Era #7, Part 23: X-Force #52-56

Grade: B

X-Force continues to live up to their original mission of taking the battle to the enemy. Jeph Loeb has the right amount of 20-something drama mixed with a military squad mentality. The team takes on the Blob, the Externals, and S.H.I.E.L.D.! We also get to see a little more Deadpool while learning a little more about Shatterstar.

[3-Stars] 52 - "Bad Girls" Siryn, Domino, and Meltdown investigate another facility cleaned out by the mysterious Onslaught. They find the Blob standing guard.

[3-Stars] 53 - "Even An X-Ternal Can Die!" X-Force look for answers from the Gideon, but he is already dead when they arrive. The rest of the Externals arrive and believe X-Force is to blame.

[3-Stars] 54 - "Q & A" The NYPD interrogates each member of X-Force in an effort to learn what happened during their battle against the Externals.

[4-Stars] 55 - "Without a Net" X-Force is on a mission to infiltrate the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier to rescue a mutant prisoner.

[3-Stars] 56 - "Crazy for You" Siryn suddenly remembers that she left Deadpool Weisman Institute. During the rescue attempt, Shatterstar finds a medical record that suggests he is actually a mutant from Earth and not an alien gladiator from the Mojoverse.
