It if you have no idea who half the people I listed are)
