[jester1436]

Yay! Thank you, Ben Morse. <3

[Pach!]

I always have the hardest time looking at Marvel images I have to refresh like 60000 times. :( i bet the art rocks tho, it's Choi. :smile:

[jarrod]

fixxx the images! :frown:

[darknessatnoon]

fixxx the images! :frown:

The images work just fine.

[Christopher O]

Looks good. Hepzibah is LOL.

[Hi-Fi]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL Hepzibah and Phone!!! <3

And Alani gets a mention! Maybe more than that soon? Please.

Looks and reads fantastic. One of my favorite reads every month! Choi's art is mesmerizing. Kudos to the team.

[jarrod]

The images work just fine.
Maybe it's my browser then... I'll try in firefox.

[Hi-Fi]

For Pach and Jarrod:

LOL away.

[nikbackm]

And some people think X-23 is a child. She seems to be more computer like than Sage even.

[Pach!]

lmao Thanks vic! Hepz is so cute.

And I too am highly proficient in racquetball, X-23 <3

Someone needs to attach some wings on a lot of people and set Rahne free. I'm sure she'll be full eventually.

[frog]

Hepzibah is going to kick someone's butt!

[Charybdis4]

FABULOUS!!!

There should be a mini story at the end of every X-comic in which Hepzibah attempts to use various domestic appliances!!!!

Love the art, but poor, poor Rahne. She's really being put through the ringer.

[darknessatnoon]

Wolfsbane v. Angel

Verily, a battle for the ages!

[jarrod]

Just looked... AMAZING stuff!

Can C&C plz write everything plz? Plz?

[frog]

I imagine it will shortly be Wolfbane vs. Archangel.

[The Cool Thatguy]

I imagine it will shortly be Wolfbane vs. Archangel.

That'd be pretty stupid of them, if they're trying to break her conditioning.

'Course, they could probably do that with a skilled telepath inside of 10 minutes. But Scott doesn't want to reveal his immoral activities to the freakin' former White Queen of the Hellfire Club :rolleyes:

[Joe Franklin]

Best X-book on the market.:cool:

[AcesX1X]

LOL at Laura torturing Elixer.

[streator]

good to see hepzibah again. also, i can see warren changing into archangel and lighting rahne up with some flechettes.

[frog]

I'm not saying that it's voluntary on Angel's part.

X-Force's next incarnation is going to be Berserker Force.

Has Emma managed to break Laura's trigger scent conditioning yet? No? Well, so much for that.

[The Cool Thatguy]

Has Emma managed to break Laura's trigger scent conditioning yet? No? Well, so much for that.

Laura's trigger scent was installed and enforced by torture for years by experts. The Purifiers barely had Rahne a week.

[Imraith Nimphais]

Seeing these XForce previews and then reading the actual mag...it's like...like...the dark clouds over the x-universe have parted allowing for a shaft of divine light to shine through accompanied by the heavenly voices of the seraphim...and I can once more believe in the eventual erradication of world hunger, poverty and war...which, come to think on it...is somewhat ironic...but no less true...I am happy...sigh.

[North-Star]

This book......


It's just.... it's my life! Not that I don't have a life... It's just that good:biggrin:

[Maestro]

I want an X-Force Omnibus one day

[Beast]

Vanisher stealing something from Sinister's base....

You heard it here first folks, my guess is that this is the return of Maggott!

[jarrod]

You heard it here first folks, my guess is that this is the return of Maggott!
PLZ PLZ PLZ bTrue!!!!!

[Imraith Nimphais]

PLZ PLZ PLZ b a huge fat horrible lie!!!!!...Oh, the gods (ie C + C) cannot be so cruel...Beast, you are very detestable.

[Grunty]

Hey did anyone notice the picture behind Elixir?
That's the famous "The Scream" by Munch it was stolen some years ago.
I guess we got the answer to where it went.

Okay it was official reported that the police got it back, damaged, but who tells us that it's really the orginal and the picture in Warrens house isn't the true one?

