Dark & grim, with time travel thrown in for good measure.
What's not to love?!
It was basically one long ass-beating after another for the members of the X-Force in Final Execution. And to top it off, someone dies...
Well, it's a comic book death, so take it with a grain of salt.
The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (they're not sure they're keeping that name) have set their sights on Genesis. If they can train Kid Apocalypse in their eeevil ways, then they will be able to DESTROY THE WORLD!
'n stuff...
Meanwhile, Betsy & Fantomex have left the team, and both ore on journeys of self discovery. Until the bad guys come to assassinate them, anyway.
Then, you know, they've gotta fight for their lives.
Meanwhile-meanwhile, Wolverine, Deadpool, & (Age of Apocalypse) Nightcrawler are getting ready to walk into a trap set by Logan's son, Daken.
{spoilery stuff that leads to time-travel happens here}
The team learns that REDACTED INFORMATION, and that the only way to stop it is to REDACTED INFORMATION!
Which is why you'll see Deadpool doing this to Frank Castle:
And also why you'll see Wrinkly Psylocke kissing a Old Man Logan.
Even though nothing about the story should have worked, somehow it just did. I've had my ups and downs with this title, but this volume was a winner for me.

All good things must end and this book collects the first part of what is Rick Remender's final storyline on the title he launched with Jerome Opena.
I have written a much lengthy composition on the overall storyline and series. This is what I wrote for this first part of Final Execution:
The sins of Uncanny X-Force’s past adventures have come back to haunt them. Final Execution is divided in to two parts. The first part is the newly reformed Brotherhood of Evil Mutants' blitzkrieg against X-Force, destroying their headquarters and killing three of their number while marooning them in an alternate future.
The future arc has the world taken over by X-Force and its pre-emptive murder prevention policy, which simply put is to kill the killer before the killer kills. The future is basically a police state patrolled by X-Force and its agents. It arose from the consequences of their actions in the past and a responsibility Wolverine has not quite fulfilled.
Read originally as individual digital comics on the Marvel Comics app.

And we hit back after volume 5 to another amazing volume. Loving this series.
September 6, 2015
thank god that this volume was a return to form for Rick Remender after Otherworld which I didn't like very much, it was very mediocre. well Final Execution picks up where volume.4 left off in pace and intensity I love that it reminded me why I love this series. if I could find one flaw of this title it's that I don't feel that dark comedy anymore like I saw in the first 3, 3 and half volumes. but other then that this book is almost perfect and very original I would say definitely check this one out

Pretty brutal and melancholic - not much of the humour here, nor even sardonic snark. It's just punishment heaped upon ruination, where our team of merry assassins are being visited by the Ghosts of X-battles Past. That's the first couple of chapters while we get to the even better part.
Remender sure doesn't like to make life easy for the team. I mean, I know that great writing takes interesting characters and throws them curve ball after challenge to see how they pull it off. Remender seems like a guy who's got this tattooed to the back of his eyelids, he takes it so seriously. Not one of the storylines we've seen so far is a run-of-the-mill distraction for the heroes - it's all psyche-destroying, lifestyle-upending - and while I love it, it's sometimes a chore to wade through the next story. I find I have to pay attention every time, as Remender and the artists drop little asides that later tell us everything that going on. Or maybe I'm just getting senile.
And when Remender jumps up the stakes and takes us to another level, I remembered why I go along for the ride. The threat in the later chapters is awesome, and Wade's multi-faceted and entertaining personality once again shines through.
Great cliffhanger ending and a nice little unintelligible aside between two key characters - what did he say? When will we find out (if ever)? And how will Remender divert this speeding express train of hurtling destruction from the impending cliff wall?
Noto's art is clean and pure and emotionally low, but the Tedesco art we get for the insanity is evocative, kinetic and emotionally thick with layers of meaning. And lest we overlook: Ponsor as colourist for Tedesco's art is nearly as good as Hollingsworth, it's so restrained and has so much pop. This. Is. Awesome.

