In the wake of the assassinations of REDACTED, X-Force goes on the offensive to track down who might have been behind it. What they find is something… well, pretty gross! Join me as we take a trip to a most peculiar South Korean Printing Press.
Also: Conflicts between logic and faith in a universe as extraordinary as the one we’re reading about, more threats of discussing the Alan Moore Captain Britain, more feedback on the Uncanny Lives of Moira X… and much more!

And we come to the first DOX issue I have read solely to follow along with X-Lapsed. I know your biggest fear is a X-Men reboot but reading this one I wish we could reboot Beast. I know he's in character but I want him to be the happy go lucky guy from the Avengers and early X-Factor.
You're right that Kid Omega is the best thing in the issue, but this really isn't enough to make up for all the gory body horror.
I was particularly surprised that Xavier hasn't been resurrected yet. I just presumed he'd be walking around again before the credits.
I really don't recall his death being mentioned much in the books I kept reading. It's odd that only Kitty Pryde has been shown reacting. Maybe I skimmed over those scenes.
I suppose I need to go and read Fallen Angels number 2 now. The things I put myself through to keep up with X-Lapsed.
