Comics Official X-FORCE Discussion Thread

I liked it. I'm glad its over, but I liked it. Hopefully they bring Kiden back in something, I really liked her. But yeah, nothing changed.

Spoiler

I can't wait for them to get back to the story from before this. X getting back to her X and hopefully taking out Leper Queen, Domino and Warpath are all F'ed up, Wolverine, Elixer, and Archangel hopefully saving Surge and Hellion, and Vanisher...Vanishing. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Hellion

Spoiler

survives. He is seen in the Dark Avengers/X-men Utopia oneshot which is the most current title chronologically in the X-world. Its not just some artist mistake, but he's named and fighting alongside the X-men. I also read that he will be used as part of the supporting cast in Legacy

 

[squeekness]

^^I wouldn't mind that last bit about Hellion.

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

yeah, theyve been showing Surge in Uncanny a lot lately too.

 

[TheVileOne]

I like X-Force a lot, but I have no idea what happened in the last issue.

 

[squeekness]

I found the last pages a bit confusion. I am guessing that the team got separated, but I couldn't quite follow what happened with Laura. Is she in the future still or back in real time? It was confusing...

I read it like 5 times to understand it:

Spoiler

Archangel flew Wolverine and Elixer to the U.N. so when they take off their armbands, they are there and ready to save Hellion and Surge. Warpath flew Domino and Laura to where they originaly came in at, but Warpath was too tired and dropped them all. Domino fell on her head and was messed up, so Laura cut off Dominos armband, and continued on to get to the X she made on the ground to go save boom boom. She was getting all sick because staying in that time line was killing her.

Hopefully, that makes sense.

 

[squeekness]

Thanks, that did help.

Why was it killing them though? Was there some sort of techno-virus?

It was only a temporary thing though, and now Apocalypse is back at full power again. Angel didn't finish the job.

Its not the first time. He was allied with them during X-Cutioner's Song

Nope... it was because they were artificially in the wrong time. so their bodies just started degrading. Thats why they only had so many hours to complete the mission and return.

I think a lot of this story was a silent dedication to X-Cutioners Song. Loved the Stryfes Strike Files in the first issue.

 

[TheVileOne]

Those rules of time travel never came up in X-men before .

Does that mean when they go back to their own time they get better?

It actually looked like Josh couldn't get his arm band off in time and disappeared.

Wait, what? When? The last thing I remember about Josh is Archangel flying him and Logan to the UN. Then Angel passed out and dropped them.

Well there have been different methods used for time travel. Most time travel we've seen has occured from someone in the future (where the technology is much more advanced) coming to the present. What X-force used this time was some device created by Beast. He's a genetic scientist, not an engineer. He did his best to try and replicate Forge's old work, but he couldnt perfect the device. Bc of that, it had limitations. For a modern day deviced built on current technology from someone without any experience on it, this was a pretty good attempt. I felt this explanation given was perfect and didnt really contradict what we've seen before too much

In the panel where they land, Wolverine is all "Get the armbands off!", Josh is glowing and appears to teleport away.

ok. got the comic in front of me now. Archangel is flying. Archangel drops them. Wolverine says tear 'em off now!! yeah, Elixer is disapearing, but you can see his arm band coming off. it looks like a wristwatch. and apparently time traveling makes a VVVZZZXX!! noise.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, I noticed his arm band falling off but why the hell is he glowing while Logan and Warren aren't? Haha

 

[Chamber_UK]

Well the guy has metalic gold skin, so maybe he's just reflecting light.

Normally don't stay this to other comicbook fans, but "i think we're reading into it too much"

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I wish I had a scan so I could post the pic haha

 

[squeekness]

Here's the whole ending --

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, look at Elixir. He's going somewhere

 

[squeekness]

I see the team all splitting up to do different things. I suspect by the upcoming covers that Laura never makes it to Boom Boom, that she gets nabbed by someone looking to load her up with metaL.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

So excited about that X-23 business

 

[Heffer Wolf]

Not to keep on the subject, because yeah, we are kind of looking into it too much, but I think Elxer was just first to get his armband off.

Also, I am genuinly excited to see what happens next.
