This fight’s going better for X-Force than it did last time, I think it’s safe to say! Though, it’s when you think you’re doing your best, that’s when the universe sneaks up behind you and pulls the rug out from under your feet!
I rather like how the first two images came out, with Beast’s battle cry, and subsequent derailing by Klaw from off-panel. Beast’s a character I’ve always adored – thanks primarily to the X-Men animated series, and George Buza’s unbeatable vocal performance – and I’ve been trying my best to do right by him, every time I’ve pulled him into my comic. He deserves better than being stuck behind his desk all day, and honestly, if he does get out from it and into the field from time to time, it might make him even more despondent when he has to go back to his Stark HR work. That’ll offer up further opportunities for his bleak coping humor!
