A boring one

unless Storm is in full 80s punk/leader of the morlocks mode..I ain't interested.

[def28]

Ill ck it out but that is an odd line up. Wish they could have X23, AOA Nightcrawler or Warpath added on there. Odd team to call X Force. New Thunderbolts team seems more appropriate for that title.

First villain of the new Uncanny X-Force team also revealed:

The Marvel.com interview also revealed the first villain of the series: Bishop. Cable, the leader of the other X-Force team and series, was of course chased through time with Hope at his side by his fellow time traveler, and Storm has a prior relationship with the man with the M tattoo. Bishop will be greatly affected by his final destination after Cable scrambled his time traveling ways. "He was abandoned in the year 6300 AD," Humphries told Marvel.com. "The dude has been alone, thousands of years in the future. A man goes through a lot of changes trying to get from 6300 AD to the present day. It is going to be an ugly reunion all around."

I'm really looking forward to both X-Force's. Both of the teams are interesting. Uncanny is supposed to have more members in the first few issues and with the initial lineup it's nearly impossible to predict who they can be. That makes it much more exciting to me.

Oh, and Bishop as the villian. **** yeah.

[def28]

Yeah with a story involving Bishop the teams should crossover into one another. Interesting that Betsy is the only one so far to stay in X Force of the current members.

So is AoA Nightcrawler gonna die or is he sticking around?
Most AoA characters seem to be cannon fodder.

[OutcryX]

X-Man is still (back) kicking around. Dark beast too..somewhere...Sugar man and Holocaust...who knows? did AoA Blink ever make it to the 616? i know the real Blink is back (and awesome)

I thought Holocaust died in AoA and his 616 counterpart, Genocide, was the kid we saw nuke Montana in Dark Angel Saga.

[OutcryX]

*shrugs* idk

Genocide is, indeed, the 616 counterpart of Nemesis/Holocaust from the AoA.

Holocaust was, however, brought into the 616 after the AoA ended. He had something to do with Shaw at one point, but I don't remember what title it was in. After that, though, I'm not sure. Didn't he wind up in Bedard's run on Exiles? I want to say he was the one killed by... Hyperion, I think.

[Specter313]

Yeah, Hyperion literally snorted him up.

[OutcryX]

I liked Holocaust, I think. I still remember the fight (or non fight) with Blink after he gutted Sabretooth in the AoA...Iconic. AoA Blink >>> 616 Blink

same can be said for Sabretooth and Wildchild too

[El Bastardo]

I love every single issue of Age of Apocalypse, and when I started collecting comics with my own money, those were the first I bought. I even have some duplicates, and they're all in seriously good condition.

Back when Lobdell could still write decent stuff and MAD! was a regular comics artist. Them's the days. I think I'm tearing up.

[joshtylen]

There are three more members to come in Humphrie's book. One we've seen before, one we haven't seen in years who no one will guess and one he can't say anything about.

I knew I liked you for some reason, you Bastardo, you!

[El Bastardo]

You mean lots of reasons - that is, if you have any taste.

[Specter313]

[JustABill]

Ugh. The hawk is back.

[Havok83]

Puck looks so out of place with all that estrogen.

Who the heck is this Lady Fantomex? Is that EVA?

[def28]

Yeah has to be EVA. Looks like she has hair though. Maybe something happens at the end of Remenders run, would be odd to have any another character in that suit.

[Colossal Spoons]

Not touching that book
