Stryfe? STRYFE? Holy balls, ph33r.

 

[El Bastardo]

By that definition, they should be running into Cable & the baby while she's still a baby. Less than a full year has passed by in the "present" but 7 years have passed for Cable & Hope. If we're looking at relative time travel, then Scott's team will find Cable still holding a nameless toddler.

Besides, we already know that Cable & Hope's positions in time are more or less solidly placed. We found that out when Bishop traveled to the same day twice to try to kill them. It happened in the first couple of issues of Cable.

Huh, I'd forgotten about that. Well played, sir.

Well, fine. WE know that, but Cyclops doesn't. So, Mister Leader Man has to make the right call. Hey, it works.

 

[OutcryX]

Stryfe? STRYFE? Holy balls, ph33r.

yeah, Stryfe, where have you been? Ah, yes...not here...and yes...we have been b****ing and moaning about his return as long as its been announced.

 

[UraniaChang]

He's busy putting together his notes of how much time and attention Scott bestowes on Cable but not him.

Marvel really should let Stryfe and Vulcan meet each other.

Stryfe/Vulcan: NOBODY CARES ABOUT US!! I'M/WE'RE AS MUCH IMPORTANT AS ALEX/CABLE TO MY BROTHER/FATHER!! AND NOBODY CARES!!! WE'LL KILL AND WHINE UNTIL CYCLOPS KISSES AND CUDDLES US!

yeah, Stryfe, where have you been? Ah, yes...not here...and yes...we have been b****ing and moaning about his return as long as its been announced.

Stryfe is AWESEOME! His suits so shiny. Its like a disco ball suit. He'd pwn Dazzler in it thats for sure.

I might be a bit biased.. Executioners song was the first big crossover i ever read.. back when I was about 12, so it all seemed pretty damned cool at the time.

 

[OutcryX]

^^same here, except ii thought that he sucked then, just as he sucks now. Waiting for them to blow our minds and confirm that after all this time that Cable was actually the clone and Stryfe is the real nathan christopher

 

[El Bastardo]

yeah, Stryfe, where have you been? Ah, yes...not here...and yes...we have been b****ing and moaning about his return as long as its been announced.

Pfft, stop your b****ing, sweet cheeks. And buckle up. This is going to be fun!

 

[OutcryX]

oh, so help you bastardo, it had better be, if not..well..it just had better be

 

[Ace of Knaves]

So anyone else read the Messiah War Prologue yet? It's frickin bad ass. Seriously, some of the best art i have seen in a comic book EVER.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Reading it now

 

[Ion Kenshin]

I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

The art sure was great. Loved the joke about James flying

 

[GambitXremy]

yost and kyle get alot of heat but they do know how to write a book i'll give them that

 

[Colossal Spoons]

They're fine when they're not killing....which is 40% of the time

 

[cerealkiller182]

Deadpool was awesome as always.

"Logan, I can feel you in my head. Are you a telepath now?"

 

[TheVileOne]

Didn't Wolverine slice off Deadpool's head once?

I think that Yost and Kyle anger fans so much with their kill teasing is why they are so awesome.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Anybody notice one of his eyes looked all fake and glassy?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Didn't Wolverine slice off Deadpool's head once?

Yeah, and Bob just stood there and watched

 

[TheVileOne]

So Deadpool can grow his entire head back? or did they reattach his old head?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

His body found it and reattached it I believe. It was pretty ridiculous lol

 

[cerealkiller182]

I think that Yost and Kyle anger fans so much with their kill teasing is why they are so awesome.

meh.....


I think why I like this book is its one of the better if not best portrayals of Wolverine. Strong, confident leader who's very aware and concerned about the dark path he and his team could go down because of these missions they go on.

They are like the Michael Bay of comic writing. Fun action fluff. Exciting enough to be entertaining, but not interesting enough to be memorable (in the long run)

 

[TheVileOne]

People get so frothing over X-Force yet they keep coming back for more.

 

[bryanss3]

^^^
I wish they made an X-Force cartoon. I'd so watch that and not B**** about Wolverine constantly like I do with WATXM.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

People get so frothing over X-Force yet they keep coming back for more.

A lot of people have actually dropped it. It's not hard to find out what happened though. If it's confirmed that Hellion&Surge are dead, I'm done w/ the book as soon as Messiah War ends. I promise you that.
