The conclusion to the first X-Force story arc is almost complete, and features Wolverine, Angel, and the rest of the X-Force battling the Purifiers. Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue.
With Archangel getting his wings all changed up, readers are wanting to know what happened - to keep up with demand, Marvel has announced it is sending X-Force #5 back to press.
It was not only a big step for Scott Summers, but a similarly big step for Marvel to set up X-Force with their own book. Now, four issues in, from my side of the fence, I think their decision has been rewarded by four well done books.
Granted, give me a series on Wolverine and my biases may not necessarily allow me to see clearly.
Marvel Comics has announced Uncanny X-Men #495, X-Force #1, Wolverine #62, and X-Factor #28 have sold out at the distributor level, and the Divided We Stand storyline will be going back to press for another print run.
“I hope people are realizing that this is a new era for the X-Men,” said editor Nick Lowe. “We started the ball rolling with Endangered Species, kicked it into high gear with Messiah CompleX. Now Divided We Stand is showing the effects of both of those and leading to something even bigger. We’re just getting started and it’s a whole new world.”
All four issues will feature variant covers (see them after the jump).
Editor John Barber explained, “It’s great to see everybody—retailers and fans alike—this excited about all the pretty bold move, and it’s a great book. That doesn’t always mean a series will sell so well, but it’s gratifying when it does. Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost put together a powerful story, and Clayton Crain’s art is something to behold. It shows you can take chances with these comics, and people will take a look.”
The second printings all arrive March 19.
Things are going to get bloody for X-Force as they find themselves surrounded by Purifiers. What’s a mutant to do? Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the second issue of the series.
