An Inferno rages on…in another title. While Colossus is roped into the machinations of the Quiet Council, relationships fizzle, romances begin, and waves get ridden. All this and a baby heist in X-Force #25 by Benjamin Percy, Robert Gill and Guru-eFX, and Joe Caramanga. Kenneth Laster: I’m not going to lie–I did not realize that…
We return to our Russian retreat as the Chronicler weaves a wicked tale! What do Mikhail and his weaponized reality-warping writer have in store for Colossus and Kayla? And back on Krakoa, will Black Tom escape the Beast’s innards? All this and more in X-Force #24 by Benjamin Percy, Martin Coccolo and Guru-eFX, and Joe…
The thing about Benjamin Percy, the thing I appreciate most, is that he knows what he is doing. In the hands of a lesser writer, Krakoa having a CIA would be considered a good thing. Percy is writing about the grime, the messy business of nation building. He also knows that this is a superhero…
We traveled all the way to Russia and boy, are we chilly. That’s okay because the embers of INFERNO will keep us warm as Mikhail Rasputin returns. Plus, tiny men travel inside Hank McCoy. Don’t miss our breakdown of X-Force #23.
Remember Man-Slaughter? Us neither! But he’s back for more plant shenanigans in X-Force #22 by Benjamin Percy, Robert Gill, and Guru-eFX and Joe Caramanga. Ari Bard: The plants are everywhere! There are different strains and they’re infectious and they all matter EXCEPT Black Tom Cassidy and his veg. Percy has made it very clear that…

X-Force, Man-Thing and everyone’s favorite War Criminal, Hank McCoy are ready to plant their roots in a new investigation in X-Force #21 by Benjamin Percy, Joshua Cassara, Robert Gil, and Guru-eFX, and VC’s Joe Caramanga. Kenneth Laster: The Gala…
In a perfect world, X-Force wouldn’t be necessary. And in a perfect world, an angry Kid Omega would be able to internally reflect on his shortcomings and grow as a person without having to confront a murderous and deranged version of himself harnessed by Xeno. It’s okay, we’re not mad. Can X-Force put a stop…
A. Why This Matters X-Force #18 by Benjamin Percy, Garry Brown and Joshua Cassara saw the bizarre, wholly unexpected death of Dr. Hank McCoy—the Beast; he was neither the focus of the story nor on that issue’s cover. But he’ll be back by X-Force #20, working security for the Hellfire Gala event this June. What…
In a perfect world, X-Force wouldn’t be necessary. And in a perfect world, a psychic menace wouldn’t be gunning for the shores of Krakoa. Can X-Force survive these Brain Blasts? Find out in X-Force #18 brought to us by Benjamin Percy, Garry Brown, Guru-eFX and Joe Caramanga. Ari Bard: So… it seems like Kid Omega…
In a perfect world, X-Force wouldn’t be necessary. And in a perfect world, Quentin Quire wouldn’t have died so much. Kid Omega gets a new lease on life in X-Force #17 brought to us by Benjamin Percey, Joshua Cassara, Guru-eFX and Joe Caramanga. Kenneth Laster: So the mad lads have finally done it…given us a…
It sucks to be Quentin Quire. He has become the punching bag for the X-Force creative team of Benjamin Percy and Joshua Cassara who have killed him in nearly every mission the mutant CIA has undertaken. Sure they gave him a girlfriend, and that’s pretty near, but he also has become bored of death. In…

Ari Bard: Well Kenneth, it looks like it’s time for a relaxing day at the beach in the middle…
Justin Partridge: So I suppose I should just start with the most obvious question (as I vaguely know your origins as an X-Force Person), but WHY Metallica? What is it about the Third Greatest Metal Band of All Time that drew you to their music? And by extension, this hysterical and brilliant idea for a…
