x-force Archives

Looks like Drew Goddard just hit the Liefeld lotto! The long-gestating X-Force movie has a writer and a director, and in a shocking twist, they're the same person! According to a report from Deadline, Drew Goddard will write and direct the film, which Deadline describes as Cable and Deadpool leading a team of black ops soldiers[...]

Could this be an unannounced mea culpa? After that, there are a trio of Marvel Legends figures focusing on the 1990s X-Force characters, which are also announced to be in the next Deadpool movie How convenient The figures include Domino, Cable and of course, the Merc with the Mouth himself. Then we have a few Captain America[...]

Earlier this month, when Marvel revealed that their new X-Force book by Charles Soule will be called Astonishing X-Men, readers were forced to assume that either the book would have a rotating art team, or the art would materialize fully formed out of thin air by sheer force of willpower, since no artists were announced for[...]

Marvel has revealed the final two characters from the teaser image released a few days ago for a new X-Force comic Throwing a curveball fans' way, the comic will not actually be called X-Force, but Astonishing X-Men, as decided during a typical Marvel creative summit exercise where pros put on a blindfold, spin around until they're dizzy, and then[...]

Teaser by Jim Cheung Two more mutants have been added to the teaser image for It-Must-Be-X-Force. And it looks like one of my guesses was indeed right! Gambit is joining this team of killers, moral grey-zone characters and obligatory Old Man Logan They will also be joined by fan-favourite psychic ninja Psylocke. We're promised that the final reveal[...]

Kinberg's latest sit-down occured with schedule-themed Hollywood gossip site Deadline, and during that interview, Kinberg revealed which characters will be the focal point of the upcoming X-Force film, saying, "We are working hard on New Mutants, Gambit with Channing Tatum, Deadpool 2 and the new X Force movie where Deadpool is alongside Cable and other main characters." Cable will first debut[...]

Art by Jim Cheung Marvel are continuing with their tried and true method of long-form teasing using a single piece of artwork by revealing another two character from the upcoming-what-appears-to-be X-Force book. Not the first time this adopted mother and daughter pairing have teamed up, but it never really goes well for the pair So needless to[...]

 In a pair of dueling 'exclusives' released moments apart, Collider has posted word that The Grey writer/director Joe Carnahan will script X-Force, while Comicbook.com chimes in by adding that Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds will co-write the film. There appears to be some disagreement on how exactly this is coming together, however[...]

It looks like Weapon X will be doing the bidding of Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, according to an interview with new Weapon X writer Greg Pak on Marvel.com.

While DC always have FINAL ISSUE, with Marvel this month we have FATAL FINISH LINE ALL-NEW GHOST RIDER #12  FELIPE SMITH (w) FELIPE SMITH (A/C) FATAL FINISH LINE! • What is the shocking fate of ROBBIE'S brother, GABE? • Will Robbie finally be pushed over the edge by the evil of ELI MORROW? • And…THE MOST UNEXPECTED GHOST RIDER EVER!!!! 32 PGS./Rated T+[...]

In this case, the local landfill may also prove fortuitous. When Marvel relaunched New Mutants as X-Force #1 with Rob Liefeld, they did so by bagging the comic with one of five trading cards, encouraging people to buy all five, plus one to open and read And they sold five million of the bastards. So that's one[...]

A few weeks ago, X-Force #2 was a $2 book The second appearance of Deadpool, the issue stopping it joining the Deadpool's first appearance in New Mutants #98 as a high cost collectible item was the fact that it had a print run of over a million. Basically, there are loads of them out there Which[...]

Not too many credit changes to report this week, as opposed to last week's monster list. Just that Avengers #37 will be drawn by Mike Deodato, not Stefano Caselli. That X-Force #11 will be drawn by Rock-He Kim, not Tan Eng Huat. And Jordie Bellaire is no longer the colourist for Batgirl #35 as announced, replaced by Maris Wicks. But one retailer fellow[...]

Last week saw the final issue of the Deadpool Vs X-Force series, just as the Deadpool Vs Hawkeye series kicked off. But how to end this time travelling caper which had seen Deadpool save Hitler's life in the previous issue's cliffhanger? Why, by going back to basics and giving us…. I do hope Rob was paid royalties… UPDATE: @richjohnston my[...]