Dammit Warren is there anything you can't buy for money???

Also how can Laura appear on the cover of magazine inside the X-world (the magazine next to Heph)?

[frog]

That's the famous "The Scream" by... i think his name was Münk... anyway it was stolen some years ago.

I didn't even notice that. That's hilarious.

Mike Carey's teased he's coming back. Others have mentioned him as well.

So I can certainly see it happening.

[RickyD410]

That was awesome!! It was soo soo cool. The art is beautiful, and the writing is spot on. Hepzibah and Elixir were hilarious. It looks like Elixir is sticking around, nice!!

[just another user]

This comic gets more perfect every issue <3

[Askani's Flame]

Mike Choi can do no wrong in my eyes!
I am soooooo anticipating to see what his bloody fight scenes will look like.

[drwho]

The art is a lot brighter. I dont get why Warpath cant talk to Hepzibah at all though Loved the hepzibah art with her screeching. Funny Elixir scene.

[Greg Anderson]

Oh dear Lord. I can't stop laughing at that Hepz scene. Oh gosh, LMAO!!!

[chickrockguitar]

So, some of you know I'm a HUGE Choi/Oback fan and them both on my fave X-Title, well.... tis love. LOVE! :biggrin:

I saw the thread title and went "SQWEEEEEEEE!!!!!", lol. Then I LOOKED at the pages and.... DOUBLE "SQWEEEEEEEE!!!!!". I've been waiting for these previews all week. Man, Next week can so NOT come quick enough!!

Loved the Laura/Josh scene. :biggrin:

[lockerogue]

I can't wait. I need my fix now.

[Trississ]

Also how can Laura appear on the cover of magazine inside the X-world (the magazine next to Heph)?

Nice catch, I totally missed that. Something similar happened in Young X-Men, Ink using an X-Man comic book to come up with the idea of a tattoo that would give him psychic power.
I think it's more likely the writer's having a little fun with the audience than something of substance. But you never know.

[lockerogue]

Lady Kitten is love.

[Eye in the Sky]

Mike Carey's teased he's coming back. Others have mentioned him as well.

Last week's Cup of Joe on Myspace answered this question. Mr. Quesada said Maggot is not coming back, Nick Lowe is a fan but he said no one else in the office is, so the character will remain dead/gone.

Clearly a good choice by Joe.

Clearly...(breathes a sigh of relief...while attempting to fix the Seraphims' harpstrings that were broken during my fit of misery).

[FroFroYo]

I dont read X-Force.

But this made me smile. :D

Hooray for mentionings of Loa. Bring her for some Elixir lovin'.

[rwsmith]

Good lookin' stuff. I love Choi's depiction of Logan, and Kyle and Yost do a great job with him (as well as with all of the characters under their direction) IMO.

Can't wait to check this out next week!

[jarrod]

Clearly a good choice by Joe.
UNPOSSIBLE!!!

[Eye in the Sky]

UNPOSSIBLE!!!

I believe the word is "Impossible", but I disagree with it anyway. Maggot is a woefully pathetic character, keeping him away from the books is an excellent decision.

[jarrod]

Maggot was SEX! Both Maggot and Joe Kelly need to make triumphant return to the Xbooks.

[Eye in the Sky]

There was nothing sexy about Maggot.

[Pach!]

This maggott talk is such a turn off.


Its like the anti-X-force.

[broodjeork]

This maggott talk is such a turn off.

they should send x-force after him:tongue:

[creaky]

Awesome. I love it.

Loa... okay I was trying to recall who they were talking about. So it's a relationship now? After making out off panel over a year ago? REALLY?

Oookay.

[RoguishGurl]

OMG!! It looks so beautiful!! I want this now!!

Yeah, cause Joe Quesada would NEVER lie about something like that.

Trust me. He's been mentioned by several writers. He's coming back.

[Hi-Fi]

LOL.

I wanna call Hepzibah and don't say a word.

[cgar]

i hope Julian ends up showing up. I like the way Choi draws Rhane. Crain's looks like a hairless anorexic mutt. full of fail. but other than that everything is awesome

[Eye in the Sky]

Yeah, cause Joe Quesada would NEVER lie about something like that.

Trust me. He's been mentioned by several writers. He's coming back.

I would trust what Quesada said more than some random junkie on the internet. It's not like Maggot is some big time character, he's NEVER mattered in any story, why would he lie about it?

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=92159514&blogID=432453414

Dale asks:
Mr. Quesada,
You mentioned that Maggot will be making an appearance in an X-Men book in the future. Did he survive his time in the Weapon X Concentration Camp, or will he be resurrected?

JQ: Sorry, Dale. That was a joke. We joked that Nick Lowe wants to bring back Maggot. Nick's a tad misled on the "coolness" of Maggot, and I may have to fire him.

Now no I don't expect JQ to be serious when about the Nick Lowe/firing comment, but I do take him saying it was a joke as a serious answer. Sorry chum, no Maggot.

[RickyD410]

Eh, I'm sure Sinister has PLENTY of goodies in his labs. It could be anything really. Most likely something we havent heard of. Although C&C do have a knack for bringing continuity back. So who knows?

[Imraith Nimphais]

i hope Julian ends up showing up. I like the way Choi draws Rhane. Crain's looks like a hairless anorexic mutt. full of fail. but other than that everything is awesome

Bite yer tongue! (and swallow it)...you..you...something horrible and distasteful...Crain's Rahne's ...(teehee...I rhymed) perfect, savage and viciously beauty-full.

[Novaya Havoc]

Looking AWESOME!

I miss Choi and Oback on Uncanny so much. Le sigh. But man that Hepzibah scene made me LOL!

And Elixir in a University of Michigan shirt?! BOOO!!!! GO MICHIGAN STATE!

But man alive if X-Force isn't 100 shades of fabulous.

[Novaya Havoc]

FABULOUS!!!

There should be a mini story at the end of every X-comic in which Hepzibah attempts to use various domestic appliances!!!!


LOL! YES! Every issue should have a back-up story. I want to see Hepz learn how to use a flat iron. And then I want to see her battle a microwave.

[Hi-Fi]

Looking AWESOME!

I miss Choi and Oback on Uncanny so much. Le sigh. But man that Hepzibah scene made me LOL!

LOL. Tell Lois London to SPARE her!

[Novaya Havoc]

LOL. Tell Lois London to SPARE her!

LOL. But Chris Yost said I would now never see Lois in X-Force because I LOL'd at the price of the Endangered Species HC. :-(

Although it would be a battle for the ages.

[Cayman]

LOL, Hepzibah is funny.

[Greg Anderson]

You know, I'm still rolling from that Hepz opening. Whenever it pops into my head, I have to laugh. Am I the only one?

[FemGeek]

Hurray, previews! And they look so good! Can't wait for the rest. Loving Wolfsbane, finally someone drawing her changing into a werewolf, havent seen that in a while. Lol at Hepzibahs phone-tantrum.

[BulletSpeed]

Bite yer tongue! (and swallow it)...you..you...something horrible and distasteful...Crain's Rahne's ...(teehee...I rhymed) perfect, savage and viciously beauty-full.

Word, Crains art is great. This preview has me hyped! God I wish this book released twice a month. Waiting a full 30 days for X-Force is the worst kinda torture.

[chickrockguitar]

i hope Julian ends up showing up. I like the way Choi draws Rhane.I would really like Ju to show up, even just to look for Laura, only for Logan to tell him to stay away from her (re: her X-Force stuff etc). I would LOVE to see Choi/Obeck's Ju. Athough sadly, I don't think it's gonna happen in X-Force *sighs*.

I also love how Rahne is drawn. In both Human and Wolf form! Man, I am SO looking foward to this arc.

