"No, Because Democracy is weakness."
Said every Arab leader ever.

Well, looks like they listened to me regarding Colossus lol
With this operation done, I think Domino should have her luck back now which is awesome, and with her death she should have her old looks back which is even greater.

Here is a thought about Mutants reproduction, what happens if they get human children?! Is it even possible? But really what happens if they get human children, there is no place for humans on Krakoa, will you kick the parents out with the baby? Will you kick the baby only? Doesn't that make you racist?
Is there a detail I am missing???

Continua il dualismo tra Domino e Colosso.
Entrambi con un grosso trauma dovuto a quanto subito in missione, entrambi assediati dai fantasmi di quanto accaduto. Incapaci di trovare pace e riposo, perfino di dormire.

Ma mentre Domino reagisce con rabbia, evitando di stare ferma per correre più veloce dei pensieri, intenta a riprendersi ciò che è suo e a eliminare ciò che il nemico sta facendo con il suo dna e con i pezzi che le ha asportato, Colosso è immobile, paralizzato. Dipinge in riva al lago, sta da solo, non esce dall'isola.

E così è Domino a trascinarlo in missione, a caccia del laboratorio che crea i soldati equipaggiati con il suo codice genetico. Bello quando lei dice che, se non può essere certa della sua fortuna, la seconda cosa migliore è avere al fianco un grande e gentile bulldozer.
Ora comunque avremo un nuovo leader per gli avversari, chissà come cambierà la loro strategia.

E soprattutto, Colosso manterrà la parola o avremo una Domino senza ricordi di quanto subito, del dolore e delle torture?
Di certo, vedere Colosso che -pur sapendo della squadra rigenerativa- contempla con serenità la possibilità di suicidarsi, offrendo anzi a Domino di portarla con sé per poi rinascere senza il ricordo del dolore, è stato un bel pugno allo stomaco. Oltre a una possibile evoluzione da brividi di questa immortalità Krakoana.

Meh..

Continues to be far and away one of the strongest titles and interesting to see it following up on the ressurection discussions began in X-Men 7 and how it may help with feelings and pain.

I've really enjoyed the Colossus and Domino relationship and hope it doesn't get cast aside now that their particular tale seems pretty nearly finished.

Seeing the emotion behind the action has been a refreshing change.

This series is failing me... Not that it's very bad, but for personal reason. It isn't much about X-Force now, but only and always about Domino, which isn't a great character for me. I hope the true X-Force might come back because if it continue to be Domino only... well I'll probably be out of it in an issue or two!

4.5 stars. Loves me some Domino. Glad to see her getting some action. Her and Colossus team up to take down another facility making soldiers out of Dominos DNA. How Sage found the place was cool also. Really digging Percys imagination on this run and glad he is the one writing Wolverine.

Woah.
Great Domino story! Colossus feels kinda tacked on to me but the train sequence made that worthwhile. I missed Black Tom this issue! Bro-Forge is still a thing and it's still annoying me.

Consistently quality

Domino!! Last year I didn't even know who she was, and today she's already one of my favorite mutants.

She really breaks my heart in this issue. Her final request to Peter… wow. Only a strong person would ask for that.

Domino fights and appears to have mortally wounded her look alike that was created with her DNA.. Domino says that some of her luck is returning after killing her because she found a 4 leaf clover, so Sage is able to locate areas where a bunch of four lead clovers are bunched up, which happens to be in Russia.

Domino takes Colossus on the mission to stop these domino clones from being created. Xeno has moved their lab into moving trains, thinking they would be harder to track. Colossus destroys the train, and Domino along with it. She makes him promise to restore her memory of all the pain she’s been through, and he promises

Xeno is in a crisis after the destruction of the train and their labs. A mysterious figure in the crowd is noticeably upset and demands answers

A great wrap up to Domino's story, and a nice start for Colossus 's.

Wow. This book just keeps getting better. Piotr returned to the field and they put a stop to this harvesting for now. Krakoa is being tested.

Not quite as good as the previous, but propelling the story forward. The train sequence was cool and creepy. I'm liking Colossus and Domino working together.
