Synopsis: Black Tom Cassidy kidnaps and blackmails some billionaire executives into freeing the Juggernaut from another dimension. Then X-Force and Spider-Man show up to get their asses kicked. Cable shoots Black Tom, Juggernaut loses his helmet, and Deadpool teleports the two baddies away.
Pros: Um, yeah...McFarlane's art is somewhat more detailed and slightly less disproportionate
Cons: Where do I start? Oh yeah, Rob Liefeld's art, Rob Liefeld's writing, Rob Liefeld was involved in this, two of the issues are sideways which actually kinda sucks
Mike Tells It Straight: Oh no he di-unt! Oh yes, I did...read this terrible affront to the world of comic-dom. Let's take a quick hot tub time-machine ride back to the early 90s for a minute (which is how long it took to read this story). Back when art eclipsed stories and a talent-less comic artist could rise to famedom (and land a Levi's commercial) on hype alone. Enter the bubble world of Rob Liefeld (and Todd McFarlane, although his bubble survived longer before bursting horribly along with the bloated action figure toy market in the late 90s). The writing is terrible and the plot makes no sense - at no point is it revealed what Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy are doing. They just take some hostages then get in a fight with X-Force and Spider-Man. They then escape and everyone leaves. Nothing of any real value happens here. Never read this story - promise me!
All Rob Liefeld haters and enthusiasts must read this article to truly understand: http://progressiveboink.com/archive/robliefeld.html
