X-Force: Sex + Violence (Graphic Novel Review)

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Roman Colombo

Written by Criag Kyle and Christopher Yost, Art by Gabrielle Dell’Otto I rarely start with price, and even more so, I never recommend a book that the price costs more than the individual issues (like the Siege hardcover edition)…but in this case, I have to change my stance.

X-Force #15 (Messiah War Chapter 5) – Review

Posted on May 28, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost (Writers) and Clayton Crain (Artist) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The “Messiah War” storyline has been extremely hit or miss. It’s had a few good moments but as a whole, it’s been rather unsatisfying. I’d love for it to find some sort of consistent, quality groove, but at this [...]

Posted on May 6, 2009 by pozzyfreak

X-Force #14 (Messiah War Chapter 3) – Review

Posted on April 23, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost (Writers) and Clayton Crain (Art) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The Messiah War crossover event really hasn’t even started yet.

X-Force #10 – Review

Posted on January 6, 2009 by pozzyfreak

By Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost (Writers), Mike Choi (Art), and Sonia Oback (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: X-Force is one series that I can’t help but root for.
