    Horsemen Revealed

    THE GOOD

    I loved how they introduced the origins of the final horsemen. It was very well done and added a lot of great background for the story and characters. The reveal of how this information was being displayed was haunting. It had a very Matrix or Source Code feel to it.

    I enjoyed how powerful each of the horsemen was portrayed. Most of them were not actually as powerful as they appeared, but I was sold by what I saw on the pages as the story unfolded - regardless of how much misdirection was used. It is a wild ride of an issue.

    THE BAD

    Possibly too much misdirection? I am all for the heroes surviving, but sometimes I get investing in what is on the page, only to see it was all a ruse. Not a big deal, since it is Fantomex's power. It is not like I complain every time I read the word, "SNIKT". ;)

    THE VERDICT

    Highly Recommended! There is absolutely no reason not to read this issue. It is a perfect portion of the greater story arc and series as a whole. Again, I would actually recommend picking up the trade of this arc. It will give you the chance to read each individual issue as it was meant to be read, as part of the four part story.

The Horsemen are ruthless and show they are the perfect opponents for the hardcore, don't hold back,  X-Force team.  Remender continues the extreme action we saw in t...

      This issue deals with the ongoing struggle of the heroes on the moon to swing the momentum back on Apocalypse's Horsemen who handled them so easily the previous issue.  This starts out with an introduction to the past of all the members of the Horseman before the heroes start to struggle against them again.  Really this in a sense sort of inverted the whole story here as the background stories were a lot more compelling than most of what followed.  Some of this follow-on story was decent, but ot...
