Marvel Will Give Us The Beast Vs The Beast For The Fall Of X Finale

Marvel has issued the following teaser for X-Force #48 by Benjamin Percy and Robert Gill, for the start of the Target: Beast storyline.



Article Summary

  • Marvel teases "Beast vs Beast" showdown in X-Force #48 by Benjamin Percy and Robert Gill.
  • X-Force plots against their former leader, Beast, as his dark reign intensifies.
  • X-Force #49 revisits the alliance of Beast with Wonder Man, adding layers to the saga.
  • Landmark X-Force #50 promises an epic final battle and a significant evolution for Beast.

Marvel has issued the following teaser for X-Force #48 by Benjamin Percy and Robert Gill, for the start of the Target: Beast storyline. And, as has been surmised on Bleeding Cool, X-Force will be using one version of the Beast to take down the one who has been running the show like a mad scientist tyrant. I'm betting on the Avengers-era versions of his mind being recovered in a new Beast body and sent to take down what Hank McCoy has become… is that the clone body being grown, even as the man Beast gets all Krakoa-body enhanced?

The Beast

Marvel states, "THE BEST WAY TO STOP BEAST… IS BEAST! Beast has finally gone too far and X-FORCE enacts a radical plan to take him down in next month's X-FORCE #48. Don't miss this long-awaited evolution for an original X-Men icon as writer Benjamin Percy and artist Robert Gill set the stage X-FORCE's milestone 50th issue!"

And here are the solicits for the final issues, from Janaury into March…
