The Original X-Force Appreciation Thread.(Accept No Substitutes!)

[marvell2100]

This thread is dedicated to the original X-Force. This book was how a team of rebel mutants should be done. Great writing by Fabian Nicieza and even J. Loeb and phenomenal art by Messrs. Capullo, Cheung and Pollina(We won't mention Rod Leftfield). This was possibly one of the best X-books that focused on up and coming mutants.

[marvell2100]

You people obviously don't like the original X-Force team.

[gorthon616]

i was really only interested in it in so far as it became part of the mutant crossover of the day.

[marvell2100]

This book showed the best growth and development of Cannonball. His development has been downhill ever since. This guy was groomed to be the next great leader.

[gorthon616]

This book showed the best growth and development of Cannonball. His development has been downhill ever since. This guy was groomed to be the next great leader.

I liked Cannonball. The book had it's moments and Cannonball was typically one of the strongest characters in the book and a worthy team leader. True he has gone downhill since. I think it's largely that once he was thrown into the main X-cast he largely became redundant, because he was sort of Neo-Cyclops, but more militant and younger. Carey seemed like he was on the right path when he indicated he might become more active and independent in his Manifest Destiny (or was it Divided We Stand?) storyline.

I also liked Cable. But minus Cable and Cannonball, none of the characters were that strong. And minus X-over events, they didn't have much of a point. I do like the development's they made to Siryn, Rictor, and Warpath though (in later books). Boom Boom I don't remember from X-Force, but I did like in Nextwave. Sunspot was kinda interesting, but he got so little time (that I recall) that it was basically a non-factor.

So yeah, that's all I have to say. Cable was the money maker, Cannonball the token "good character" and the rest were just sort of random mutant filler.

[darknessatnoon]

Whatever. These guys may have been the originals, but I will accept no substitutes for Zeitgeist, Mr. Sensitive, U Go Girl, Gin Genie, etc.

Imo I thinks these characters shined greater here than anywhere else and their stories were more than just what crossover are we invovled in this time. It's like they took the best of Xavier and Magneto and came up with the definitive rebel X-team. Also if you recall, Cable spent very little time with this team.

[Push You Down]

I thought the book got pretty strong around the purple and yellow costume days. Less paramilitary and more about young people forming a non-traditional family. No dads or moms around(the X-men are a family but always have basic family dynamics in place.)

[marvell2100]

Whatever. These guys may have been the originals, but I will accept no substitutes for Zeitgeist, Mr. Sensitive, U Go Girl, Gin Genie, etc.

Daaarrrkkknnessssss!!!!!

hmm, Cable was in about 60 at least, so I wouldn't say he wasn't in many...

the original xforce has been my favorite stories to read. i know people dont like liefeld but i really wish he would have stayed in the book and see where he was taking cannonball, cable, tolliver and the xternals. i really didnt like tony's art (though his work on the tenth is awesome) and pollina's art was just terrible (but i liked his work in charlmagne...what happend it was so nice?). i miss this era of the xtitles

They did have a good family feel but I enjoyed the paramilitary feel the book had early on as well.

[SkinFromBone]

I liked Cable, Domino and Syrin :biggrin:

I sort of like how sunspot was either way on good or bad in early x force stories and wish he had been reignfire or w/e his name was.

phenomenal art by Messrs. Capullo, Cheung and Pollina(We won't mention Rod Leftfield).

You can't even spell his name right, Rob Liefeld.:mad:


What's the point of an appreciation thread if we can't appreciate the guy who started the title in the first place? We wouldn't have it without him. Instead we'd probably have some boring New Mutant title written by Louise Simonson writing about Birdboy and some really wishy-washy mutants.:rolleyes:

Without him, the original X-Force would've had ankles and feet, though.

[Swashbuckler]

There aren't enough mutant amputees. He did that minority a service!!!

In all honesty, I loved the original X-Force for what it was. They were awol New Mutants and Cable's strike force. I little latter when Loeb took over it got a bit off track I felt, but the character development in this title was always pretty good, you must admit.

