The Story: (hide) Genocide has incinerated half of Wolverine’s body, leaving only two remaining members of X-Force to defeat Archangel and his army. Someone has wiped out a small town in Northern Montana and in its place a new alien landscape has grown. What is Tabula Rasa? Can Fantomex and Deadpool work together to survive its harsh terrains long enough to unlock its mystery? The acclaimed team of Rick Remender (Venom, Punisher), Jerome Opeña (Punisher, Moon Knight) and Dean White (Avengers) return to introduce you to the strangest territory in the Marvel Universe.

I bought this at Alakazam.

I read it at home on a Sunday.

I am loving this story–I like Angle transformed. I like the pacing–everything about it just feels right. Rick is a total stud playing a very smooth hand.

I just hope that much of what he is doing here trickles into the other X-Books which seem to be struggling so badly right now.
