X-Force Special: Ain't No Dog

What's cool about X-Force Special: Aint No Dog?



A fly flying upwards?


It soon becomes apparent that this is a Wolverine story currently in progress, so to speak. A guy hanging from a chain with dead people around. Fairly normal for a Wolverine story...


I like how Logan is portrayed as quite, quite mad. The lengths he'll go to just to get his kicks... Cooler than the kids at school with their smoking.


The next cool bit is in the 'flashback' where Cyclops and Wolverine have a name-calling match. Despite Jean Grey being dead currently, they still dislike each other.


Next comes the sudden Mob, all baying for blood and quite possibly every other bodily fluid. Mobs are always cool.


Then, Wolverine is just hanging around quite unbothered by the masses of people below him. Because he's Wolverine.


And mobs are solved by doing something cool, for instance:


As so:


That's it for story one of the "Special", next up is a solo Warpath story. It's set-up nicely showing him having just mutilated a bunch of Purifiers, as seems to be X-Force's MO currently.


For some reason Warpath then goes hunting for a bear. He even states he can't be bothered to cook it and no mention is made of it causing anyone trouble. It's cool though, because he's fighting a BEAR!


But what is the coolest part of this comicbook?


The promise of more gory issues of X-Force, of course!

Though my main problem with this comic is the fact it actually did nothing more than give Warpath a tiny bit more character. And show that there are 5,000 Purifiers to every 3 Roman Catholics...
