I don't like Dr. Nemesis's suit. I do really like the character tho. Hope he's written the right way. When did Forge come back from the dead? He's such and underreated character.

Forge is back, Colossus has hair, Domino is the mix, Dr. Nemesis and Kabal from MK3 have the same tailor, and Cable probably had Forge rig that arm thing up and looks like he's ordered a Solid Eye system from Otacon. I'll give it a shot.

Wait wasn't Forge dead

Do you still believe in things like that? LOL

BUT, Forge died in a very very lame story (I personally think that was the worst X-Men story I've ever read). If they just pretend it never happened, I'm ok with it.

They cancelled Uncanny X-Force in favor of Cable and X-Force right?

I'm actually happy, because UXF is ending while it's still awesome, they didn't make it run forever only for the money!

I would have picked this series up for Larroca's art, but since Hopless has his name on it I will not. It is good to see Colossus with hair again though.

Is this the first time we've seen a free digital copy sticker on a 2.99 book? Is it just a typo on the promo cover, or is this really the case? And if this 2.99 book has a free digital copy, does that mean all Marvel NOW titles will regardless of price?

Finally Colossus doesn't look like a standard bruiser anymore! (at least a Jug-based bruiser anyways.) Hopefully he returns to be the badass mutant he always was before the whole selling your soul to the Phoenix while possessing Cytorrak thing.

Was never a Cable fan, and TBH, think he's a dinosaur from the everything has to be grim n gritty era. Never 'got' Domino, as i don't understand her appeal at all, and Forge is better at behind the scenes role. Nemesis' new look , though, is 100 percent better than it was.

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.

I'm psyched about Colossus and Domino...not so psyched about the rest of them. But, since Colossus is one of my all time favorite characters I will be getting this

this is like so dope. one of the best cover reveals from the whole Marvel NOW! lot. I do need them to explain how the heck Forge came back tho. As long as he is not same crazy guy he was when he died i'm cool with it. also loving the fact that Colossus and Domino are on this team. Cable and Domino make such an awesome team. and Dr. Nemesis looks very cool. This will definitely be on my read list.

I'm actually looking forward to this. I've always been a fan of Forge, and hope they stick to the mystical side of him, and perhaps get Storm and him to reconnect...Cable too, has been one of my favorites. This new X-Force team isn't about "kill first, ask questions later" - I think it's more of finding the threats that are already there...and become proactive with them...there's a slight different, not too sure what but...a slight one. Since Colossus is there, hopefully Magik will show up, especially considering Forge's connection to mysticism. I've always found it interesting that Marvel can't quite seem to deal with magic side of the Marvel Universe, and often times, complicated characters get all mixed up in their shuffles...

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.

Colossus looks great, but why no juggernaut helmet?

He was able to go Juggernaut in issue 18 of UXM which is set after him and Magik losing the PF. And he had all his hair back :D. If the UA are following them, I'd say he might need it.

Woot an X-Book without Wolverine I am shocked. The line up has potential. Cable is one of my favorite comic book characters and Domino and Colossus can be great with good writing. Forge is an interesting addition, hopefully they will address what he has been up to. Dr Nemesis has a history as a Nazi hunter but is in need of more character development. We will finally get to see Cable in action for the 1st time since Avengers - X-Sanction #4 (unless he shows up in AvX #12) and now that he is cured of the TK virus will he have access to his full powers of heil they be conviently weakened like X-Man in New Mutants. This book has a lot to live up to due to how good the recient X-Forec and Uncanny X-Force were. I hope the creative team is up to it.

I will be checking this out. I became a big fan of Domino after reading through the More Recent X-force books. Not sure if I'll keep getting it each month, but its worth taking a look at I think.