This final storyline for Remender's X-Force is off to a good start. The first three issues establish our new villains nicely, and take apart X-Force so that they can put themselves back together again. A shocking death is included too, just because Remender went to the Joss Whedon School.for murdering characters.
The latter two issues stall the momentum a bit however, which is what prevents this volume hitting the five stars that The Dark Angel Saga received. It's an unnecessary jump to the future, and even if it fleshes out Wolverine and Psylocke's moral dilemmas, it derails everything that we'd already gotten invested in from the first three issues.
The art is excellent, with contributions from Mike McKone, the always wonderful Phil Noto, and up and coming new star Julian Totino Tedasco. Tedasco's work is sketchier compared to Noto and McKone's clean lines, but fits the dystopic future quite well.
The groundwork has been laid, and hopefully any lost story pacing can be recovered in time for the final volume's conclusion to this superb run of comics.

Uncanny X-Force, Volume 6: Final Execution, Book 1 kicks off straight after the previous book with Fantomex facing Captains Britain's justice and Psylocke trying to get him off the hook! :D To top if off Evil Mutants are up to no good in the neighbourhood! :D The storyline throws in time travel as well and we get to see a different future than then one we would expect that is like Minority report but taken to the extreme! :D
This gives us a great glimpse into a possible future with developments that yo would really not expect! :D Noto, Remender, Totino et al really got to town with the script and the art! :D The future are of course ages our character up and the team does a great job of showing this ageing! :D At the same time the characters themselves are aged in their experiences and the script is merciless in showing the differences! :D
Uncanny X-Force, Volume 6: Final Execution, Book 1 comes out of the start racing Bub and carries on from there! :D Uncanny X-Force, Volume 6: Final Execution, Book 1 delivers in every way! :D Both in answering past plot points as well as setting up new plots! :D Uncanny X-Force, Volume 6: Final Execution, Book 1 is full of adventure, humour, heroics, world building, character developments (all versions of characters! :D ) and is action packed throughout! :D Brilliant and highly recommended! :D Go and Get! :D Go get the next one! :D

Your standard Uncanny X-Force book: great writing by Rick Remender, fantastic art by yet another bunch of artists, big stakes, character growth for the individual team members, and the obligatory trip to a future/alternate timeline. Which is not to down play the book's awesomeness, but there are only so many ways I can gush about this series, y'know?
Also, things seem to be unravelling for X-Force, as a new (and actually fearsome) Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, specially assembled to deal with this particular iteration of the team roster, is out to utterly destroy them. This new Brotherhood kidnaps Genesis and reveal to him that everything he's learned so far has been a lie, hoping to turn him to the "Dark Side". Lot of things happening here . Will X-Force be able to thwart their dastardly plans?
The story (and Remender's run on this series) concludes in Uncanny X-Force: Final Execution, Book 2.

The final issue of Rick Remender's classic take on X-Force hit the shelves today. I can say I'm a little bit sick and sad now that the end is here, and anxious to see how the master of comic book fabulism wraps up the series.
With all of the fumbles and missteps Marvel has made over the last 2 years or so, UXF is like an island of refuge for readers. This far we haven't seen a single 'tie-in' issue an the series has stood on its own for the entire run. It refused to be a part of AVX and hardly ever made mention of the continuity swirling around it in other books. Instead, Remender just kept going head-on, plowing trough each issue and making a name for himself by making these stories matter in and of themselves. Bravo, man. This is your masterwork under the Marvel Banner. And even though you're bringing back Armin Zola in the Cap'n book, you're never going to top this. It's just too damn good.
Years from now, I can see this entire collected run being compared to other seminal works of graphic novel greatness. For its entire run, nothing Marvel had matched it. UXF is the undisputed heavyweight champ, no doubt.

Continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...
(reviewing volumes 6 and 7 together...)
Wow. I am impressed by how Remender took us on this long dark journey with these characters and didn't pull punches. By the end game here, the reader feels as lost as the characters, I think. Everything is a mess of twisted awful moral choices that lead nowhere... And all of it was set up from the very beginning. Not many comics authors can manage payoffs like this.
It is bleak, bleak. Not the kind of book that I would want every x-title to be but this is a great series for sure.

Perusing the shelves at the library, I came across this X-Men comic book. I used to love the X-Men as a kid. The trouble with comic books is that there are so many and unless you make a serious effort to read them in chronological order, you’re dropped in the middle of a story you only understand bits of. This is book one of the series, but there’s still back story I’m missing.

Another great volume with more solid character work on Psylocke. Wonderful team dynamics, if by "team dynamics" you mean "messy, torn-apart relationships." Easy to see why this was considered by many as Marvel's best series at the time of its publication.
January 27, 2015
Much better plotting than previous volumes. It deals with basically the same set of issues all over again, but better and with more nuances. (I deeply resent the fact that Betsy is never capable of existing without a boyfriend/sex partner, though.)
March 8, 2021
I am so tired of this series going nowhere. Well to be fair - this time they went to the future where...The X-Force rule everything (really? they can barely go to the bathroom without getting killed) and they stop crimes before they happen! (like Minority Report without the...no it's exactly like Minority report) Remender is saying "this is what happened when you take X-Force too far and try to stop crime before it happens". But Wolverine was never going to do that - he just wanted to stop Apocalypse - a mutant who proved he could end the world. He wasn't saying "do that to everyone" just "do that to people going to destroy the world". Am I supposed to think that is unreasonable?
So this volume they fight their future selves. Psylocke tries to stop the future by killing herself...but fails. So...we will end up in this horrible future where "murderers are not allowed to murder people"!!! Oh no!! Whatever will we do? I mean - I feel if the colorist would just color the skies light blue instead of dark purple we wouldn't think "what a horrible future" we would think "what a nice future". So I blame the colorist.
Kidding aside - this series let me down. The messages of the author are contradictory. We should stop evil before it begins...no we shouldn't!! When REAL the answer is in the middle - we should do our best to stop bad things before they start but maybe not all bad things - like - if someone is planning to shoplift a candy bar - don't kill him. But if someone will eventually destroy the Earth..yeah - kill that guy.
Anyhoo. I do not like Rick Remender's writing. It is dark and depressing and his "heroes" spend most of their time fighting future selves or dimensional alternatives or teammates gone bad. And he never has a clear idea where he wants to go with his stories other than "torture our heroes as much as possible with disease or injury or them stabbing themselves".

The culmination of Remender's X-Force starts here.
AFter the many events of the past few volumes, the team is hit yet again. And this time by - the brotherhood of evil mutants? Well, yeah kinda... It is that team but with a few new members. Most notably Sabertooth, Daken, and the Shadowking himself, Amahl Farouk. They begin to take down each member of the X-Force team one by one - with a calculated precision that let's Wolverine know, that they are dealing with people who know them and have a personal angle to the attack.
This was a great start to the last storyline, and Remender really is in great form at this point. And while Opena is no longer on the book, we still get some fantastic art by the likes of Phil Noto, Mike McKone, and an early days Julian Tadesco. So the book looks damn good.
The book stops midway through the story, after a brief side story in the future, so the next one will wrap things up for not only this story, but the series as well!

Rick Remender was cruising along with a very good X-Men faction vs faction book and then we get a time jump or reality jump. I wasn't exactly sure but with all of those that this book has endured, another was not a good idea. I love the idea of another Brotherhood forming up. I'm not sure I buy all of these members at this point in their lives and the Skinless Man doesn't appeal to me. He seems like he's there as a sight gag. There were some definite shocks along the way and I'm not sure if the next volume undoes them or not but they worked in the short term. The art needed to be tighter but wasn't bad. Overall, the book could have been amazing but settled for above average.
February 12, 2022
Well, i'm relieved! This run is so good, was really sad what i've got from volume 5, but, in this one, series got back on track.
The Brotherhood of Evil is back, with a new formation, trying to get his hands on Genesis and knowing what are the new X-Force and what they did. And, in between, we got another time travel story (yeah, i know) but, even being with a really used and abused kind of plot, it was well developed, with a great pen on the pages. We kind of see on this one why the colourist is so important for a comic book. And i just loved (again) Betsy roll on this one. What a great hero/anti hero. Can't wait for the end of it.

