I just finished reading Angels & Demons, the trade paperback collecting the first six issues of the new X-Force series, and it was a fun read. The story by Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost is well written, and even though it's nothing to write home about, it is entertaining and outrageously violent. The concept: the best trackers and killers from the X-Men files become a covert-ops team that goes where no self-respecting X-Man would go. And, of course, they all wear gray and black uniforms. Fun, right?I bought this collection because of Clayton Crain's artwork, which is spectacular (just look at the cover). I had already enjoyed his illustrations in the Spiderman: Venom vs. Carnage trade, and he delivers more of his amazing artwork here. Plus, his rendition of X-23 and especially Wolverine are phenomenal!
I thought it was unfortunate Crain didn't illustrate the second story arc (the trade comes out in May), but then I found out the artist was Mike Choi, another great artist, so it looks like I'll be back for a second helping. Who would have thought there'd come a day in which I'd be looking forward to reading X-Force again?

Brutales las dos portadas, la de lobezno, el lobo y la tipa que le falta la garra del medio esta muy pero que muy bien, pero a mi ya no me enganchan estos comics.
Con el principe valiente, ya tengo más que suficiente.
"El lobo" es Wolfsbane (Loba Venenosa), y la "tipa de las dos garras" es X-23. Todo el comic es como la portada, así que, visualmente, es una delicia.
Bueno pues cuando este de vista por los USA tendria que ir como poco dos meses, uno para leer tanto comic chulo y otro para ver el pais.
Vale :)
