some info on the new Uncanny X Force
The Marvel NOW! train continues to roll on, and with Rick Remender’s Uncanny X-Force close to wrapping up, that paves the way for a new number one issue and a new creative team on what’s been one of Marvel’s best books over the past 2 years. Earlier today, Marvel Comics hosted a press conference featuring new Uncanny X-Force writer Sam Humphries and X-Books line editor Nick Lowe to discuss what readers can expect this January from Uncanny X-Force.
Out of the gate, Sam Humphries explained that some of the details of the book be discussed or divulged for fear of spoiling or revealing how Remender’s run ends, but Humphries promised to do his best to provide some insight into the book. Before getting into the details of the book, both Humphries and Lowe expressed how excited they were for fans to see Ron Garney’s art on the book. Lowe explained that Garney was being inked by Danny Miki and would continue the dynamic look and feel of the title adding that “Ron is kicking so much ass on the pages.”
As far as details of the book, here’s the details we were able to glean from the call:
The events of the book have a direct tie to the end of Remender’s run on Uncanny X-Force
The new team consists of Psylocke, Storm, Puck (from Alpha Flight), Spiral and a new character named Cluster (but referred to as Lady Fantomex)
More information on Cluster comes in Uncanny X-Force #35
The team will feature other characters that have not been revealed yet
The villain is Bishop, who has returned from the future
The first story will be set in Los Angeles
With the details out of the way, Sam Humphries classic style of enthusiasm was present when discussing Uncanny X-Force. Stressing the fringe aspect of Uncanny X-Force, he explained that while the team has evolved and changed from the original “Mutant ? Squad” mandate, they’re still the edge team of the X-Men Universe, willing to go and do the things that the other teams won’t, or can’t. Humphries explained, “My mandate is to deliver something you can’t find anywhere else. There’s a real freedom in that… your job is to do the crazy thing…”I promise you, Marvel will occasionally regret giving me that freedom.” Humphries further went on to expand on the position the characters are in, ranging from Psylocke, who’s been affected by the events of Remender’s run; Storm, who’s been recently dumped by the Black Panther; Spiral, who has a long history of conflict with Psylocke; and Puck, who, coming from Canada and Alpha Flight plays the role of the wildcard. Lowe specifically compared Puck to Fantomex in Remender’s run, promising that Puck will be the breakout star of the book.
With all these details about story and characters answered, I was left with one question for Humphries:
iFanboy: What is Psyclocke getting the other team members for Christmas?
Sam Humphries: If there was an Uncanny X-Force Secret Santa, Psylocke would be the least enthusiastic in participaing in such a thing right now… What Puck would give everyone in the Secret Santa would be a hunting knife, and some beer. And probably some buffalo steak from a buffalo he just killed.
Nick Lowe: Betsy would just give gift cards. We’ll get a sponsor for Uncanny X-Force and then we can have her give American Express gift cards.
With that important question out of the way, Uncanny X-Force #1, written by Sam Humphries with art by Ron Garney, comes out in January 2013. You can see the cover to the first 3 issues, plus some black and white Garney art from issue #1 below:

The new Uncanny X-Force dropped yesterday. It's now Psylocke's team.
-
I'm not really feeling this new team. Hopefully a heavy hitter will come aboard if not this team is the weakest team Xforce has ever had.
lol at Fantomex kissing his female self also
It explains why Psylocke is mad. -

Plus, she has a LONG standing gripe against Spiral. Rogue and the Scarlet Witch as teammates will seem like best friends compared to Spiral and Psylocke.

yea I dont see how Psylocke and Spiral will get along is she free of Shadow King?

Last I remember Cyclops had locked the Shadow King in a black telepathic box. So I was confused when he was in Uncanny X-force. (Yes I've been reading X-titles for years.) I think that Shadow King is from AoA.

So I just finished the original 37 issues.
Was impressed initially.
Was put off by the sudden change of artist and the subpar works that followed.
Story wise I was digging it.The Archangel Arc was great, but after that was a bit too much for me. Time traveling, dimension jumps, and omniverse nonsense ain't my cup of tea. Felt like they were just complicating for the sake of complicating.
I liked all the characters. Great to see a series where all the team members get to shine in every issue. Loved Dead Pools dialogue. Fantomex was surprisingly good as well. Wolverine was wolverine.
Psylocke wasn't what I expected. Granted it's been years since I've seen her character, so the woman I remember is from the Mutant Genesis and X- Excutioners Song days. Over a decade of foggy impressions. All I remember is a sexy ninja assassin that was seducing Cyclops. Her being the guilty conscious of the team was surprising and disappointing of my previous impression. I thought she would fit the idea of the team well, but seems to me she ain't have the stomach for it. Not to take away from her many efforts that saved the team. And apparently she died and been resurrected before ... interesting.
Archangel excelled my expectations as a hero and a bad guy. Fell into the role of super villain very well. Surprising and well done. I'd say him and Betsy both bit off more than they could chew with X Force. They didn't have the spine to do what the kind of jobs X Force takes and that was ultimately the groups down fall I say. -
Cable & X-Force vs. Uncanny X-Force coming in January. I was waiting on this crossover since both books came out.
Hope and Cable are not going to be happy to see Bishop again.
