I was anticipating this as much as I was the Second Coming one-shot but I have to say this deserves a solid D grade. ZERO surprises, zero lasting ramifications (Even the "break up" will be undone by Second Coming) and some truly terrible dialogue. Pardon me...truly terrible RECYCLED dialogue. Selene's banter at the end beyond was almost interchangeable with Stryfe's from Messiah War. She even basically quoted his lines about X-Force coming at her with "their knives, claws and guns". 
 
A few of my complaints and I apologize in advance for all the negativity:

-I had read the previews and was intrigued about the bit about “ghost walking”. But the result was just some Mr. Negative war paint to be teleported into battle with.

-The Bard/Wither/Selene love triangle…utterly useless. The promise to make do for Selene what Grant Morrison did for Emma (An admittedly lofty goal)= either failed or unfulfilled.

-Why bother teasing that a few souls got away on Utopia if in Legacy the escaped Destiny already said she can’t survive without Selene’s magic? I won’t spoil the other company’s crossover finale that had similarities to this but at least they were clear about this issue.

-I still think Bastion and his crew should have played some part in this, if even just to be the Deus Ex Machina bringing down Selene. That final battle looked, sounded and ended awful.

Messiah War wasn’t perfect and got a lot of flack but it was way more enjoyable than this. But that crossover came out of nowhere and took them by surprise. Necrosha was literally years of build-up.

I agree, wholeheartedly. I kind of hate myself for buying it.

I didnt like alot about it. some stuff was okay.
dont agree with your points, most of them are wrong anyways.

This was bad.  especially the battle with selene.  She grows to be taller than any building the cosest building is toucing her butt.  then she shrinks to fight the x-men who are able to hold her in place while warpath sinks a dagger in her chest.  Also the dagger she gets stabbed with was the one she gave to james that was made from her mother's bones.  Why get something like that near warpath.  Selene is a character that has A-List potential in the hands of someone who isn't more interested in Saturday morning cartoons.  Her power set and intelligence are on two different levels.

 @Edamame:  Chris Yost's Facebook status.....O-M-G. 
 
I had no idea he was lurking around Comic Vine. If it's any consolation I really wanted to like it and thought the Second Coming one-shot was good (Please don't kill me, resurrect me and kill me again)
 

I don't think it sucked.  Yes, it was anti-climactic... but the climax was killed 2 months ago when we read the last part of the X-Men: Legacy side of the story.  That's just typical bad timing on Marvel's part (would it kill some editors to learn how to publish a cross-over without ruining the ending??). 
 
This last issue certainly felt rushed compared to others, but that's what you're meant to have at the end; a rush up to a final battle.   
 
Resolved matters:  Warpath saved his brother's soul, Selene was stopped, Elixir beat Wither once & for all, X-Force survived. 
 
Unresolved matters:  What will come of Blink & Mortis in a world without their 'Queen'?  Did Senyaka survive?  Will Selene survive?  Is it possible that Warlock and/or Magik managed to free any others from Selene's control?  Will Dr Strange & the other powerful mystics suffer the killer of all hangovers? :) 
 
I know it isn't the story I was hoping it would be.  But personally I think this is the closest thing to a happy ending we're going to get in X-Force...  And I am just pleased that Warpath survived!

I take back the NO surprises thing.  The syphilis thing definitely took me off guard.

" I take back the NO surprises thing.  The syphilis thing definitely took me off guard. "

Since I saw James in the Second Coming ad I had stopped worrying about him and firmly believed if somebody was getting offed it was either Vanisher or Foley (As he would give a last minute hint about Hope before dying).  Though that final variant cover certainly suggested it.
 
 I wasn't actively rooting for any of X-Force to die (I generally like most of them and death truly means absolutely nothing in the X-Universe anymore) but I assumed with this being the Kyle/Yost piece de resistance (And a story revolving around death) that somebody important wasn't going to walk away.

This was a huuuugggge let down! I am just glad Warpath didnt die. This event could have been so much better if they did not do it the same time they were working on Second Coming

Kind of ticked that Wither died.  I wanted him to ice elixer.

what are the ressurrected mutants that stay alive??
was wither the only one that died. 

" @Violet-Eyed Dragon:  No. Cypher survived because he tricked the techarch programming by decoding it. The rest were absorbed by Selene. "

Necrosha shucked!!

" @zero man:
the main villain from Necrosha 
the Black Queen 

"

I was pissed that the Elixir vs Wither battle was one page. I was hoping for some more

Well to be fair, Kyle and Yost did plan another storyline involving Wallflower but because Warren Ellis used  her in Astonishing X-Men; they had to make quite a few changes to the storyline. I know that this wouldn't save the storyline but it shows that maybe the story they had planned originally could not be delivered the way it was intended.

@BrandonChow: I had heard that but I'm not certain having her around would have made much difference.

@Violet-Eyed Dragon:

Blink was saved by X-Men.
