Uncanny X-Force #23

Chapter four of the "Otherworld" arc finds X-Force in a brooding, castle-shadowed landscape, and Leinil Francis Yu's cover captures the team at a striking moment of uneasy assembly. A blue-skinned figure slumps at center, flanked by a towering armored warrior in red and blue, a masked figure in dark tactical gear, and a red-costumed woman crouching with quiet intensity — while a blonde woman in green and a grey-suited figure linger at the edges, the whole group watched over by a glowing orb floating above them. Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini's 2012 run continues to deliver a team that feels genuinely dangerous and morally complicated, and this issue looks like a rewarding chapter for anyone following along.
