hate the art for the cover, Betsy has no hips and shoulders that would make the hulk jealous

 

[Havok83]

I love the art. The only thing I dont like is how Warren's wings are drawn bc they look more like a cape

 

[javi1024]

The last theme was claws and knives and this time it seems its all about the guns with everyone but Wolverine...lol

Deadpool and Fantomex look horrible.

Awesome t:

 

[Manic]

The Attempt: Let's add random black stripes and blotches to Fantomex's normally all-white costume and hope it doesn't look like s***.

The Result: S***

 

[x-fan]

I meant the other pic, this one isn't terrible

 

[Manic]

You mean the one drawn by Greg Land? Yeah, Betsy is so hipless that it looks like her slash will fall off if she puts her legs together.

 

[x-fan]

Is that who drew it, it's god awful.

 

[Havok83]

Love Fantomex's new costume. Much better than his old look

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Glad somebody does lol

 

[squeekness]

I liked his old look, the all white, better.

 

[Charlie Boy]

Oh damn.

 

[UraniaChang]

I hope Besty doesn't look into a mirror...or did Marvel already make her become a vampire?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I will not purchase this on the merit that it has two of my favorites in it. I will not purchase this because...

I'm totally gonna buy it, and I bet it's gonna suck.

 

[squeekness]

I'll buy it and hope for the best. It's got people in it that I like. At worst, it can't be a sucky as Uncanny has been lately, right?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

No, but seriously, why do they have to have the black and white/black and grey inkblot costumes?

Deadpool, Psylocke, and Fantomex look like ****.

 

[x-fan]

Yeah they should all wear the x-force costumes since they are in x-force.

 

[chris moore]

Oh for the love of... #@&%. More guns, more characters switching to "Killing's a-okay", and more bloody Deadpool!

Marvel is pleased to unveil the top-secret lineup of the all-new, all-deadly Uncanny X-Force, making their debut in X-MEN: SECOND COMING #2! In the jaw dropping finale of the critically acclaimed Second Coming, sacrifices have been made and now, the savior of mutankind will rise! After the devastation from Bastion‘s forces, the X-Men must band together and rebuild, but one group has other plans! When a secret society resurrects the feared villain Apocalypse,Wolverine‘s brand new black-ops team is the only strong enough to take him down – by any means necessary. Be the first to get in on the non-stop, explosive action this October as Rick Remender and Jerome Opena bring you the all-new ongoing series, UNCANNY X-FORCE!
And as a special treat for Marvel.com readers, here’s Mr. Remender himself to tell us all about the new team!

Wolverine
“His philosophy on dealing with the threats that face mutants, and the Marvel Universe in general, diverge from those of most other heroes. He and the members of X-Force have each been twisted, programmed and manipulated by unpleasant people. They struggle to overcome their past, yet they accept that they are killers, each capable of the hard resolutions. They are stained, so it falls on their shoulders to do the ugly yet necessary jobs, to take out bad people who’ve earned such severe methodology. Wolverine and his co-captain Warren see eye-to-eye on the need for X-Force, and the need to keep it a secret.”
Fantomex
“Weapon XIII was created by Weapon Plus to be the devil-may-care, international, super spy with a worldly distingué that the ladies love; the kid-friendly super hero face that would help the public digest his new band of Sentinels and their intended mutant genocide. Something went wrong, he escaped and has instead served to aid mutants and humanity. Described as a ‘maze of mirrors,’ he is unknowable, perhaps even to himself. Misdirection is his primary trick; he has a couple brains, maybe one is misdirecting the other. Wolverine thinks he steals to keep his mind off what Weapon Plus made him for: killing. He is a man without a purpose, he hopes X-Force will give him some.”
Deadpool
“In it for Warren’s money. So he’d tell you.”
Archangel
“Warren and Logan serve as co-captains with the understanding that when you set out to kill a man you should have a sounding board; two heads are better than one and a good idea in assuring that the target is absolutely deserving of X-Force’s severe brand of settlement. Warren has philosophically begun to diverge from [Cyclops] and the X-Men; he still believes in Xavier’s dream of integration as a feasible reality, but he has some very different ideas on the means. Warren is struggling with something inside, some other thing. The Uncanny X-Force’s first adventure won’t be easy on him. No. It might be bad.”
Psylocke
“Betsy is conflicted. Her mind splintered and repaired, her life ended and renewed, and just in time to watch what is seemingly the end of days for mutantkind. She has been doing some deep soul searching within the team’s new base, Cavern-X, and spending much time mediating on the severe turn her life and mind have taken since entering the Siege Perilous. She’s looking for a way to reconnect with some part of who she was while using the abilities she has to save the world, and other mutants, more pain.”

i hope this will lead to alot of Warren and Betsy time. no one has done anything with them since she was resurrected.

 

[BoredGuy]

I would be reluctant about this new line-up, what with all the swords and guns and deadpool and all....

But the interviews I've read with Rick Remender sound really promising. I enjoy his perspective on the team. Plus anything that might be able to make Apocalypse a badass again is okay in my book.


ps. I also like Fantomex's new outfit, even if it is a little GIJoe...Deadpool, not as much...

 

[Heffer Wolf]

Fantomex looks like he got attacked by a lame tribal tattoo. And deadpool is just a black and white version of himself.

Also, just read the last part of seond coming and X-Force [BLACKOUT]being even a secret from Cyclops now has me interrested.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[squeekness]

Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see if :

Spoiler

...they can keep that secret for any great legnth of time. 'Pool does so like to blab. The mysteriousness does add to the appeal, but the roster alone is enough to keep me buying this book. If only Logan could have snagged Gambit...

 

[Heffer Wolf]

Yeah, I really like this line up. Wolverine and Archangel co-leading could be cool (especialy when Warren flips out once Apocalypse comes) Psylocke is one of my favorite X-Women, Fantomex is alright, and despite it being cool to hate Deadpool because hes got a million books, I love me some Deadpool.

But they should be in proper X-Force costumes. Grey and Black, But maybe they couldn't get a tailor in time since they are all super duper hush hush now.

also, the name is kind of dumb, Uncanny X-Force. Meh.
