At Rose City Comic Con I said to Sam Humphries he’s made Uncanny X-Force the naughty, twisted X-Men book of the extended mutant family. To which he grinned and said “yeah!”

 

Psylocke has had a fling with Fantomex and his female twin – at the same time. Storm is sporting her badass Mohawk – with the attitude to match. Spiral started out as the enemy but you’ll want to cheer for the six armed twisted sister now. Mojo’s former enforcer has entangled the team in the fight over a mutant mystery child, a bizarre cult and demonic animal spirits. Plus, this crazy book has Bishop and Puck from Alpha Flight. Continue reading UNCANNY X-FORCE Ready For War

The most recent adventures of Fantomex in Uncanny X-Force* have seemed like they should be “for mature readers” but Marvel is taking it to the MAX literally.

Unleash the Teasers!

 

After the Trial and Judgment teasers hinting at a X-Men/Guardian of the Galaxy crossover, Marvel lets loose three more with the promise that all will be revealed at New York Comic Con in about 2 weeks.

 

But that won’t stop the speculation so let’s begin!

 

Corporate is the first clue about Peter David’s new project since The End of X-Factor. Carmine Di Giandomenico will be the artist on the book. We know it will involve mutants and the big hint was at the end of the Polaris issue of The End of X-Factor. Continue reading Marvel Teasers for Peter David, Rick Remender and Silver Surfer?

Uncanny Avengers #12 is packed with even more evil promising the origin of the Apocalypse Twins, Kang’s endgame revealed and an unholy pact between the Red Skull and…Ahab.

 

Yes, the ruthless mutant hunter from the future joins Rick Remender’s time twisted epic.

 

One of the big reasons I’m sharing this story is because celebrated artist Salvador Larroca (X-Men, Invincible Iron Man and currently Cable and X-Force) penciled this week’s issue focusing on Kang the Conqueror. Continue reading Kang Time Uncanny Avengers
