X-Force #9

I continue to be surprised by how well this book's story is crafted, especially since there is more touched on here than can possibly be wrapped up next issue in terms of sub-plots.  It's clear that the writers have a long term plan, and making that apparent is something I find comforting.  I also greatly approve of the addition of Domino, as her voice adds a lot of gravity to exactly how deadly the members of X-Force are, and she reminds us how seriously we should take them.  Plus, she lightens the tone just enough, and it doesn't hurt that I've been a fan of hers since Cable and Deadpool.  I was very surprised to see Ghost Rider in this, but hey... it's a party.  I can't help but think, again, I would like the Legacy Virus thing if it wasn't also used in the Secret Invasion X-Men mini, especially since it seems to be deadly here and curable there.  I'm willing to look past any possible discrepancies, because this is a great book in terms of everything else, with stunning art to boot.