Louise Oddball writes, There was a time during the 90s when Adam Pollina was firmly ensconced atop the A List of comic book artists at Marvel during the 90s.  At the innocent age of 23 he was already drawing X-Force with writer Jeph Loeb on drums and guitar. Over that tumultuous decade he'd work, going back and[...]

Seems a long way from those days when they couldn't have recognisable brands for anything… like DC's "chirper". Black Dynamite knows it when he hears it. And Francis Manapul does cool things with comics in Detective Comics, showing off the the way Batmans technology lets him see the world, through analysis, magnification and basically cool stuff. In Amazing X-Men,[...]

So this is how X-Force #5 ended. Cable goes explodo In days gone by this might have been of note, but the comic book reading public is blasé these days I remember watching those old black and white adventure serials like King Of The Rocketmen and was repeatedly annoyed by how they'd get out of a[...]

But it does set up an uncoming non-death death… Si Spurrier on X-Force there, mocking his countrymen Or mocking the American folk who mock his countrymen Maybe he's having his cake and eating it? More on this comic later I think.Invincible gets very Miracleman as one guy, basically, takes down the planet;s superheroic comunity, one by[...]

Currently Rob Liefeld says that, after having to get the issue recoloured after a contre temps with a number of colourists, he is hoping for publication at the end of the month at Las Vegas Comic Con but will guarantee San Diego Comic Con. But that cover does rather resemble a rejected X-Force cover from October[...]

Rob Liefeld seems to be hinting that the studio's decision to do a film about the ancient villain has put other films in development in the X-universe into disarray and now X-Force, based on his comic book creation, may not even happen at all. Liefeld answered this in response to a fan via Twitter: Everything changed when[...]

While I like to think I was smart enough to avoid some trends, like the poly-bagged X-Force #1, which has become a punchline even outside of geek circles, and even scoffed at some of my classmates buying up overpriced Punisher #1s in droves at my first comic convention, I did hop onto the Spawn bandwagon[...]

Storm clouds are gathering. Yesterday I wrote a piece noting how recent issues of the Marvel comic X-Force had crossed over with the world of Strikeforce Morituri, the eighties Marvel series by Peter B Gillis and Brent Anderson. It was a clear intentional crossover The world they visited had the same dimensional number as that of Strikeforce[...]

From last month's X-Force #4… Or is that "We who are about to die…?" And from yesterday's X-Force #5, we find out more about that world. Yeah That's Strikeforce Morituri, isn't it? Yes, that's definitely Strikeforce Morituri… the comic created by Peter Gillis and Brent Anderson and published in the eighties Designated Earth 1287 in the Marvel Official[...]

X-Force by Duane Swierczynski and Pepe Larraz, with covers from Shane Davis Not that I have any covers to show you yet Four issue mini-series. And, alongside it, the seven issue long Deadpool: Dracula's Gauntlet by Gerry Duggan, Brian Posehn and Reilly Brown. Which is, presumably, the print version of the digital comic Deadpool: The Gauntlet with a more spoilery[...]

Let's check in with X-Force #2. But there's one person's privacy that none of the security forces can invade Immune from the NSA, SHIELD, CIA, GCHQ, AIM and the Kremlin Over in X-Men Legacy #200, we get a very special story, resonant with the time period reflected in the comic, about a mutant member of the[...]

X-Force #1 was a fast paced beat down featuring Tank Girl as their break out character (okay, it was Marrow) Superior Spider-man is hitting it's crescendo, All New X-Men played the space Summers card, Thor set up Jason Aaron's big Marvel summer crossover, and Winter Soldier is the best book that probably not on your[...]

Thank you Clown Fatale #3 for that particular image. What, BPRD #115, does that mean you might all get cancelled by Fox?   Yes, God Is Dead, I'm very serious. Victor Von Doom rejects all contractions in his speech, in Fantastic Four #16. I think I only just noticed, the Ultimates teleportation sound is the same as the Doctor Who[...]

Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini, who last worked on Marvel's Uncanny X-Force together, are announcing a new Image comic book at Image Expo today. It's called Low. It is a sci-fi comic, set on a solar radiation-battered Earth, with humanity relocated under the sea And a probe returning with information about a possible alternative planet to live[...]

UPDATE: No it wasn't, as was pointed out, there was the Jerome Dickey series too… As for the previous X-Force books being cancelled for the new title, I'm told that Sam Humphries and Dennis Hopeless have replacement comics from Marvel lined up. And as Uncanny Avengers does… whatever it's meant to do with issue fourteen, it will[...]
