My thoughts:

  • Why does Cable have a nick fury eyepatch? And why the anime mech arm?
  • Colossus looks great, but why no juggernaut helmet?
  • I like the color scheme for the team. The addition of the orange works with the gray/black of X-Force.
  • Forge looks good except for the wrestling boots.
  • Poor, poor Dr. Nemesis. You were iconic and unique, and now you're a knockoff GI Joe villain.

His arm & eye had the TO virus without it there is nothing their so prosthetic/mech arm & eye patch is needed

Colossus doesn't wear that helmet all the time. when he wants too or when he gets pissed it materializes

He is adjusting his weight to one foot, or the right side of his body. If he was standing completely straight up, he'd be about 7'5".

nice roster, glad we finally know what happens to Collosus after avx and it will be interesting to see how he deals with his sister still bein with Scott & Emma, but it makes me sick to stomach that Uncanny X-Force will be over...

good to see Forge & Domino getting some limelight again tho

Damn. I'm enjoying the current 'adjective-less' X-Men team of Storm, Pixie, Psylocke, Domino and Colossus; Brian Wood and David Lopez are crafting a fantastic run. I knew it wouldn't last, but it still sucks knowing it'll end.

Yup. Looks like the Domino/Colossus business going on there, somewhat bleeds into here.

This looks awesome!! Cable in the lead! Forge is back! Domino in a key team role! This seems like a good fit for Colossus after his "Phoenossonaut" days! And I'm loving that Dr. Nemesis redesign! Finally, something that interests me about Marvel NOW!

I agree! Heck, anything X-related without Wolverine is good to me!

@Zoch81: That's too bad, but you always have to keep an open mind about new writers/characters. Who knew the new Uncanny X-force was going to be good? I remember people having issues when they removed warpath, x-23 etc, but people enjoy the series a great deal.

Colossus wearing braces? No thanks. What the hell has the cool Dr. Nemesis done, he looks ridiculous. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, dumb ass designers.

Why Salvador Larroca?? He's terrible.

Apart from Cable and maybe Colossus, this is an awful lineup.

Suck Deadpool isn't on this. Yes. I know he's in Thunderbolts.

WHAT???? OH COME ON!!!

First they turn Colossus into the new Juggernaut, THEN they make him insane with god-like power (and strain his relationship with Illyana further), and now THIS??? This should NOT be happening to my #2 favorite Marvel hero (and my #1 favorite X-Men character). This just downright stinks!!!

Also, WHY is Forge there, and why overhaul Dr. Nemesis's look? I liked the retro look he had.

All just your individual opinions. Larroca is far from terrible. The lineup is incredible. I'm glad Deadpool isn't in this book... all my opinions.

I'm gonna love this title. Cable back with the X-Force, about time as well. He reunited with Domino too, that's pretty cool. Not thrilled about Colossus being on the team, I would of prefer Warpath. I wish Boom Boom was on the team. So what does mean for Cable and Hope, will he still be her protector. What about Uncanny X-force, will that still be a around. Bring on November and December, can't wait. Jean and Cable are back, amazing.

this looks like a return to the old sucky X-force! I'm honestly surprised they didn't get Leifeld to do it. Why would they fuck with one of there most critically and financially successful books?

Larroca sucks! photo referenced Photoshopped bullshit! sawyer as Tony Stark? Fuck off!

Did you even read the old X-Force?, from the 90's. they were amazing. They are better than some of the X-Men teams and titles today.

Cable's arm belongs on a Gundam. But this looks good . Plus Domino and Colossus cool. Glad Colossus doesn't have the Juggernaut powers he was a junkie with those powers.

why does dr nemesis need a costume? he's always been very behind the scenes. and it looks ridiculous.

why are they being announced as deadly? that's dumb. also, why would they be hunted by the avengers especially since half the time is comprised of mutants?

don't ruin x-force's name after it's been so good these past few years.

however, the new costume for colossus and his placement on this team are pretty cool.

Maybe coz he hasnt used real left arm muscles since he was a baby? That mechanical arm may be just a brace for now.

Plus, the artist probably thought it looks cool... which it aint.

I'm intrigue by this, so i'll give it a shot.

But please... when it comes to the costumes... sometimes LESS IS MORE.

i'd hate to see a return to "Liefeld" style aesthetics

Wow, this is gonna be so awesome......thats like a dream team really, only question i have is, when did Nemesis become a mutant lol?

My pull list is getting smaller on the DC side if they keep rolling out good stuff like this (please, please, please don't screw this up Marvel). I wonderm if thats the real reason why DC's doing all kinds of shuffling of teams and books and pushing for crossovers and rushing plots along before they were prepared to. Seems like they are a little scared, and they should be.

Love this site so much, its the only site that really matters when you, get down to it, at the end of the day, bottomline, come hell or highwater, thanks for doing what you all do so well.
