X-Force vs. X-Force! The New Year kicks off with a bang as the two teams go to war. Marvel announced Vendetta at New York Comic Con and now we know new details of the fight between Cable’s crew and Psylocke’s squad battling all through January.
The bad blood and old scores will be settled in Vendetta coming to UNCANNY X-FORCE and CABLE & X-FORCE from the creative teams of Sam Humphries and Harvey Tolibao and Dennis Hopeless and Angel Unzueta.
“For years, the mutant Bishop relentlessly chased Cable and his adopted daughter Hope Summers through time and space on a mission to wipe her out of existence. Though they narrowly escaped with their lives, the scars still remain. Now, the man who has haunted Hope’s dreams has returned to the present – and he’s working with their fellow X-Men?!
Hope is out for blood, and nobody is going to stand in her way, even if she has to take down all of Uncanny X-Force to get it! But as Hope exacts her revenge, a much greater threat closes in from the shadows – and one of the X-Men’s deadliest villains returns!”
“When I took the reins on CABLE & X-FORCE and UNCANNY X-FORCE, I knew a crossover of the two books would be inevitable,” series editor Daniel Ketchum tells Marvel.com. “I’m so excited about the story Dennis and Sam have cooked up…it delivers exactly what I’d want to read in an X-Force event!”
Here’s how Vendetta strikes in CABLE & X-FORCE #18 with subsequent issues shipping weekly throughout January!

This crossover should be a hit with fans of the 90’s era as Cable and Bishop continue their blood feud but to add Nathan’s twisted clone to the mix! Hopeless, Humphries and Ketchum are using the X-Men’s past in a great way to propel the renegade X-teams forward.
Let the battle begin this January!
