In the All-New Marvel arena – Two X-Force books end. A new one begins.

 

The one and only X-Force is born in 2014.

 

Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso tells Comic Book Resources the merging into one book is about strategy:

 

“In the aftermath of the upcoming “Uncanny X-Force/Cable and X-Force” crossover, “Vendetta,” starting this January, there just isn’t enough room for both teams. “Cable & X-Force” and “Uncanny X-Force” were both successful books, but we saw an opportunity to boil down the cast of both to one team — a dream team that includes some new members — with one clear mandate. This move makes perfect sense, story-wise, and it blows a huge gust of wind into the sails of tour X-Men publishing plan, teeing up a news series that we’re sure will be exciting to fans.”

 

X-Men Legacy is coming to an end, too. Legacy writer Si Spurrier is the writer on the new X-Force book. The roster will be Cable, Psylocke, Fantomex and Marrow. You can read Spurrier’s take on the book and see the team’s new uniforms here.
