This issue takes a step back to focus on the villains and her hierarchy for this issue. Not only do we get to see Selene explain her plan (between the beginning of this issue and the end of 21) but we are allowed a glimpse of the characters she has surrounded herself with once again. More importantly we the readers learn that in order for Selene to rise to “Goddess” status she needs a certain ancient blade in order to ascend to this form. Unfortunately for her (and many evildoers’ plans) her always incompetent lackey Eli Bard failed her yet again by losing the blade to the grasp or Warpath.The only complaint to be had with this issue is that it is all over the place; it seems that we still can’t close out the Wolfsbane love affair. Unfortunately for fans of the character we come to find out in this issue that Rahne is pregnant with the wolf princes’s baby and that the pregnancy is actually killing her. The readers receive a very interesting foreshadowing as Krimhari summons Hela (Queen of the Asguardian underworld) for an audience.While there has been a good pace for most of the Necrosha arc, I feel that this issue was a step backwards. On an entertainment level it was pretty good and if you’re an X-force fan you’ll enjoy this. If you’re a new fan trying to break into the series read some older issues first before jumping into this one. I really like the direction Necrosha’s going and would like to see the consequences of Selene becoming a Goddess and wreaking havoc on the Marvel Universe.
