X-Force (Vol.4) Discussion Thread

If there were ever a crossover with X-Force, Spurrier should be the one at the helm. With those images of that morituri story Tazirai posted it's obvious Spurrier would be able to handle weaving a nice complex plot that would make for a great event/crossover.

Question: If X-Force to have a cross-over with a high profile book (to boost sales), which book would you guys prefer?.

Secret Avengers. You know the two teams wouldn't get along but they might kick all kinds off ass together...

[cc008]

Is Secret Avengers a high profile book though? I know Deadpool will be a guest star in a few issues. Looking forward to that, actually.

ANXF and XF

UXM wouldn't work and ANXM kitty has the "x-men don't kill" thing so they'll clash

With the right story and writer anything can work.

Same here.
Crossing with Magneto would be nice too, Cable and him have basically the same premise.

As long as it isn't forced or taking away elements that have been set in stone, even ignore. (ANXM)

High enough, I guess. It's got "Avengers" slapped on it...

That it does.

Wonder if Deadpool will end up back with X-Force as part of this rumored relaunch or creative shift or whatever that Bleeding Cool talked about? My hope is that Spurrier stays on and it is just an artist change and roster tweak (Wade for Fantomex please).

Secret Avengers sells worse than X-Force, which is just as absurd, because like X-Force, it's great.

Yes (eventually) and no. I always like seeing Fantomex's interactions with Psylocke, but aside from that, I see your point since he hasn't really played a particularly useful role in the series so far. If anything, he seems more like comic relief.

But knowing how Spurrier has been writing this volume so far, I'm apt to think that he has something brewing for Fantomex's storyline. After all, Fantomex was at the Alexandria incident. Plus, back in issue 4, Spurrier ended with Fantomex getting more than a little power-loony crazy. Spurrier's not the type to drop little anticlimatic bombs and let them just defuse. I trust he's got something big planned for Fantomex. And I'd rather have him finish whatever he started then just doing a quick Deadpool switcheroo.

[Jackraow21]

Don't misunderstand. I'm talking about whenever Spurrier has completed his arc for Fantomex and is done with him.

I agree, that could be a really cool crossover. I would prefer a different artist on this series but I'm enjoying it well enough so far.

2015 may not have an x-force

[Jackraow21]

Then 2015 may suck.

No Wolverine and no X-Force and I'm out. It's been a good ride, Marvel.
