Y’ever notice when they convene a meeting of all of the Marvel super-geniuses, Forge isn’t there? No one asked Forge to join the Illuminati when the Skrulls were invading, or when the incursions started. You never see Forge on a Zoom call with Mr. Fantastic and Iron Man and Hank Pym and Beast and Shuri…
The world is fractured. Forge uses his powers of invention to devise the only fix: an all-new, all-different X-Force — Askani, Captain Britain, Sage, Surge and newcomer Tank — in off-the-books missions so dire, so integral to the fate of the Marvel Universe, there’s no time to stop for permission. X-Force #1 is written by…
Each week, ComicsXF staff offer their recommendations for what to read. New comics come out Wednesdays. See your local comic shop for more info. Adam’s pick: X-Force #1: The world is fractured. Forge uses his powers of invention to devise the only fix: an all-new, all-different X-Force. Forge leads a custom-made, handpicked team of mutants…
Marvel on Tuesday announced a new volume of X-Force, written by Geoffrey Thorne (Green Lantern) and drawn by Marcus To (Excalibur). The latest iteration of the team is centered on Forge, so hot right now after the adaptation of “Lifedeath” on X-Men ’97, and includes mutant “it” couple Betsy Braddock and Rachel Summers (no codenames…
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-FactorThen the Mutant MassacreWarren gets some…
The Fall of X continues, and mostly ends, in X-Chat #13! In X-Men #29, Doom invites the X-Men to dinner, by Gerry Duggan, Joshua Cassara, Marte Gracia and Clayton Cowles. In X-Force #47, Colossus finally breaks free of his brother Mikhail, by Benjamin Percy, Daniel Picciotto, Guru-eFx and Joe Caramagna. And Logan’s world tour ends…
For years of publishing time now, Colossus has been puppeted by the Chronicler at the behest of his brother, Mikhail Rasputin. But now that Krakoa has fallen, it looks like Colossus has neared the end of his usefulness, and Mikhail has set his sights on a new organization to infiltrate … Orchis. Cool. Kill ’em…
Jean left the team. Beast turned out to be a war criminal. Logan was always sidetracked by solo adventures. Colossus turned out to be his brother’s thrall. Deadpool is working for Steve Rogers again. Guess it’s just us girls. Sage and Domino have got enough mad in them for Orchis, for Mikhail Rasputin, for pretty…
Listen, I know it isn’t SEO friendly but I don’t know how to write a headline that is more clear than how Beast is Nimrod now. I wanted to call him Beastrod but when you Google that you just get some upsetting fan art of that guy who joined your party at Hallow Bastion in…
Cannot be more clear about the events of this preview than I have been in the title. Wolverine plays drinking games with big boys like Juggernaut, Blob and Strong Guy. These gentlemen are much larger than Laura (who, for the record, is not the Laura currently dating Synch, it’s the one who was accidently resurrected…
I don’t watch anime. It’s nothing against it but I wasn’t a Toonami kid when I was growing up and now there’s just too many hours in the day. I am aware of a new (?) popular (?) anime called Attack On Titan where I think dudes fight skinless Goya looking monsters. Anyway that’s what…
Welcome to the first installment of ComicsXF’s new regular X-book review roundup column! With so many X-Men related comics coming out each month, we’ve enlisted a crack duo of writers to tackle an assortment of the notable or intriguing offerings. This week, they kick off the column with three big “Judgment Day” tie-ins! The X-Men…
It’s a new era on Krakoa but X-Force’s job remains the same: do what needs doing to protect this sacred land. First, X-Force is on the offensive to stick a blow at Orchis in X-Force Annual #1 by Nadia Shammas, Rafael Pimentel, Carlos Lopez, and Joe Caramagna. Then they pivot to defense against an attack…
The Destiny Of X marches on as X-Force takes a moment to let Nadia Shammas play in the world of Krakoa’s CIA. Shammas is fresh off the acclaimed release of Squire and is dipping her toes in the direct market with X-Force Annual #1. Joining Shammas is Rafael Pimentel, a newer name in comics, but…
DOMINO, KID OMEGA and WOLVERINE head back into the thresher to recover the precious cargo stolen from Krakoa!