[Imraith Nimphais]

Word, Crains art is great. This preview has me hyped! God I wish this book released twice a month. Waiting a full 30 days for X-Force is the worst kinda torture.

I feel the same...my only consolation is that it is THE perfect x-book...and the wait is WORTH IT...a hundred times over...(oh Goddess...i'm gushing:redface: ...I have not gushed about a single comic or title in...decades...well...if you don't count X-Force 1 through 6...hehehe)

[Patrion]

You know, I'm still rolling from that Hepz opening. Whenever it pops into my head, I have to laugh. Am I the only one?

You are not alone! I almost busted my gut! It was so LOL, and I hate saying LOL, ! And am I the only one who finds all of Laura's cold, seriousness to be freaking funny? I LOL (*damn, again?!) everytime she talks!

[DeniseXfrost]

LOL away.
Hepzibah reads X-23 target x?

[HeckBoy]

Gosh that is just wonderful. The Hepz and Elixir scenes were just LOL. And to think I had doubts about the series when I first heard about it. It just gets better and better!

[BulletSpeed]

Vanisher is going to steal the LEGACY VIRUS!

[$5 Milkshake]

Choi draws a hawt Wolfsbane!

I like. This books does not suck.

[CMBMOOL]

Very nice preview as it shows great art and a great opening scene as well. :redface:

[RickyD410]

I had to go back and look at them again. Its soooo beautiful. And I noticed on the floor of Hepzibah's room, she's reading the Target X Mini!! Hahahaha.

And I still absolutely love Laura and Josh's scene. I really hope Elixir sticks around here. He should join the team. Not to kill like they do, but just to heal and help out. Cus in this line of work, these guys'll probably need a healer pretty frequently.

I also like the fact that theyre in Colorado. Thats where I am!! They're pretty up there in the mountains. I wonder whereabouts in Colorado they are...

[Silver Fox]

You know, I'm still rolling from that Hepz opening. Whenever it pops into my head, I have to laugh. Am I the only one?Certainly not. I really like Hepzibah now. I hope we see more appearances from her, even if it's just a little bit at a time.

You are not alone! I almost busted my gut! It was so LOL, and I hate saying LOL, ! And am I the only one who finds all of Laura's cold, seriousness to be freaking funny? I LOL (*damn, again?!) everytime she talks!No, it's really funny, especially how Elixir reacts to her.

Hepzibah reads X-23 target x?
Who doesn't?

Even if he doesn't join the team, as long as he continues to show up in the book once in a while, I'll be so happy.

[justinkos91]

:biggrin: BEST ART EVER! :biggrin:

[rajincajun689]

I kinda think Choi should just do the art for everything.

[DeadXMan]

LOL at Laura torturing Elixer.

That's what you get for wearing a michican shirt

X is down with the 'Horns.

[RickyD410]

I kinda think Choi should just do the art for everything.

And Oback! Dont forget his colorist!

[podmark]

I can totally see the quality of Choi/Oback's art but I'm not sold on it...yet at least. It's got this kind of prettifying effect that I'm not huge. But I wasn't huge on Crain at first so I suspect I'll be quite happy with it soon. Either way it is good art.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if Josh became a regular character here. And I'm sure Yost and Kyle could find a great way for him to fit. But I've got a suspicion that Elixir may be used as a vehicle to show how X-Force handles allies that find out the truth.

[DeadXMan]

read target X

your doubts about his art will be washed away like driftwood when the tide goes out

[worstblogever]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL Hepzibah and Phone!!! <3

And Alani gets a mention! Maybe more than that soon? Please.

Looks and reads fantastic. One of my favorite reads every month! Choi's art is mesmerizing. Kudos to the team.

I'm just glad they finally explain why Cyclops doesn't run and drag out Elixir for every bump and scrape the X-Men teams get, is all I know.

[sneggz]

Wait, is Laura exercising dark humor?

CHOI IS BACK!!!!!!! YAY!!

C&C&C for Uncanny when XForce blows up in Scotts face!

