Uncanny X-Force #1 (New Ongoing)

Close

There are certain pairs in this world that don't get nearly enough credit on how well they work together. Like peanut butter and Nutella. Like David Fincher and Brad Pitt. Or in the case of Uncanny X-Force, like Rick Remender and Jerome Opeña. I still think it was positively criminal that more people weren't reading their spectacular first arc on Punisher last year, so it's great to see that Marvel is bumping up the duo's spotlight with their merry band of black-ops mutants. And while this first issue is missing a couple of important questions — mainly, how is this team different than its previous iteration — there's enough strong characterization and superb composition to make this a rock-solid debut... this book has just jumped to my number-one pick of the X-Men stable. --

"AGES" PART 1. Wolverine promised Cyclops that X-Force would disband -- he lied. A secret society has resurrected En Sabah Nur, putting into motion events that will turn this age of heroes into an Age of Apocalypse! To hold them back, Wolverine and Archangel bring together Fantomex, Deadpool, and Psylocke to form The Uncanny X-Force! Stained by their history, they are the only ones capable of making the hard resolutions necessary. A band of likeminded friends and mercenaries set to one purpose, one big ugly task -- kill Apocalypse by any means. --
