I’ve always been fascinated by stories that deal with the dark reality behind a utopian world. That’s one reason why Deep Space Nine has always been my favorite Star Trek spinoff. High-minded ideals and peaceful coexistence are great and all, but what happens when those ideals are put to the ultimate test? How much can one compromise those ideals before the whole thing collapses in on itself like a house of cards? The best iterations of the X-Force franchise have centered directly around those questions. They explore the dark reality beneath Charles Xavier’s dream of human/mutant coexistence and those mutants who kill so others don’t have to. And that’s the mission statement of this latest volume of X-Force, another promising addition to the Dawn of X line.
