Very silly premise (Fast food is the enemy), but who cares. What matters most in X-Stories are the relationships. I'm a sucker for anything Hope / Cable and Hopeless understands the heart of that dynamic. Supporting cast is great too, especially Peter and Neena
Try as I did,I didn't like this,very poor
With a surname like “Hopeless”, you’d think anything written by Dennis Hopeless would be good, as he’d be trying that much harder to make his work better and avoid the obvious snide critical remark of “This book is, (chuckle), hopeless!”. And Cable and X-Force isn’t bad, but it’s not that great either.Cable assembles a team because… well, he just does. There’s no series otherwise! They’re assembled one at a time, Ocean’s Eleven style, but there’s no real purpose, they’re just kind of going along...
Nothing to really write home about. It was ok storywise and the art fluctuated between awesome and meh.Also, I have only read Hope's story from when Cable rescued her as an infant and then protected her. So, I was hopelessly confused as to why she was a teenager. I was also confused about half the stuff going on in the character's lives.Point?Don't go into this one cold. Read the AvX, Messiah War and anything that comes before.
New and more interesting Cable with new team.
I picked this up mainly for Domino, one of my girl crushes. I like the previous incarnation of X-Force (Yost and Kyle), and I didn't have high expectations for this (just grabbed it because this is available at my library). However, it was pretty good. My biggest complaint is I had trouble following the storyline. Don't know if it was me or the layout. I have a head cold, so it might be a problem with focusing for me right now. I actually liked this team-up more than I expected. I like Doctor Ne...
I'm not sure who Dennis Hopeless is, but I thoroughly enjoyed this volume. I've always been a huge fan of Cable, but the writing has always been hit or miss. (it occurs to me that Cable may not be as cool as I think but I'm ignoring it) I loved the take on the character, love the roster - particularly Dr Nemesis, who fills the sardonic wit requirement usually reserved for Deadpool. looking forward to future volumes
Cable is having premonitions about the future. Domino, Colossus, Dr. Nemesis, and Forge round out this motley group of heroes. Too bad their first mission is sort of a disaster. Caption on the cover reads "Mad Max meets Ocean's 11." I couldn't agree more. Mysteries, action, and surprises.
Hopeless does it again!Cable and X-Force really does something special. It's not the standard "hey guys, let's form a team of do-gooders" team-up, but rather a gritty story of trust, secrets, and operating on the fringes of what's considered acceptable in the Marvel universe.The cast is excellent, and everyone has their own unique dynamic it's a lot of fun to see characters interact with each other. But perhaps the best praise I can give it is the fact that instead of jumping heedlessly from one...
Hopeless ..one of my least liked X-book writers dose nothing ton change my mind here. Although the opening scene with X-Force caught bang to rights of massacring factory workers by the Uncanny Avengers is a great opener. But for me the one-dimensional characterisations make it hard to care about anyone in this book... and it is the ongoing mystery of who's behind it all that keeps me interested. 5 out of 12.
It was fun to get back to the X-Men with a book that is not about the two schools (like Uncanny, Wolverine and, and All-New) and more about the fun aspects of a team book and dynamic. This book has some flaws, like the team coming together for no other reason than it's not a solo Cable book, and some weak enemies thrown in to fight, because superheroes have to fight somebody, but it's not that bad. I don't know much about most of these guys but they all seem interesting. Dr. Nemesis was very int...
Objectively, it's pretty good. I kind of like the idea of somebody using premonitions to change the future so thoroughly that the danger they avert never exists. Which leads to our band of heroes looking like terrorists. And I did want to see what Colossus had gotten up to since AvX. But even though I at least kind of like every character in this book, I couldn't muster up any enthusiasm for these characters in this book.
An interesting cast and a solid read.
I'm not sure I've ever read an incarnation of X-Force that elicited anything more than a "meh" reaction, and this volume is no different. I'm not sure if it's Cable, Domino, or anyone else in particular, but I just have a hard time getting excited about them. And this version doesn't even have the unique comedic stylings and impossible body contortions/proportions of Rob Liefeld's art to entertain. Ah, well...maybe X-Force just isn't meant to be for me. If anyone has a particularly good run of i...
My faith in Dennis Hopeless is gaining. Considering Rick Remender's near perfect x-force series I was hesitant that this wouldn't be as good, I was slightly wrong. Once again I love this incarnation of x-force: cable, domino, Forge, Colossus, and Dr. Nemesis; it is a good mix of new and old. Dr Nemesis is one of my new favorites and his banter with Forge is really fun. Domino has an interested relationship with colossus and I actually liked that as well considering what a emotion mess colossus i...
[This review covers the first three volumes of the series]I skipped over most of AvX, so picking up this title on the backside of it with Marvel Now! left me feeling a little lost plot-wise, so I'm not sure my assessment is entirely fair. It's not that I didn't like it, it's that I read it about a week ago and any emotion I had while reading it has long since dissipated. I do like this particular incarnation of X-Force. I haven't read too many stories with Domino and while she's a bit oversexed
I should preface this by saying, I haven't read A+X or whatever the event is called before this book so if that is influencing the reviews, then I might be off-base but I think this book is underrated here on Goodreads. This is one of the better and more interesting Cable books I've read as it captures the gritty and bleak tone of the character but adds in other characters that play off of him well too. Its nice having a moral center like Colossus and then having a witty character like Dr. Nemes...
Continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...The first disappointment of the post-AVX stories for me. Now, it isn't a bad story by any means - it is fairly exciting, moving at a decent pace, it has characters that I love... But it has its issues and most of those are to do with the (lack of) character depth.Cable here seems like a cardboard cutout (particularly compared to the depth he was given in the Cable and Deadpool series), Colossus seems a bit all over the place, Hope isn't given much to do (...
Initially was intrigued just because Cable and Colossus were teamed up... but didn’t really care about the rest of the characters. They grew on me after a while, but still couldn’t really care if they died off.To be fair... I can enjoy almost anything with Cable in it. But this is a fun read that doesn’t try to be Shakespeare.Probably deserves a 3... but I really enjoy the art, so it gets the bump.The rest of the series while still enjoyable... does not stand out enough to earn a review. They’re...
