These 2 issues feature Spider-Man as a guest-star and aside from that, it also has something less done in American comics and that is to draw using horizontal slant instead of the more vertical style for the comicsAnd best of all, it features one of my all-time favourite tough guys, Juggernaut!
If you are looking for a story that is focused more on being a joy to read and entertaining, then this is the perfect story arc for you. If you are one of those who are looking for realism in the artwork or continuity in the storyflow, then please avoid this like the plague, okay? So no whiners here please
For me, this is awesome. We start with Juggernaut and his best bud, Black Tom (generally talks tough in most of his appearances but ultimately useless as all his planning are quite childish aside from a few genuine threats usually in earlier X-Men issues) trying to make a quick buck by taking over a tower filled with rich businessmen (see what we mean by no whiners? Because the storyline is ... meh!) ... so suspend your disbelief and get ready because X-Force comes a calling to take down Juggy and friend
Why?
Because it allows them the opportunity to pose and strut and spout off some macho bullshit and that just so WORKS here. Damn! It is so fun to read. So what if Juggs sometimes looks bigger than a house? Check out that cover for 3. This is comics. Exaggeration is fine if done right and Rob, the artist kicks so much ass here in the done right department. Hat off to you, sir!Anyway, aside from this fight, there is also a sideplot of Sunspot with his new bud/ mentor/ supposedly friend Gideon who belongs to an offshoot of humantiy called the Externals as they ... apparently have long lives and ... loves to keep ponytails (see Crule later on in this series). Hehehe!
Are there explosions galore? Heck, yes!
Are there lots of fist fighting and big guns? F***, yes!
So what more do you want, eh?
