This has to be my favorite recent comic conclusion. That ending...damn.

3.75

I’d rate it a strong 3… so I guess a 3.75. 

Overall the story was good but also made me roll my eyes at times. Certainly not as good as Uncanny X-Force. Either way the story was mostly strong and the art varied. I’m not sure I’ll read it again… but I am going to read Axis next to see how it ends.

1.0

A massive disappointment. I don't know what happened to Remender here, but his inventive worldbuilding and broad vision in Uncanny X-Force has been replaced by this tedious slog of a storyline.

Everything feels so disconnected from scope or consequence. Events fail to make sense in such a fundamental way that I'm not even sure the term "plot hole" applies, because Remender seems to have no interest in establishing internal logic in the first place. Why can the antagonist sometimes see with perfect acuity into the future and sometimes not? Why can they exert Proteus-level reality warping powers and sometimes not? It all seems so arbitrary why any one character wins any given fight.
