The road to Necrosha continues in this week’s X-force 19. Agent Morales is now confronted with what X-23 really is and who it is she’s really working for. The issue is mostly dialogue, with action sprinkled in; however (unlike some X-books *cough*) the dialogue is full of character development and progresses the story. Domino holds a gun to a Stepford Cuckoo’s head, Rahne battles the Frost Giants, and a new member of Selene’s inner circle is resurrected (wink). As most fan girls know there has been a long drawn out pseudo-courtship occurring between Julian Keller (Hellion) and Laura Kinney(X-23), which is finally partially addressed from Julian’s point of view. Choi’s brilliant artwork combined with C&C’s characterization make me give this book an 4 out of 5. The only reason it’s not 5 out of 5 is because there needs to be more action and more blood splattered across the pages of the book. But well worth the read, and well worth the money spent.
