The current Uncanny X-Force story arch, Otherworld..
...is not that good.
I am not enjoying this Otherworld story arch at all. I find I have to really power through to get to the end.

Agreed. It's such an old concept - some off worlders kidnap our hero and try him for crimes against civilization. Yawn. I mean how many times have we seem this anyhow?
The coolest thing about this arc is finding out this is the only time stream where Fantomex exists. That's very very interesting. I'd like to see other stories developed around this idea

Yeah I know what you're all talking about. I really had to push myself to get through the last two issues of X-Force. Which is a shame because this book is usually at the top of my pile of books to read. Now between this new weak storyline with bad art and what Remender did to Archangel and Apocalypse at the end of the Dark Angel saga, the book has gone to almost the bottom of my pile where I'm considering just dropping it.
Hope the book turns around quickly....

I think after the EPIC Dark Angel Saga we needed a 'break' to charge batteries for the next thing:

I confess that I am not familiar with the Britain Corps but for me the hook of this story is Fantomex and the Braddock clan stuff.
And about the art, I don't think it's SO bad but it's the fact that we get used to see the FANTASTIC art of Opeña and the great Ribic, even Tan(which I don't like his style too much) did a good job.
This is my favorite Xtory/run since the Astonishing of Whedon & Cassaday.

I'm pretty disappointed with the current story arc as well. It's surprising they would take the story there after the awesome Dark Argel saga, as some of you have mentioned. Also, since this is such a popular book the art should be better. I hope it turns around. The link you provided THECLOWN KNIGHT might mean that it will, but it could also mean the opposite. I hope Deathlok is dropped from the series though. Why he was ever included baffles me.
