“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more.

Nice preview.
But I'm a little worried about this book. The sales for the last issue were very low; it is almost selling LESS than All-New X-Factor (and we all know that the only reason why Marvel doesn't cancel X-Factor is because Peter David is writing it). We know that it will reach at least issue #10 (since we saw the solicitations for issue #9 and they don't say it is the final issue), but I'm really hoping that it doesn't get cancelled shortly after that.
Weird to see how great books like X-Force, Fantastic Four and All-New X-Factor are selling so low, while average stuff like the current Uncanny X-Men sells much more.
I feel like some readers aren't really seeing the big picture of whats really going in Spurrier's series. There are mutants who are being experimented as weapon of mass destruction. And it really indicates how some of these characters are affected by this. Though Spurrier hadn't quickly explain what happen to the rest of the characters since issue one where many people were too quick to judge the book to be bad. As the series continue, he carefully explain what happen to the main characters in delicate details and plots of each issue.
Even though sales are low, Spurrier is starting to get some positive feedback with X-force 5. Here are some reviews I've found.

The current Uncanny X-Men is really good, some interesting writing happening there. I haven't picked up X-Force coz nothing will ever top Remender in my mind. just like when Joss Whedon left Astonishing X-Men
