"This is one of the best Marvel titles in some time.
Explored are themes of thought-crime, preemptive punishment, and the idea of who defines justice. In a market saturated by Wolverine at every turn, Remender manages to make the character compelling once again. In addition, this is the perfect book for Deadpool. While every other character deals with the weighty moral repercussions of their actions, Wade Wilson's trademark humor provides levity in just the right way. At the same time, the Deadpool's serious moments are some of the most poignant ever given to the character.
This is a dark book, and violence abounds. If this isn't a concern, though, I cannot recommend this book enough."

- 3.5 stars
Good, though not nearly as strong as volume 1. Part of the difference is the art - lots of artists on this with varying styles and abilities cause the stories to feel a bit jerky.
There are two major arcs Otherworld (5 or 6 issues) and the Brotherhood (10+ issues). Lots of dimension hoping and some time travel (I find the Marvel/DC overuse of dimension/time travel to usually signal that the story is weak; and the gimmick of older/different versions of a famous character is used to prop up a poor plot). Brotherhood has a mini-arc within it where X-Force travels into the future (it is a bit derivative of New Mutants 48-49 from 1987).
Throughout all of this is a debate over killing. Is killing to save others ok? Is killing to prevent death ok? The ramifications of the murder of young Apocalypse from the first trade come up here several times. Remender definitely has a view on this and presents it (and he does a nice job at times, though it feels occasionally preachy). It is a good use of the comic medium.
Deadpool is handled brilliantly. - This is my review for Uncanny X-Force vol 2 by Rick Remender
This is the second volume for the Remender run on X-Force. If you haven't read volume 1 you will probably be very lost reading this. I highly recommend this entire serious as it is one of my favorites. Great characters being put through some really rough stuff. Not really appropriate for children as there are some serious adult topics discussed/shown such as a members face being peeled off.
If you are not a huge comic book fan then some of these characters might not be familiar, but I think everything is explained well enough for you to still enjoy it and fill in the gaps as it goes along. - Tremendous analysis of what it takes to be a killer in the name of good. Remender's dialogue and characters are the biggest draws. After coming back from the horrifying events of the "Dark Angel" saga, the X-Force is faced with consequences from their prior exploits, including judgment at the hands of the Captain Britain Corps, a look into their own dark future, and an organized attack from Wolverine's worst enemies. And in the background, the child-clone of Apocalypse must decide whether to embrace or reject his dark heritage. A couple of short stories by Remender round out the collection, including one hilarious Deadpool short that is much-needed comic relief at the end of a dark and often bleak-beyond-words series.
- I was excited about the idea of an "assasin" X-men, but the story is a bit boring, because Apocalypse is always in the center of it.The most disappointing part was the unlimited mutiliation of practicly everyone.(no,not mutation)Also everyone dies then resurrects all the time...
- Remender's X-Force is one of my favorite mainstream books in a long time, and quite possibly my favorite X-book ever.
The situations are inventive and thrilling, it makes great use of continuity without becoming mired in it, all of the regular characters receive satisfying arcs...I could go on and on. The only negative is that the art could be more consistent, but that's the nature of serialized comics that come out on schedule.
Another amazing thing about the run is that much of the drama spins out from the first two stories, so be sure to read it from the beginning to get the full measure of its greatness. - I LOOOOVED this series! Rick Remenderdoes a fantastic job writing all the characters in the story I can't really pick a favorite but Deadpool really shines in this series. Reminder uses him as comic relief yes, but Reminder gives him some incredible characterizing moments and not just being Zany either. More highlights include Archangel who is totally awesome. And a look at some of the alternate characters from age of apocalypse. Also Rick creates some totally original horsemen that are really great for the story. The only things I didn't like was the fact that deadpool wasn't given his own arc (which isn't Ricks Reminders fault) and some of the art in a couple issues isn't on par with the writing.

This is a dark book, and violence abounds. If this isn't a concern, though, I cannot recommend this book enough. - Better than Volume 1. But you need to read Volume 1 to understand Volume 2. Didn't care for the first story, but farther I read the more and more I liked the book. The struggle of each member of the team to deal with their actions is well written. I love Nightcrawler, but hate his portrayal here.
