Peter Milligan's
brilliant story starts out with a bang and never lets up even to the last
page. His impressions on the cult of celebrity and how it manages to corrupt
even the most noble hero is sheer genius. Mike Allred's art has improved
ten-fold since Madman and Red Rocket, and that's saying a helluva lot.
The new X-Force seem to be
teetering between the forces of sheer greed and vanity against the old
school principles of valiant herodom. The age old dilemma: to stay true
to your ideals or sell out. The suicidal leader of the team is The Orphan,
who bears an intentional resemblance to Kurt Cobain. Standing between her
selfish desires for fame and fortune and her need to do the right thing
is U-Go Girl, who reluctantly develops a crush on The Orphan. Will she
be seduced by the sacred or by the profane? Read on. You won't be sorry.
