One of the lesser known projects of Marvel writer, Sam Humphires, this is one of those books that sold out so fast, most people never got to even see them. I only became aware of Sacrifice at Stumptown a few years ago where Dalton's art caught my eye as I walked down the aisles. Staring me in the face was one of the coolest pieces of Dune fan art I'd ever seen and I thought, "Shit, I hope this guy makes comics and not just pin ups..." Luckily for all of us, he does make comics and they are freaking psychedelically awesome!! Aztecs. Blood. Death. Time travel. An unfortunate fool. All the makings of a fun romp through the mystical days of the ancients!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!!

UNCANNY X-FORCE #9

(W) Sam Humphries (A) Dalibor Talajic, Adrian Alphona

 • The Fantomex Love Pentagram explodes!
•  With the truth about their sordid past fully revealed, can Fantomex, Psylocke, and Cluster look each other in the eye?
•  Every psychic ninja needs a vicious animal with no impulse control and a short temper to back her up...right?
•  Puck! Man, does that guy love jerky. Especially buffalo and bison jerky, dipped in Canadian whiskey.
•  Plus: a terrifying surprise villain from the X-past is definitely playing chess, not checkers, across Los Angeles

Iinitially, I was completely disinterested in this new incarnation of X-Force, despite the bad-ass line up. I'll admit, it was the creative team that put me off as the only thing I knew about Humphries was 'Fanboys VS Zombies' which, well, y'know. Regardless, I finally sat down and read the first arc and let me be the first to say I was WRONG! This book is friggin' rad! Psylocke! Spiral! Fantomex x 3!!! All slicing and dicing and dancing and dealing drugs and having strange three ways with clones of themselves--this book just doesn't let up!! It's dumb, fun and filled beautiful women fighting each other. What more do you want?
