X goes up against some white supremacists this time. I found it interesting that Swierczynski borrowed the villain from an old Dark Horse comic called The Mark that even predates the Dark Horse Heroes era. Duane Swierczynski keeps the stories a pretty simple mix of noir and action.

I really don't know why I'm still reading this? Maybe just to see it through to the end? Nothing ever changes, no one ever grows, there's no backstory, just nothing.

Deathwish almost gets his death wish in this atory arc. X actually kills him, then brings him back to life and breaks all his limbs. You don't see that in regular comics.
Meanwhile, the FBI raided X's hideout with Leigh's help and a new aryan-looking gang with members having some kind of superpowers started moving in on the town. Their new gang's leader, also called the Archon, is superhuman (superstrength, superspeed, body stronger than armor and fast regenerative abilities) and quickly defeats X. The volume ends in a cliffhanger.

The series is full on going off the rails. Nothing makes sense. Cliches are piling up. The main character wants to save the city but no idea why or who he is. Its not a mystery and more of an annoyance at this point. Overall, this book is pretty bad.
