Emo Angel returns.

[psycwave]

So does that mean that Warren WILL be able to switch back and forth between wings or what?

[RoguishGurl]

I'm glad that it seems that they will acknowledge why Warren is different in Uncanny and X-Force.

I wonder what X-23 finds out about Warpath.

So does that mean that Warren WILL be able to switch back and forth between wings or what?No one knows for sure just yet, but that's the prevailing theory. I'm all for that explanation. It beats some hokey image inducer cover-up.

Shoo Emo Angel! I DO NOT LIKE YOU.

Emo Angel returns.

I wish they'd do a DAZZLER one of these!

Yay! So Angel is now like Wolfsbane. My only requirement is that Dazzler can only make sexytimes with hot regular Angel. Not "my wings are going to eff you up accidentally in bed" Archangel.

My second requirement is that he must say "Archangel ACTIVATE!" with a Power Rangers-like transformation every time.

[Nyssane]

I wish they'd revisit the original Horsemen theme and have FAMINE return. I mean, gawd dayum, enough with Archangel.

[JonniRandom]

YES! I always preferred "Archangel" with his metal wings and emo-glam outfits! The recent country-and-western-singer-hippy agent has been annoying me recently, he's either that or some kind of hippy womaniser!

Obviously Dazzler needs a split identity too!

Motorcycle psuedo-lesbian hard light weapons pink Dazzler can have the love with Archangel, while fabulous Dazzler gets it going with gorgeous Angel.

GET OUT. And there is nothing glam about what he was wearing. How is purple & pink tights "emo glam."

I would LITERALLY die. LOL!

Except Archangel would literally scissor Al Blair if they made sexytimes. :frown:

Huh? What? Huh?

Al Blair can go by the codename "Skippy" when she fights alongside X-Force.

Or better yet, Lois London can emerge and join X-Force - I'm sure the Purifiers have some hobos and cats to kill - and be Archangel's main chick.

Alison would NOT be pleased.

I wasn't being serious! I hate the emo trend, I just prefer purple/pink/black to blue/white/whatever the hell he wore.
Huh? What? Huh?
How? What? Why? Where? When?

Yesyesyess!!!!!!!!!!(...and the clouds parted, a devine radiance shone down upon the 3 C's and the voices of the Seraphim was heard on high...singing, Allelujah).

[Michael Sean]

Thanks for posting. I don't visit marvel.com everyday so I would have missed this.

I love Angel either way. It doesn't matter to me too much if he has his original look or his Angel of Death look.

[Pessimistic4179]

Makes me happy, anyway.

I always preferred Archangel to Angel, though the pink and blue color scheme didn't work for me too much.

[The Lucky One]

Shoo Emo Angel! I DO NOT LIKE YOU.

Yeah, no one does. Even the people who prefer Warren as Archangel just basically like sharp stuff, not emo.

Oh, well. I said before that I'd give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Warren's transformation (as much as one can when not actually reading the book, I guess), but all those comments about him going to a dark place aren't exactly heartening, are they? But whatever... as long as he's feathered, cheerful Warren in every other book he appears in, it's fine that he's GODHATER EATER OF PUPPIES AND MASTER OF SADNESS in this little corner of the world.

-D

[B. Kuwanger]

I want little to do with X-Force and even less to do with Archangel, so I'm glad they're at least letting Good Warren stick around and giving me the option to ignore the rest for the time being.

[rwsmith]

And I'm glad we've got Archangel back in X-Force (which is my 2nd favorite book that Marvel publishes at the moment, right behind Millar and McNiven's Wolverine run). Different books for different tastes, and a best of both worlds approach to the whole Angel vs. Archangel debate.

Looks like Marvel might know what they're doing after all. :wink:

Until they have returned Psylocke and Jesse Bedlam, take Guggenheim off an X-book, and stop Land from tracing they still have a long ways to go.

[AcesX1X]

Looks like somebody's getting a SPLIT PERSONALITY DISORDER soon!

LOL Oh, Warren, you nut...

[Joe Franklin]

X-Force with Archangel on board, is the best X-book on the market today.:cool:

This is some awesome stuff.

[Chris Yost]

HELLZ YEAH, JOE FRANKLIN!

I have to say, the bloody variant cover for 5 might be my favorite.

[psycwave]

HELLZ YEAH, JOE FRANKLIN!

Yes Chris thats all fine and dandy but when is Jesse Bedlam going to join the team?!?!?

[Naela]

As a huuuuuge Warren lover --feathered or not-- this spotlight has made me squeed.

[Joe Franklin]

HELLZ YEAH, JOE FRANKLIN!

What I can't figure out is why there are a few X-Force haters here at CBR?:confused:

This book has quality artists, quality characters, and some of the best written scripts in the business today. What's not to like about X-Force? The haters dumbfound me?

[B. Kuwanger]

I'll admit I came off poorly. Disliking a book doesn't mean you think the creative team sucks. Well, that's dislike anyway, I don't think there's any book I'd say I hate. And it's hard to name a book I haven't given a shot (or three). Different strokes.
