As we all know by now, Marvel’s X-Force, written by Geoffrey Thorne, will be concluding with issue #10 this coming April. While it’s always tough to say goodbye to a series, this cancellation presents an important opportunity for fans of Betsy Braddock, aka Captain Britain, to make their voices heard.
So, how can we show our support?
1. Email the X-Office:
It’s simple! Let Marvel know that we want more of Betsy Braddock. Please take a moment to send a polite and kind email to the X-Office at:
In your message, share your appreciation for Betsy’s character, express your desire to see her more in future comics, and ask about her role in upcoming storylines. The more personal and sincere, the better!
2. Join the Conversation on Tom Brevoort's Substack:
Tom Brevoort is the Senior Editor of the X-Office, and he’s an excellent resource for getting feedback to Marvel’s higher-ups. You can use the comments section on his Substack to express your support for Betsy and inquire about her future. You can find his Substack here:
What to Avoid: Please be sure to keep your messages positive, respectful, and focused solely on Betsy. We want Marvel to know that Betsy’s fans are excited and passionate about her future. Here’s what to avoid:
- Don’t bring up other characters. This is not about comparing Betsy to others, but simply showing how much we love her and want to see more of her story.
- Avoid insulting or criticizing creators, past or present. This is about showing support for Betsy and keeping the tone constructive.
- Don't be aggressive or passive-aggressive. Remember, we’re sending a message of love for the character, so let’s keep the tone friendly and respectful.
Let’s unite and make our voices heard!
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Great idea.
I hope Thorne gets to do a solo series for Betsy like he's been wanting to do.
I wanted more X-Force, it definitely had me more interested in Forge and Sage than I was before, but I definitely would be happy if Betsy got a solo in her real voice this time.
Leaving this new fight to you guys. I'm sooo tired and don't have it in me anymore to fight for Betsy. It gets harder and harder and I'm getting old lol
@Randy, I feel you. I think this cancellation is just one more step in Brevoort “streamlining” the X-Men at the behest of Disney’s powers that be, so that they are digestible by the masses, so that the comics can mirror their MCU versions.
I'll annoy them with cute emails until Betsy is confirmed in something.
Brevoort never liked X-Force. Weapon X-Men is literally a more traditional X-Force replacement full of those macho macho characters.
@Nate, cute emails until we not only see her confirmed but see it published and with her remaining intact from a characterization standpoint. Thorne's characterization was so on-point in a way that we had not seen in way too long! I also liked what he was starting to do with her integrating Otherworld magic with her telepathy and telekinesis. My interest was piqued.
I guess I should wax grateful and be thankful that we got the uniform changes that Lindsay promised. Ha!