The aftermath of the Otherworld adventure continues to be felt in this book, particularly for Psylocke and Fantomex (and whatever that was). We have baddies going after X-Force properly because killing bad guys has gone unnoticed (or at least unaddressed) for too long.
The big setup for this book involves...a dystopian future defined around X-Force principles. As if things hadn't been dark enough in the Age of Apocalypse reality, now we get a facist-controlled Earth ruled by X-Force. It's kind of a bonkers idea but it makes sense given where Remender has taken the story thus far.
This is only part 1! More stuff to follow.

4.25/5
Oh, this was really good. Seeing the X-Force fall apart and trying to save what little they can is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Each member in the face of utter despair has to wrestle with their morals and realize what they actually hold dear in their lives. Remender really knows how to write really complex and flawed characters.
The art by Noto, Tedesco, and McKone all delivered on their own right. McKone and Noto's clean and dynamic art style was captivating, while Tedesco's bold and gritty lines were perfect for the grim chapters at the end of this book. Dean White on colors always amazes.
I can't wait to see how this entire saga ends.

I found the previous volume a little laborious to get through compared to the other volumes so a return to the main arc was very much appreciated. There’s a lot of moving parts is this story; a tad convoluted at times, but I imagine most of this is mainly set up for what I assume to be concluded in the final volume. I’m still very on the fence with the whole Jean-Pierre and Betty arc especially when they constantly bring up Warren. However, I did very much enjoy seeing how the Apocalypse story line has furthered and look for to seeing that come to a head in the final volume.

This was flat
This was a book that needed a better artist. The art and the story did not work well together. Parts of this book looked like a child did some coloring in the pages. The story seemed interesting at first but than in the middle it takes a u-turn that just doesn't work. This is the fourth X-Force I've read where they go one place and end up in another dimension. Than they have to try and save that world to somehow save their own.

Marvel brings back the better artists to rescue what had to be an exodus of buyers after that last series. The story picks up the pace too. This trade felt a little rushed but still very enjoyable. Deadpool keeps growing as a hero in this team. He is brilliant and one of the highlights of Remender's work.

We get a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in this one, plus X-Force journeys into yet another dystopian future that it seems like was caused by...themselves.
I think the time travel/dystopian future thing is overdone, but otherwise this isn't bad and sets up the final volume well. I did like the early art on the series better, but it's still pretty good.

Decent. I actually really liked the first half of this trade a lot. But I’m really tired of the countless time jumping in every single story. It’s kind of grown stale for me at this point.
That being said it seems like it’s built up to a really great finale other than that.

If it weren’t for the uneven art quality this would have been perfect. I’m not the biggest Psylocke fan (unpopular opinion, I know) But this arc really made me care for her deeply as a character. I’m really excited to see how they end this.

This was a really good read. We have time travel, deaths, and more great writing from Remender. The art returns to a better form in this volume as well. We are gearing up for the conclusion to the series and it is looking to go out with a bang!

an improvement on the bad last volume, pre emptive policing in grim dark time travel adventure. Psylocke the standout. I still by far prefer the original x force team of wolverine, x23, warpath, domino, vanisher and archangel. some of this stuff/characters are too convoluted.

It's nice to see these characters back from Otherworld and in a place I mostly understand. This story mostly serves as a set-up though, and leaves you on a cliffhanger for Book 2.

I wasn’t really into in the first 2 issues but by the end i loved it. I live how insane everything gets and cant wait to read the final volume.

Remender's dialogue sucks. Everyone sounds the same, and not like themselves.
Other than that, and the clearly rushed #28 and #29, this was quite good.