[MartinRedmond]

Even if Rob's run was mostly made out of old New Teen Titans comics, the begining and ending of X-Force are far better than anything in between.

[MartinRedmond]

Feral:"Warpath is on the warpath."


I hated Fabian Nicieza's writing. :(

[justinkos91]

I liked the team shortly after operation zero tolerance, the stories werent that great, but I liked the team lineup, with Moonstar, Siryn, Warpath, Boom-Boom, Sunspot, etc. (in case I missed any members). I liked it too when Domino returned as well, having someone besides cable lead was nice.

[MartinRedmond]

My favorites are issues 3 and 4. Spider-Man looks like a bunch of saussages, Warpath has 3 buttocks and the coloring in 4 is so obnoxious that it's hard to make out half of the comic. You can tell issue 4 was done in 2 or 3 days. Classics that will never get old.

Marc Paccella did a nice effort, the horrible was there, but not the magic.

[worstblogever]

Was it Fabe, or Liefeld who we can credit with coining the term "Bohunk" via Feral, I wonder?

While reading through AoA, I heard Jubilee use the term Bohunk actually :tongue: (Gambit and the X-Ternals)

[MartinRedmond]

I'm sure it's Fabian, cause everything I read from him had lousy dialogue like that. I guess I'm an hypocrite though, cause when Peter David writes lame lines like that, I laugh.

[worstblogever]

Fabian wrote that, so I think that'd be him.

Ugh. He got better, at least.

Also, Rob has no sense of humor. So that can't be him.

Like Liefield all you want, his art was crappy and Nicieza was co-writer. The book survived without him.

[MartinRedmond]

I like that Boom Boom's sunglasses and hair made her head look like a potted plant.

I could reread and talk about Rob's run, all day long. Were pages from issue 2 secretely inked by Erik Larsen or not? Was the cancelled cross over with Peter David's X-Factor something only Peter wanted? We'll never know!

I was a freshman in college when X-Force #1 came out, so of course I liked it. It was all action with no substance just like every 18 year old college kid is.:biggrin:

[Swashbuckler]

Feral was amazing in X-Force. Her turn to the evil side was really made me love her honestly. It was great and so needed. I was REALLY angry when Morrison un-did it and made her a domesticated house cat in New X-Men. The girl needs to be ressurected via Romulus, have a mad on for Wolverine (since he LET her die in Loeb's HORRIBLE story arc) and attack X-Force where she'll finally show Rahne whose the boss. Wolfsbane is expendable. Plus, it'd be awesome to see Feral gut Wolfsbane and watch as an undigested eye ball of her fathers rolls out, lol.

Great guy. I'm glad he got rid of the all white Princess Leia costume.
But look at that shoulderpad! How can you not love a costume like that?

[MartinRedmond]

Ahah Princess Leia.

Let's not forget Feral's sister! Feral and Thorn no doubt have a strong furry following on deviantart, not that I'd want to check but it can't be ignored. Not to mentionThorn was created by Liefeld so she's a totally legit, official character.

I'm sad it was revealed Feral was abused, way to ruin her awesome character. I liked it better when she was just plain NASTEEE. I didn't like Loeb cause it was kind of kitsch. They retconned Boomboom's dad into this cartoonish, overweight child beater when he was a slim, average joe child beater, taking away from the pognancy of Secret Wars 2. I liked Pollina's art but the stories weren't very deep or psychologically significant.

The most memorable scene to me was the confrontation between Sam and Xavier in #19. Sam really confronted Xavier like he had never been done before by a student(except mebbe Logan). Open hand or closed fist. Classic.

[That JonoGuy]

An original X-Force thread. Now this is my kind of thread. John Francis Moore was certainly my favorite writer for the series. I am always going back and rereading his run. As far as the art, Adam Pollina hold the title for my favorite and definitive X-Force artist. Greg Capullo and Jim Cheung also did an bang up job.

I thought that the series was pretty well written throughout with maybe the exception of the Warren Ellis era. It wasn't bad per say, I just though the characters weren't acting all that in character. I am still baffled as to why Sam would consult with Jesse on the future of the team.

heh. I just realized I have myself an X-Force Avatar.

