I'm glad to see that X-Force is sticking around for another go. I would like to stop seeing books get renumbered, but that's a minor detail that I'm sure you'll hear me freak out about at a later date.
Two issues in and I'm not totally disgusted yet *coughWolverineGoestoHellcough*
I'm glad to see Fantomex again. I really like this character. He's like a Deadpool sans all the shameless fan service and lunacy. I would read a Fantomex book if he could harbor a good writer. Anyway, this book is interesting thus far. Wolverine is babysitting Warren's bad-boy alter-ego by preparing Psylocke to run her boyfriend through should the need arise, which I'm sure it will.
Speaking of Wolverine, this is one title I'm not pissed to see him recklessly thrown into without regard for continuity. Seriously, I hate that Wolverine is omnipotent in the Marvel Universe. Speaking of serious, Deadpool is the mascot of this incarnation of X-Force. While his pointless bullshit adds some moisture to Logan's dry-as-day-old-cornbread sense of humor, it really has no flavor anymore for me. I don't need him narrating a comic a la Mystery Science Theatre when I could do it just as easily.
The art is decent. The cover is better. I really like Ribic's two X-Force covers so far and wish the whole interior was his to control. Remender's writing is enjoyable and thoughtful of the characters. I'm not familiar with his writing, but I look forward to reading more.
I'm glad to see X-Force is staying around and the team is staying small. Hopefully it outlives it's opening story arc.
