YMMV / X-Force (2008)

• Crosses the Line Twice: Elixir, a much kinder and more peace-loving member of the team, gives Vanisher a fatal brain tumour? Harsh and a little bit depressing. The revelation that he made it the shape of the X-Men logo? Hilarious.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Rahne's new, more bestial werewolf form is unsettling at best, but after she's kidnapped and brainwashed by The Purifiers, she rips off Angel's wings, then ends up killing and eating her father (though that son of a bitch really deserves it for what he did to Rahne in the first place).
  • Archangel going Ax-Crazy and killing most of the "Choir" that had wings grown from his and then falling insensate on a pile of corpses.
  • Kimura slowly slicing off X-23's arm with an electric saw.
• So Okay, It's Average: The X-Force/Cable crossover Messiah War is generally viewed this way, though of course some enjoy it more than others.
• Tear Jerker: X-23's dismissal from X-Force at the end of Second Coming. First, her immediate thought is that Wolverine is punishing her. Second, Laura's entire life up to that point had been defined by having someone to issue her orders — to the point that Wolverine notes early in the series that he suspects Laura was incapable of recognizing Cyclops's invitation as a choice and not a command. She is completely and utterly lost at the thought of having to find her own way, to the point that she is pleading and begging Logan to give her an order to follow. It's utterly heartbreaking to see her facade of strength crack and break down, and is a painful reminder just how truly damaged she is.
