actually now that there are three promos there is a link between all of them....it's the Age of Apocalypse....Legacy had Legion, New Mutants had X-man and well 616 Blink, and now X-Force has the AoA X-men
" Versus the Age of Apocalypse? And suddenly I've lost all respect for this new series... "Completely agree! Let the AOA be! It is done, they really need to just leave that universe alone. Nothing good has happened to it since it ended. It was a great story, had some great characters come out of it and remain in the 616-universe, but otherwise it needs to stay away from the regular universe
" Versus the Age of Apocalypse? And suddenly I've lost all respect for this new series... "there HAS to be something that you like!!!!!

I *like* Uncanny X-Force (even if it has the dorkiest title ever), but it's only 2 story arcs in and it's crossing over with/re-hashing the Ages of Apocalypse? Just the month after the Age of X has finished?

i love Xforce and AOA but this fight seems both kind of weird and one sided to me , its on my list so will just have to wait and see i guess.

It does seem extremely premature. Marvel and there Money Making schemes :(
I wonder what today's MMXI will be... The new adjectiveless X-Men or Generation Hope? I'm sure they'll save Uncanny X-Men for last...
Do you think it's due to how the series is doing, or do you think they have no choice but to be dragged into the crossover with the rest of the titles?
Some updates from Remender
"It's tricky because we've announced that they're coming up, but we don't want to spoil too much...we have a group of X-Men and X-Force that will go to the Age of Apocalypse world...it's connected to some of the different arcs we've done in the book."
The writer and Lowe said that the Dark Beast character from the original "Age of Apocalypse" series will play a large role not just in the coming arc but the future of "Uncanny X-Force" as a whole. "This is not just a fun 'Age of Apocalypse' story that will have no bearing on the Marvel Universe. It will have a HUGE impact on the 616,"
Aaaand a lil more
"Archangel is not there for a reason, and it's a reason you don't expect." the writer said of the absence of the winged X-Forcer from the book's teaser and cover. He also said that they're looking for a natural way to expand the team membership. "While there are some new members coming up, I don't think people will see it coming."
I bet they're going to absorbed hand-picked AoA members into the roster :p
They'd better now kill off Angel... grrrr...
I agree 150% about Angel, I hope they don't bring in AoA Nightcrawler. Just don't seem right
I was under the impression that AoA Sabretooth was in the evil version of the Exiles *shrugs* It also doesn't make sense that Jean Grey is all Phoenixy in this image, but she's wearing her classic red, blue & black AoA outfit in the new image:
Yea I think xerox-kitty is right about everything starting off fresh for this event. At this point I'm too worried about Angel to do much speculation
@Nefilim927: "Not there for a reason" is worrying, but at the same time they did elaborate on the fact that they want to focus on his relationship with Betsy... so that's alleviated my worries about killing him off. But it's still pretty damned cryptic.
Wow, I actually think that this story has great potential and I liked the ten year anniversary of AoA. I hope that Sabretooth joins X-Force, and Nightcrawler for that matter. Just because you don't agree that this is a good thing (and haven't read it yet) doesn't mean it won't be and (even if you don't wind up liking it) people other than you probably will. Sometimes people just can't appreciate something for what it is and let it ride. I for one have wanted to see more from AoA for a while and with X-Force involved I have high expectations. I guess haters gotta hate and lovers gotta love.
