Why not just do one X-Men title a month with 10 issues? You have like 11 titles and I know some of them aren’t in the same continuity. But this just the same old Uncanny X-Men with a new titled slapped on. Oh, they kill lots. Just look at those red blots of ink on the pages.

Why Puck? Because he rules! Will be buying this solely because he’s in it, although Psylocke adds to the reasons. You can never have enough Alpha Flight members in an ongoing comic.

If the main Xmen books were writing more than a handful of characters competently, we wouldn’t need two or even one great xforce book. As it is we now have two Scott’s two Bobby’s two Hanks two Warrens (kind of) Jean Magneto Magic Logan and Emma. Same handful of characters that have been the focus for the past number of years. It’s time for a major shift if you ask me. I also think that part of the reason that Uncanny Xforxe was such a success to begin with – the characters were great, different, and it felt new. I look forward to this but wish we had new blood on the three flagship Xmen books. And I don’t mean new characters we’ve gr plenty of great but ignored ones.

I was just thinking that we need two X-Force books.

So Cluster is just going to be Eva honouring Fantomex? cuz’ you know that’s obvious and makes sense.

Hope I’m wrong in a way because it’ll be a nice surprise, but I liked Fantomex and Eva so hopefully it’s her.

My guess for the other character will be Rachel Grey. There was a picture of her with the codename “Hound” that was up for a quick moment and pulled back down off of a Tumblr site labeled by. It was VERY similar in design to the X-force redesigns by Anka, only there were spikes on her arms. This would make a lot of sense and she would be a great fit to this team. It does seem they have upped her attitude and power quotient and seem to have been referring to her days as a hound for a while now. Really dig her using the codename as well if that was a real design. Sage is going to show up in X-treme it seems from the covers and preview art from an upcoming issue.

Why are the obscure X-Men characters getting the biggest pushes from Marvel? I say Gambit needs to be in more X-Men books over Puck, and I am Canadian and enjoy Alpha Flight!

Will this Uncanny X-Force be a self-contained stand-alone series, or will I have to read Cable and X-Force, too?

Thanks for taking time to answer our questions.

1-Any chance Sage will be making a return in Uncanny X-Force?

2-Since Spiral is earning redemption (at least appears so) is there room for Bishop to redeem himself too?

3-Why Puck?
