I'm not disclosing Tank's identity until it's right for the story. Even if somebody guesses right.

I will say this. Forge is not a place-holder for Cable. This is Forge's team and Forge's mission.

This book is going to [pleasantly] surprise a lot of folks.

I want Blink on ALL the teams. Much Blink love at Casa Thorne.

Haven't drawn her in a minute.

Maybe it's time for another go.
...

is it a spoiler if I correct something about a character that people are assuming but is wrong?

there's is... some. but, in the case of X-Force, it won't be obvious.

I would say Forge is always giving folks helpful gadgets.

I liked Nori. I liked all the NEW XMEN ACADEMY kids. The thing I like about her is she is a grappler, not a hider. Her response to trouble is to punch it in the mouth. Yeah, she had some bigotry...

nope. none of that is, in any way, how storytelling works.

New mission. New team. New obstacles. New villains. Many, many new dangers.

Issue #1 will tell you what you need to know.

Once again, there will be no spoilers.

You'll have to actually read...

The canon is the canon but this is a FRESH start. Whether you loved or hated any previous run on the title, one thing I can promise is this book will not be any of those books.

Oddly enough, just...

that's pretty dope.

I wonder if we'll do anything special for that.

well, I'm not one of the cool kids so I'm never privy to what the company plans or doesn't plan for any particular character.

ALL my pitches have to be independent of whatever's currently going on...

yeah. I even drew a picture of him. Possibly the most powerful MORT ever created.

She still needs them.

era agnostic.

hmm.

Them Phoenix gals got a lot of juice, that's for sure.

Rachel's powerset and its effects is something we will definitely be exploring. Saying more constitutes a spoiler.

PSIONICS are a...

I write heroes. I have no interest in turning them into monsters.

But there are heroes and there are heroes.

heh.

Forge is... not a nice man. a good man? absolutely. nice? not even close.

AFAIC Tessa is her real name.

Time will definitely be spent on Tessa.

I hate to break hearts but not in the near future.

But there are a bunch of other X-Books dropping so it's not unlikely he can show up in one of them.

this far out, I doubt it. I'm certainly not allowed to.

With what I'm making Marcus draw already, I shudder to think what his reaction would be to having to draw EIGHTEEN issues in 12 months. How Gail and David Marquez are even doing that....?

Yikes,...

I never say "no" to using cool characters but I wouldn't count on Cable showing up any time soon.

assume I've read (and own) 98% of all X-related material ever printed. And that includes John Byrne's bootleg.

also assume I'm not paying homage to or emulating any previous version or arc.
...

Phew!

Okay!

Those are excellent questions and ones I concerned myself with very much when designing this book. I can't get into it here because the debut is months away and spoilers make my...
