X-FORCE by Geoffrey Thorne and Marcus To

[Hi-Fi]

This July, on the edge of the From the Ashes era, the latest evolution of X-Force is born, specifically suited to this brash new age of mutant storytelling. Discover their impossible mission in the new X-FORCE ongoing series written by acclaimed screenwriter Geoffrey Thorne and drawn by kinetic X-MEN artist Marcus To.

This time, this iconic comic book super squad will be built from the ground up by the mutant inventor—Forge! Accessing an omega-level degree of his unique and complex mutant power to build anything, Forge will bear witness to everything broken in the world.

Luckily, he knows exactly who he’ll need to repair it: Rachel Summers, Betsy Braddock, Sage, Surge, and Tank. To save nothing short of existence itself, they’ll jump sword, gun, and fist first into deadly uncertainty, and the only thing getting in their way will be the secrets they keep!

A new path forged! The world is fractured. Forge uses his powers to devise the only fix: an all-new, all-different X-Force! Forge leads a custom-made, handpicked team of mutants in off-the-books missions so dire, so integral to the fate of the Marvel Universe, there’s no time to stop for permission!

Plus, as Forge detects increasing threats across the planet, he’ll recruit specialists for each target. It’s a revolving door of Marvel guest stars and first up: that regenerating degenerate, Deadpool!

"I cannot believe the reaction to my pitch with, 'That sounds like X-Force to us,'" Thorne shared. “It's a new vibe and a different mission, but it's still X-Force. Looking at all the books coming out under this banner, I'll just paraphrase the prophet, Sheryl Crow: 'All I wanna do is have some fun.' Looking at what I'm getting to do and what the others are bringing, I'm absolutely not the only one."

"When Marvel approached me to be the artist for X-FORCE, I was ecstatic,” To added. “I was always a big fan of the X-books growing up, and to be a part of bringing that excitement to new and old readers alike was an opportunity I could not turn down. And the chance to draw Betsy Braddock again is icing on the cake!"

Last month, fans got their first look at what awaits Marvel’s line of X-Men titles following the bold Krakoan Age with the reveal of three flagship series: Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman’s X-MEN, Gail Simone and David Marquez’s UNCANNY X-MEN, and Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero’s EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN.

The expansive mythos of the X-Men has always made space for additional series that test the limits and explore the far-reaching scope of the mutant metaphor. Fresh spins on classic X-Men titles and startling directions for your favorite mutants are just ahead, starting in July with X-FORCE, PHOENIX, and NYX.

Thanks Sibz!

Thanks Sibz!

Going by the premise and with Betsy and Rachel on the team and To illustrating I wonder if they'll jaunt over into Otherworld once in a while. Someone needs to ask that question when Thorne does his inevitable AiPT:XMM interview.

I hope those uniforms are just for the first arc.

I'm glad that Forge keeps getting a push even after the Krakoa era is over. After all those years being a side character in X-books, it's deserved.

Surge is a welcome surprise, but considering X-books' history with her generation, I'm cautious.

Deadpool is just here for an arc? Good. I mean, not at all would be better, but at least he'll eventually go away.

I still think Tank may be Taki or Madison.

Marcus To is great.
I've only read Solo and Mosaic by Thorne. Solo was terriible, while Mosaic was pretty good. Kinda hope Mosaic will appear as a guest in X-Force. He's a character who should have gotten a push.

Oh my god!!!!!

I meant to say, JB, your joy over this is palpable so I’m pumped for you. Going to buy this book and support it despite not being what I was hoping for in no small part for the cool posters like yourself who are over the moon about it. I’ve always preferred Kwannon Japanese Psylocke to OG British Psylocke, but maybe this will change my mind on that. I’m open to it. Congrats and cheers.

Any thoughts on a possible new name as Betts‘ codename?

Really hoping she gets a good one. She needs it since she gave Psylocke away to Kwannon.

I really appreciate that, thank you! This was an unexpected surprise today and I'm super stoked. I'm glad you're gonna give the book a shot and hopefully you enjoy it!

Not what I was expecting… but I’ll give it a shot. And I had a sneaking suspicion that Cable was going to get a cooling off period in the new era. He’s convoluted and this is “back to basics.” I get it. Not hating on it as there’s plenty of Wolverine for me to sink my teeth into while I await the Askani’son’s return to the books.

Who is Tank?

Who is Tank?

A mutant that has only one appearance in Ironheart, apparently:
