Uncanny X Force

[Eric]

...Because it deserves it's own thread.


This book is pretty amazing. I still have some huge gaps to fill, but I'm enjoying the process. A quick question: What happened to Angel & Apocalypse? Is Kid Apocalypse THE Apocalypse, or a clone or something? And finally, has the trade paperback for the arc covering all this been released yet?

[resha]

the only negative thing I can say about this book is that I wish Jerome Opeña was drawing every issue. that dude has some major talent

[MJStarchilde]

good thing you're listening to the uncanny xcast where you'll get all your on shelves now and retro reviews lol

i think youll have to read the dark angel saga to see what happened to angel and who the kid apocalypse.

[Slym]

Yeah, I think it's best to just read up to the dark angel saga to find out. All will be answered.

The Dark Angel trade should be out June 6th.

Sweet; just a few weeks till the trade!

The X-Force line-up.

What has been your favorite team? Going all the way back to New Mutants new direction to present-day Uncanny X-Force.

I really enjoyed the roster that Remender started his run with. He actually got me to enjoy fantomex and deadpool for once.

not a big ran of this alternate reality nightcrawler though

[Eric]

I dig what I'm assuming WAS the current line-up, with Psylocke, Wolverine, Fantomex, Nightcrawler, and Deadpool. I guess it's now down to just Wolverine and Nightcrawler?

What happened to X-23, Proudstar, and Domino?

Spoilers but on this forum is that even a concern




Been loving Uncanny X-Force since issue 1 really enjoyed what they did with the AoA the most true its been to that timeline since its original run. But after 25 where do Wolverine AoA Nightcrawler and Deadpool go from here do they disband or add more members. Not to mention we got the Omega Clan running over our team and a AoA Blob on the loose still. One question is Dark Beast still lurking around? Also if Fantomex is complaining about money since Warren was funding the special ops team could'nt Wolverine just pay him with the diamonds that Krakoa has been producing. Or is he just being a whipped bitch and following Psylock to hopefully get more than a one night stand.
On a final note with Angel being at the School along with Genesis something hopefully will come ahead on that front. Hope this series sticks around for another 25 issues.

No knock of the current team, but my favorite X-Force team is:



Basically the New Mutants, but I love that whole story arc where they strike out on their own sans 'adult' supervision. No Professor X, no Magneto, no Cable. Just a group of wayward teenagers with superpowers. Very Runaways-esque.

It may also have something to do with the fact that I was a wayward youth at the time, and the idea of a cross-country road trip that culminates at the Burning Man Folk Festival was truly awesome!!!



By the way, there's some crazy "Where's Waldo" type stuff going on in this picture. Leather fetish abounds. There's an androgynous person riding atop anther another person who has a horse's head. Women grinding each other. Is the woman on stilts nude? Siryn's doing something vulgar with her mouth and fingers. And look at the guy in the lower right corner - creepy 'O' face.

Man that Pollina artwork is beautiful, I forgot how great xforce was around this time, we even got Jimmy Cheung soon after. Great run. Whatever happened to Pollina?

My freakin' comic shop was sold out of the Dark Angel Saga trade THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED. Gonna try one more comic shop, then it's Amazon-Ahoy.

[Slym]

That's weird. Marvel's website screwed up and had that trade coming out on the 6th of June.

[ragingbass]

My favourite line up is still from the Kyle and Yost run. Wolverine, X-23, Dark Angel, Warpath and Wolfsbane. If only Robert Rodriguez would direct a movie with this line up!
