COMICS: CABLE AND X-FORCE And UNCANNY X-FORCE To Merge Into One Series Next Year

Next February, both Cable and X-Force and Uncanny X-Force are being merged and relaunched in Simon Spurrier and Rock-He Kim's X-Force #1. As well as combining members from those two teams, a major new member will be none other than Marrow! Hit the jump for details and artwork.

Marvel may have decided that two X-Force books were two too many as next year will see the launch of X-Force #1 from Simon Spurrier and Rock-He Kim. The new series will combine both titles, but the initial roster will comprise of only Cable, Psylocke, Fantomex, and Marrow. "It's a slick, nasty, oh-so-grim beast that'll cut your throat and blow up your headquarters before you even know it's there," the writer said of the series. "Switch on the news and you've got unmanned drones violating international borders, governments listening in on their enemies — their allies and their own civilians alike, —unregistered aeronautical tech deployed in the field, defected oligarchs dying of radiation poisoning, whistleblowers vilified and so on. So we're playing with a lot of layers here. Factionalism, politics, violence, plus all the very human-level dramas that underpin any good team book." What do you guys think?

I've always hated Marrow such a pointless character. I always took her a a female Wolverine wannabe. So after they created X-23 I'm like what's the point.

@Bl00dwerK totally agree, I thought we were finally rid of Fantomex.

Maybe the change will mean this is the team for the movie? Personally i would like ot see a roaster that consists members from the original team and the Uncanny team from Remender's run, in a more tactical special ops fashion. Going up against Apocalypse.

I never got the hate for Marrow.

Granted, I was also into damaged-goods tough chicks back when she joined the team, so...

I would actually read this if their camouflage is pixelated like on this concept art. That looks rad

All of the X-force books suck.

My guess is the majority of the team will go to either Wolverine or Cyclops.

Not sure why they would bring back Marrow, might as well have brought back Maggot!

Too bad both of the X-Force titles already blow boat-people.

ive been reading both since the beginning....uncanny started reallly well and then went down the toilet quickly... now they are just trying to find their feet again. cable has been pretty consistent, but not great. not liking these redesigns at all, but i will remain open to new things and ideas.

It's definitely not a good time to be a Cable fan. I was really looking forward to seeing Cable sans the Technorganic virus after Cable vs Avengers. But they had to make him handicapped again. And that ridiculous looking arm. Now this business. One less book for me to pick up I guess. Eventually someone will bring Cable back around. And I'll be waiting.

I cancelled both X-Force books fairly early into their runs. Out of this new line-up the only character that really appeals to me is Betsy Braddock, who is not done particularly well these days. At least Cable doesn't have that ridiculous massive arm any more.

Looks good to me. I like the Metal Gear Solid vibe it has going personally.

The digital camouflage on the outfits looks crap.. It looks like they took a texture and just placed the artwork over it. It just looks out of place. And why is everyone so stubby/short? The perspective is just strange.. Not 4 me... pass

Fantomex does absolutely nothing for me. Not sure why, maybe because they keep shoving him in my face at every turn, or just that he seems fairly by-the-numbers.

I'm reasonably skeptical this newest iteration of the team will be able to hold a candle to Remender's "Uncanny" run, but Trudy's right - Deadpool and Forge need to get in on the action.

@ jackwagon

How do you feel like Fantomex is being shoved in your face? Is the four-issue Max miniseries somehow the most ubiquitous title Marvel is publishing without anyone else being aware of it?

Good to see they're letting Rob Liefeld do the art on this one. :/

Well shoot, I've really been enjoying Cable and X-Force but really don't see myself reading this

Idk why Marvel likes to keep changing stat quos, costumes and chracters so often. I get that they're unafraid to take risks but sometime too much change too fast is not good. Once Remender's UXF ended, the series shouldv'e ended. We saw alot of stories climax, with Warren coming fill circle and being reborn blank slate, Logan settling issues with Daken, and Fantomex & Betsy writing the next chapter of their lives. Then came more MARVEL NOW! double X force titles with rosters I could barely care about. This is gonna be the 4th Xforce title within past 2 years. Repeatedly Rebooting a series with more new costumes and rosters does not make it a success, it lowers the quality of it and takes characters that had so much potential (Cable, Fantomex) just look so generic and reusable. This artwork sucks, looks like a jr. high school kid drew it.

Good to see they got Cable down to a manageable size that a human being can recreate in a movie, though.