It was. Unless you wanted Cannonball and Meltdown to end up happily ever after. It was on the trip that she ended up shtupping his best friend, Sunspot.

High drama.

But the road trip also had them at the Burning Man Festival with pink-haired (Not Fat) Karma, battling Selene, teaming up with the Mutant Liberation Front against Operation Zero Tolerance, and helping a young wanker escape his debt to the mob by pretending to be hired enforcers themselves!

It really was fun. With Pollina art, to boot.

[Disco Jess Minge]

Like Liefield all you want, his art was crappy and Nicieza was co-writer. The book survived without him.

I'm not a Liefeld die-hard but the man had some energy in his panels. That's hard to get whether you have the perfect technical drawing skills or not. And yeah, the book survived without him, it was the 90s. All the X-titles did.

I liked Capullo's run and Tony Daniel's before Pollina came aboard. That issue where Syrin gets it out with Black Tom and her drinking problem. Great issue. X-Force was great because it was more like Teen Titans than X-Men ever was, and the costumes were ridiculosly flamboyant for a shoot-em-up-gritted-teeth-maschoist book.:biggrin:

Idk. That was one of the things that bothered me about Liefeld's New Mutants/X-Force. I think they were trying to use the excuse to come up with some new characters, ala Cable, to help bring a new wave of very awesome mutants for a new generation.

I know right...I know Magik was a kid at the time...but why didnt he use wolfsbane? Karma?

oh how awesome it wouldve been to see early xforce versions of the NM girls

or at least they coulda came back and tried to eff xforce up, like they were still the NM living at xaviers and had to track down their missing teamates.....i dont know its a real good idea in my head

x-force was my favorite comic for a while. i stuck with it through the good & bad times but ended up dropping it when milligan & allred revamped it.

i did recently purchase their run on the title, but i've yet to read it (i'm always behind).

anyway, my favorite things about x-force were:

greg capullo, adam pollina & jimmy cheung on art

fabian nicieza & john francis moore

shatterstar, cannonball, moonstar and meltdown (when she became meltdown)

the roadtrip era

my least favorite things:

jesse bedlam

warpath flying

the shatterstar "origin" arc

the purple/yellow uniforms

Plus it had some yummy Terry Dodson art.

It was a development that needed to happen, and I'm glad it happened with Fabes instead of someone like Loeb messing it up. I liked Loeb's run alright, it just wasn't as good as Fabian's, imo. Plus, his Shatterstar origin sucked hardcore.

[askani777]

i started reading comics by picking up x-force 9 from the floor of my moms car, possibly left there by my one of my brother's friends. i was hooked. this was way back in 4th grade. i followed the comic for years, slowly being dragged into the more x-men titles, but always adoring x-force and cable the most. looking back, i know that the issues weren’t as good as i remember them (as with most things when yr a kid), but they hit that imaginative part of my young mind, real hard. i thought about them all the time, especially being fixated on cable, cannonball, and domino in the early years. as well as their militancy, and rebelliousness from the x-men. also important to that era was the idea that cable gave these kids the option to grow up, he treated them like adults, and had faith in their ability.

as the years went on cable and x-force became more like peers and the kids grew apart from him, but still they respected him greatly.

issue 19 was my favorite. cannonball’s confrontation with xavior, as other members are stealing data from the professor's computers was great.

i remember really liking issue 22 when cable was thought dead and he left them a shit-ton of weapons. its a shame that didn’t go anywhere, i thought the kids would have this new edge with all these future weapons. nothing came from it other than a cool cover.

i stopped reading in the 40s, i just got disinterested in comics in general. a couple years later i got back into x-force, bought all the issues i missed (as well as all the new mutants) and kept up with it until the x-statix team started. the highlights of that run were the pollina art, the character development, and the fun. some of the enemies really sucked in that era. but overall i enjoyed it. a good change for the team, even if i missed them kicking ass and pissing off the x-men. in this era meltdown and warpath really grew on me, and caliban as well. when cheung got onboard i thought the stories went downhill, alongside the art. and the rest of the series was mediocre.

