Beast didn’t start the fire in our EXCLUSIVE preview of X-Force #49

Last time, in X-Force #48, the team awakened a clone of Beast whose memories date to when he was a member of the New Defenders, meaning he’s missed out on about three “We Didn’t Start the Fire”s’ worth of events.

Don’t worry, Hank, we’ll catch you up.

Defenders split, X-Factor
Then the Mutant Massacre
Warren gets some shiny wings
Apocalypse does some things
Inferno and Judgment War
Reunion on Muir Isle’s shore
Gold Team, Blue Team
Magneto dies it seems
Dammit, Gambit, Bishop says
That you’re gonna betray us
Stryfe shoots Charlie in the head
Turns out Maggie isn’t dead
[Chorus] FIRE AND LIFE INCARNATE
THESE STORIES ARE NONSENSE
MAKE YOUR GIRL SAY DARNIT
Phalanx and the AoA
Onslaught, Bastion, OZ-Tay
Captured by your alt-world self
Sucks worse than gun-toting elf
Kelly, Seagle, Hunt for X
Tries with Dr. Reyes for sex
Magneto War, shit the Twelve
Claremont’s back, cat-guy self
Telling Trish Tilby you’re gay
Making ‘Sandy Nova pay
Decimation, House of M
Doing crimes to fix them
[Chorus] FIRE AND LIFE INCARNATE
THESE STORIES ARE NONSENSE
MAKE YOUR GIRL SAY DARNIT
Finding Hope! Utopia!
AVX! Schism stuff!
Bringing O-5 to now!
Battleworld! Scott dies how?
IVX! ResurreX!
Hickman comes! Mutant sex!
KRAKOA. BLOWN AWAY.
WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO SAY?

Check out our exclusive preview of X-Force #49, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