[Roo]

didn't notice it first time through but i noticed that warren is on the other side of the glass from rahne - maybe there won't be a fight after all

i think they're planting the seed for cyclops bringing emma into the mix, or at least another psychic - how else to deal with elixer and rahne

[RoguishGurl]

I love this panel. I love how it seems that Rahne his popping out at you. Choi and Oback are geniuses!

http://i34.tinypic.com/of252u.jpg

[Hakael]

Wait, is Laura exercising dark humor?

CHOI IS BACK!!!!!!! YAY!!

C&C&C for Uncanny when XForce blows up in Scotts face!

No, thats just Laura... she thinks, tactically, the best option is to kill Josh if Cyclops wants to keep this black ops team under wraps. The scene is very much dark humor, but Laura's not doing it on purpose... she means every word.

I can't wait to see where this leads with everyone else... especially when Chuck gets wind of it.

[chickrockguitar]

No, thats just Laura... she thinks, tactically, the best option is to kill Josh if Cyclops wants to keep this black ops team under wraps. The scene is very much dark humor, but Laura's not doing it on purpose... she means every word.*sighs* Sadly, yes you are right there. You gotta feel sorry for Laura sometimes.

[FemGeek]

Yeah, I saw that too on my second look. She might smash through the glass, she is pretty strong. Or hit into it, which would be upsetting but also kinda funny. There probly wont be a fight, I dont think the others would let it come to that, though someone might get mauled in passing again.

[Bic]

Hepzibah reads X-23 target x?
Actually she just sits and yells at it when the comic doesn't read itself.

[AN0LE]

This book easily has some of the best art in any current x-title. I am glad to see Hepzibah getting some panel time and her getting ready to throw down with a telephone is cracking me up! We also get a mention of Loa. I am definitely looking forward to this one!

[timbox]

I wish Mike Choi would bury me.

[SayOcean]

I dont see how people could mistake the rahne/Angel scene as a possible fight, they were probably jsut testing rahne to see how hardcore her programming is and how long it takes for it to wear off...etc. etc.

The art is awesome but Elixer looked...off to me am i the only one who thoguht it?

[AN0LE]

I don't know. I thought he looked ok. He actually looked his age, imo. Most of the kids look like they suddenly turned 30.

[blehbeh]

There probly wont be a fight, I dont think the others would let it come to that, though someone might get mauled in passing again.

Rahne will probably slash Wolverine's throat or gut him while he's trying to restrain her. This looks like a "down time" issue, and they have to throw in the blood and guts somewhere. Plus poor Logan seems to get horribly injured every week now in one book or another...

I loved Crain's dark tone, but Choi is a nice change and suits the book just as well. This really has turned into the best X-Book.

[darknessatnoon]

We're stupid, that's why.

[darknessatnoon]

I just checked X-23's math. It's completely off. X-Force needs a real "Living Computer."

[timbox]

I just checked X-23's math. It's completely off. X-Force needs a real "Living Computer."

She's not going for exact, she's going for efficient. She deals in black and white; the numbers are a byproduct of her instincts.

[Josef F.]

OMG HEPZIBAH.
MY HEART CRIES OUT FOR YOU TO BE ON X-FORCE

She should be there with Domino.

[Jota]

It looks great! The Epizbah scene is hilarious as well as every word said by Laura.
"I must warn you... I am higly proficient at raquetball." LOL!

[CyberHubbs]

I love this panel. I love how it seems that Rahne his popping out at you. Choi and Oback are geniuses!

http://i34.tinypic.com/of252u.jpg

AGHHH! GET IT AWAY! HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

[frog]

CBR has a few more panels in the Yost interview. I knew we'd be seeing Archangel as soon as Rahne went wolf! :biggrin:

[orkoni1]

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c283/ayozol5000/of252u.jpg

OMG I feel so bad for her, she is crying as she is getting ready to attack Archangel : ( even in her wolf form.

I feel for her.

But I know that this will build her charater more, so thats the only thing that appeases just a bit.