the counter x stuff was pretty bad. all the crazy sci-fi back ops stuff was too much. and pete wisdom sucked. the team was tight and powerful, powers were used in new ways, but that’s about all it had going for it.

x-forces militancy and rebelliousness informed my political ideas, as well as got me questioning the tactics used by x-men and x-factor, and the role of cops and pacifists in the real world. it might sound silly, but that meant a lot to me.

the period after Liefield left, when nicieza took over, was my favorite. its a shame that important things from that time were not carried into the present. such as, cable being as important, philosophically, as magneto and xavior. and the presence of a group to rival in many ways, both the x-men (pacifists) and x-factor (government employees or cops), as well as cannonballs capacity to lead that renegade group.

[jarrod]

Plus, his Shatterstar origin sucked hardcore.
LOL. Loeb just needs to stay away from X-origins... I'm not sure if Shatterstar or Wolverine was worse? :/

At least he wanted to make Shatty and Ric a couple tho...


and pete wisdom sucked.
But Kitty Pryde swallowed. :biggrin:

Speaking the dark Counter-X days (which I agree WERE terrible for X-Force), I always got the impression that Tab wanted to bang Petey... did they ever do the dirty? I know Tab had a MAJOR H8-on for Kitty afterwards.

Probably, the book was writen by two english men. Pete Wisdom was an older english man and BoomBoom was a late teenage girl.

I forgot Portacio drew 4 issues of X-Force. There's alot of good, short stints on the title.

I thought he was okay... better than Liefield at least.

Capullo would be my #4 and probably Portacio for #5. I LOVE Portacio generally, but he kinda phoned it in on X-Force. :/

Were there any other regular artists on the book? Kinda insane if there were only six artists for a 125+ issue series, I feel like the X-books go through that many regulars in 3 years these days.

Well there was also Mark Pacella. He was just as bad as Leftfield. I think that Pollina had the longest run of all.

I don't think Pacella was a regular, he just filled in btwn Liefeld and Capullo.

1- Rob Liefeld
2- Adam Pollina's first run. The one that was more blatantly Mucha influenced.
3- Whilce Portacio

Paccella only did 3 or 4 issues, it just seemed longer. I also reccomend What If #37 Vol 2 from the same vintage. It's one of those comics you will never forget. http://milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=page1&issue=95078701518%2037

LOL. Loeb just needs to stay away from X-origins... I'm not sure if Shatterstar or Wolverine was worse? :/

At least he wanted to make Shatty and Ric a couple tho...
LOL. I didn't mind most of his X-Force, tho. Most of it was top notch. I enjoyed his developments with Bobby. And Sam and Tab's relationship. Tab's relationship with Sabretooth, which seemed genuine at the time. I didn't like that they tried to retcon it that he was playing her the entire time.

I liked all the Counter-X stuff except X-Force. Even worse, X-Force was the one satellite book that didn't need rebooting imo. :/

Ellis Excalibur rocked and actually had a very "old-meets-new" flavor similar to JFM's X-Force run imo. If the latter was essentially a New Mutants family homecoming, the former was kind of an Uncanny family homecoming.

Yeah, I was really disappointed when Moore and Cheung left. I didn't see the need for that kind of change. Wisdom could have done that Counter-X thing over in X-Calibur.

[Swashbuckler]

And the worst part of Counter x was Jesse Bedlam with those stupid X's in his hair and his power suddenly became the ability to do ANYTHING he wanted. LAME.

OMG lookit those pecs! I bet Feral and Cerise would get along...

I wish Moore/Chung had stayed until the Milligan/Allred run, I know Moore at least wasn't ready to go and was actually kinda surprised given the good fan response he'd gotten. :/

I didn't mind Wisdom being brought in really though, it was (literally) everything else that was ick.

