I hope one of these 2 X-Force books is good since I really loved Remender's series.

I wonder if Colossus will be out of the Juggernaut grasp

I wish they used Blaquesmith instead of Forge though. He is similar enough to Forge plus he already has history with Cable and is all around cool looking. Like ET as a blue collar action hero

Once Remender's Uncanny X-force is over i'll be forced to go onto either this title or the other X-force title...not sure which one is going to be better.

Dr. Nemesis looks like Kabal (Mortal Kombat) and Fantomex had a baby. And yes, the end result looks quite awesome.

A bit late in the game, but this line up looks good. I like the idea of having characters who haven't been shown to interact much in the past together doing so now. Cable and Domino should be interesting and having Forge back is a relief, frankly.

Looking forward to this.

Unfortunately, that's the point of Marvel NOW! They're basically resetting some stuff. For this reason, anything that's happened to a character in a Marvel NOW! book isn't necessarily covered by canon.

@Howlverine:

Agreed on all fronts there, I feel that Gambit could slot onto either team. Uncanny needs to drop Storm for Sage to be honest, but I'll wait for the other character reveals.

@Pwok21: Yeah, Storm's a weird addition for me too. But overall it looks to be centered around Betsy. Should be interesting to see how they interact with Cable's team. Also, I feel like Gambit should be on one of these teams.

so forge is back from the dead & cable lost his arm & eye again........... is this another clone or is this cable also time displaced like the original x-men......... wish this team was more Summers/Grey based since Cable is still loyal to cyclops...... add rachel & x-man to the roster & complete this x-force team

@Howlverine:

I gave the article a quick search after I saw your post and you're right, so that'll be interesting.

Not sure on Storm being in there (kinda contradicts X-Force) but Spiral and Puck make a whole lotta sense, plus fighting Bishop? Sort of wish it would be Cable's team getting some revenge but it should be fun. Plus it'll be fun to see how they overlap, team-up or if Cable's are fugitives (working behind Fury's back) whilst the others are Government / SHIELD backed.

Seems like everyone's pumped about Puck but I'll be honest Spiral is what really interests me.

@Pwok21: That's the thing. The old X-force is NOT getting cancelled. I just read an interview on Marvel.com with Sam Humphries about how he's taking over from Remender on a new/renumbered Uncanny X-Force series. This team will feature Psylocke, Storm, Spiral and Puck (PUCK!!!! Pucking awesome!!) among others, and in the first arc, they're fighting Bishop. And, oh yeah, it's drawn by Ron Garney (RON GARNEY!!! I LOVE Ron Garney's work).

Just my personal opinion, but it's looking great so far.

So, that means there's two X-forces.

(I'm not sure about forum rules and stuff, can I post the link to the article here?)

Looks good but I'm sad about the last X-Force being disbanded.

Still Nemesis, Domino and Colossus will make an interesting team, and to see how Cable will juggle this with the New Fury team will be interesting.

Wow, this is gonna be so awesome......thats like a dream team really, only question i have is, when did Nemesis become a mutant lol?

My pull list is getting smaller on the DC side if they keep rolling out good stuff like this (please, please, please don't screw this up Marvel). I wonderm if thats the real reason why DC's doing all kinds of shuffling of teams and books and pushing for crossovers and rushing plots along before they were prepared to. Seems like they are a little scared, and they should be.

Love this site so much, its the only site that really matters when you, get down to it, at the end of the day, bottomline, come hell or highwater, thanks for doing what you all do so well.

Why does Cable have that long mechanical arm? I thought Hope cured him of the TO virus and he was back to normal?

Maybe coz he hasnt used real left arm muscles since he was a baby? That mechanical arm may be just a brace for now.

Plus, the artist probably thought it looks cool... which it aint.

I'm intrigue by this, so i'll give it a shot.

But please... when it comes to the costumes... sometimes LESS IS MORE.

i'd hate to see a return to "Liefeld" style aesthetics

Apart from Cable and maybe Colossus, this is an awful lineup.

Suck Deadpool isn't on this. Yes. I know he's in Thunderbolts.

All just your individual opinions. Larroca is far from terrible. The lineup is incredible. I'm glad Deadpool isn't in this book... all my opinions.

Yep. I'm entitled to my own opinion. Just like you and everybody else.

why does dr nemesis need a costume? he's always been very behind the scenes. and it looks ridiculous.

why are they being announced as deadly? that's dumb. also, why would they be hunted by the avengers especially since half the time is comprised of mutants?

don't ruin x-force's name after it's been so good these past few years.

however, the new costume for colossus and his placement on this team are pretty cool.

Cable's arm belongs on a Gundam. But this looks good . Plus Domino and Colossus cool. Glad Colossus doesn't have the Juggernaut powers he was a junkie with those powers.

this looks like a return to the old sucky X-force! I'm honestly surprised they didn't get Leifeld to do it. Why would they fuck with one of there most critically and financially successful books?

Larroca sucks! photo referenced Photoshopped bullshit! sawyer as Tony Stark? Fuck off!

Did you even read the old X-Force?, from the 90's. they were amazing. They are better than some of the X-Men teams and titles today.

I'm gonna love this title. Cable back with the X-Force, about time as well. He reunited with Domino too, that's pretty cool. Not thrilled about Colossus being on the team, I would of prefer Warpath. I wish Boom Boom was on the team. So what does mean for Cable and Hope, will he still be her protector. What about Uncanny X-force, will that still be a around. Bring on November and December, can't wait. Jean and Cable are back, amazing.

WHAT???? OH COME ON!!!

First they turn Colossus into the new Juggernaut, THEN they make him insane with god-like power (and strain his relationship with Illyana further), and now THIS??? This should NOT be happening to my #2 favorite Marvel hero (and my #1 favorite X-Men character). This just downright stinks!!!

Also, WHY is Forge there, and why overhaul Dr. Nemesis's look? I liked the retro look he had.
