I have a feeling that this was intended to be a six-issue arc instead of five and the change came too late for Hopeless to revise his plotline. This is where the Colossus issue comes in: he was a crucial part of X-Force’s infiltration of the factory, but we never see the infiltration happen. and then the final issue in the collection skips forward again to an uncertain point. By the end, we know who the truth, catching up to what the Uncanny Avengers are seeing. The book begins with the Uncanny Avengers catching the team in what appears to be a slaughter of innocent factory workers. But his involvement interferes with the constant flash-forwards and flashbacks that Hopeless uses to set up the team’s unusual situation. It’s not that the character choice was a bad one his post-Phoenix Force regret and need for absolution is in character. X-Men’s sales to bring in readers by having Colossus and Hope (Cable’s adopted daughter) get involved.Ĭolossus illustrates one of the weaknesses of the book. Hopeless used the momentum of Avengers vs.
Nemesis - a character left out in the cold a bit with Beast’s involvement in All-New X-Men. The same goes for recruiting the X-Club’s resident mad scientist Dr. Domino is an obvious choice, but fixing Forge’s brain and having him become Cable’s technical support was a very cool move. Where Uncanny went with unusual choices like Spiral and Puck just to keep fans interested, it’s clear that Cable knows exactly who he wants for his team and why. Conversely, Cable and X-Force is a covert team of mutants with questionable pasts and a desire to stay away from the main teams.Ī second advantage Cable and X-Force had over Uncanny X-Force was in its character selection. This has been a problem that Uncanny X-Force struggled with ever since its launch a few years back with the all-black outfits. The idea of a private X-assassin team operating out of a children’s school stretches the suspension of disbelief too far. While Uncanny X-Force had the star power of Storm and Psylocke, it also shared them with Astonishing X-Men, Adjectiveless X-Men, Wolverine and the X-Men, and the other books based out of the Jean Grey School. The first volume is Cable and X-Force Vol.

Dennis Hopeless and Salvador Larroca’s series won, at least in the sense that the books merged into a team led by Cable after a crossover. As a result, they made an interesting decision: “Let’s try both and see what happens." Unlike the multiple Avengers titles, there’s not a wide enough readership for multiple X-Force books, so there was a sense that only one format would survive. On the other hand, readers were clamoring for the return of classic X-Force characters, especially since Cannonball and Sunspot had been upgraded to Avengers. On the one hand, Rick Remender’s weirder and more continuity-laden Uncanny X-Force had been a hit.