[rwsmith]

Capullo was my favorite original X-Force artist:

http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/x-force/25-2.jpg

He drew the best Cable out of anybody at the time IMO. Tony Daniel was pretty decent too:

Man, what was that all about? I saw that and I thought what happened to Jesse and why is there an X on his head? I just couldn't get what they were trying to do. Sam has lead X-force against Magneto, SHIELD, Prof X and a good many others but Pete Wisdom shows up and all of a sudden he can't lead? That was just an excuse to put Wisdom in a book.

Ellis' Excalibur run was amongst his strongest work because it was mostly all self contained stories told in an issue or two.

I was thinking the same thing about Shatterstar. i don't think he ever appeared heavily in any other stories. He would fit well into this one. Perhaps flesh him out a bit so he won't just be a killer who doesn't ask questions. Strangely he was also one of my favorite X-Force members.

Strange to see this thread. X-Force was the book that brought me into comics and I still love it. I never got a chance to finish up X-Statix but maybe I will one day. Its also not really connected to X-Force anyway. Hopefully the new series will get even better. Either way I will always buy an X-Force book as long as Marvel puts one out.

IDK about putting him on Uncanny. His new style is too...something else. If he goes back to his old style, I'd be all for it, but if we get more like his Angel mini, I'll pass on him on Uncanny.

I think he'd adjust appropriately to whatever project stylistically. I could see an awesome Wolverine arc coming out of him too actually. Or X-Force for that matter.

YXM would be my top choice though. Berto and Dani need to get their sexy back.

I think Pollina would do well on the new X-Force or Cable. He had an excellent run on the original. Did he do anything after that? I don't recall. If they won't give him an ongoing they should at least tap him for an X-Mini for WOKs.

What i always loved about X-Force was that they were a totaly seperate thing from the X-men. They went their own way and didn't care about gaing the aproval of the X-men anymore. I agree that issue 19 and the confrontation between Cannonbal and Xavier was one of the best ever. Sammy had the balls to tell Xavier off at and age when Cyclops was still worshiping the man. I truly hated it when they started being more tied to the X-Men again, and Sams "graduation" to the big team. that was the stupidest move ever.

I hated COunter X and thought it was some of the worst crap ellis ever stuck his name on. You could tell that that whole thing was nothing but a paycheck for him and he put in as little effort as possible into it. I mean 2 of the titles outright were ended and the third given a total revamp that had nothing at all to do with what came before.

I know X-Force/X-Statix has a very vocal fan base, but I just could nto muster nay interest in that book at all. I think it probably comes form my outright utter dislike of Alreds art.

I didn't like the Counter-X or Statix move either. They should have used a different team and different book for those concepts and really seen where this book could have gone. Who knows, maybe that X-Force team would have morphed into the current version. I doubt it but we never got the chance to see how this team would have matured. It could have been the best X-team ever.

What did you think of Jim Cheung's run as artist? I though he started pretty strong. The later issues seemed to suffer a bit. Considering his work after he left X-Force at CrossGen was fantastic, I think it may be have been because of time restraints. The characters did seem to look younger as his run progressed.

I know X-Force/X-Statix has a very vocal fan base, but I just could nto muster nay interest in that book at all. I think it probably comes form my outright utter dislike of Alreds art.

It wasn't for the same audiance at all. I thought X-Force lost it once Rob's genius left.

What did you think of Jim Cheung's run as artist? I though he started pretty strong. The later issues seemed to suffer a bit. Considering his work after he left X-Force at CrossGen was fantastic, I think it may be have been because of time restraints. The characters did seem to look younger as his run progressed.

I thought that Jim's work on X-Force was excellent. Pollina's work was great as well. Those two are my top two X-Force artists.

I definitely agree. Greg Capullo also had a very nice run on the series. I haven't really kept up with his work, but i don't think his current work is anywhere near as good as his work on X-Force. At least style wise.

Yeah, I saw some of his later work on Spawn and it was just too dark. Capullo was a very good change from Liefeld imo. He did great on X-Force's part in Fatal Attraction. I liked how he drew Sam and Cable.

Tony Daniel was my fav X-Force artist! His work right before AoA was amazing.

Greg C... is definitely number two, followed by Cheung. Pollina and Liefield are probably tied.

Good memories! I was so sad that Daniel left after AoA :(
