Cable assembles Psylocke, Fantomex and Marrow into a brand new X-Force in 2014 by Si Spurrier and Rock-He Kim. This team has always been the pro-active, clandestine fighting force taking the fight to the X-Men’s enemies – while keeping their questionable methods and acts a secret from their fellow mutants.

 

What’s the mission? Spurrier compares real world espionage with the current Marvel Universe in this Marvel.com interview.

 

“In our world—the real world?—there’s a shadow-game being played every day. Continue reading Cable’s Mission in X-FORCE

An All-New X-FORCE blasts into the All-New Marvel Now in 2014. Uncanny X-Force and Cable and X-Force will come to an end after the Vendetta crossover.

 

Si Spurrier (X-Men Legacy) breaks down on the new roster and here’s the revamped look for each member by Rock-He Kim courtesy Marvel.com:

 

“Cable. As in, the extraordinarily deadly grizzled old war dog and fancier of enormoguns. Slightly grimmer than the proverbial reaper.

 

Psylocke. Everyone’s favorite British aristocratic psi-warrior transplanted into the body of a nin-ja. Trying her best to quit killing. Not doing very well. Continue reading New X-FORCE Roster and Surprise Member

This week’s big news of a Daredevil series from Netflix and the first issue of Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe made me think of…Domino?

 

Hang in with me. Domino has luck power like Longshot. A new X-Force was announced without Neena on the team. All this made me think of when the luckiest mutant teamed up with the Man Without Fear.

 

In the category of “….and now for something completely different…” Continue reading DOMINO & DAREDEVIL Flashback Friday

In the aftermath of the Cable and X-Force vs. Uncanny X-Force crossover Vendetta – there will be one single X-Force book. Marvel revealed plans for the new title by Si Spurrier (X-Men Legacy, Numbercruncher) via USA Today.

 

The rosters have changed but X-Force has always been the pro-active, clandestine unit of the X-Men doing what X-Men can’t…sometimes taking out their enemies before they can attack mutants.

 

The team will be Cable, Psylocke, Fantomex and the return of Continue reading X-FORCE The One and Only

X-Factor is over for now but the odds are in favor of Longshot fans! The luck powered hero from another dimension already had a new job: saving the Marvel Universe!?

 

Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe #1 by Christopher Hastings and Jacopo Camagni arrives this week.

 

I’ve been a huge fan of Longshot and highly recommend the original limited series by Ann Nocenti and Arthur Adams. I like having Longshot in the mix with the X-Men but he’s not a mutant. I always thought Longshot would be a great addition to the Avengers or out of the shadow of other team and become a solo star. Continue reading LONGSHOT Returns!
