Marvel To Announce Uncanny X-Force At San Diego – Wolverine, Archangel, Fantomex, Deadpool and Psylocke

Bleeding Cool: What’s in an adjective? Looks like the “Uncanny”, added to X-Men in the mid seventies, looks like it will be added to an X-Force relaunch. Uncanny X-Force #1 by Rick Remender and Jerome Opeña will launch in October and you can expect to hear Marvel announce the project at San Diego.

We’ve already known that a “New” X-Force was coming. But not that it would take the “Uncanny” sobriquet or whom, apart from Wolverine, would be in it.

Well, the team will also consist of Archangel, Fantomex, Deadpool and Psylocke, up against the return of Apocalypse.

Yes, that’s right, another Deadpool monthly title. It also has an “Explicit Content” label, just to reinforce how bloody this book is going to be…

Mike Carey talks X-Men: Legacy

Mike Carey discusses the future of X-Men: Legacy at Marvel.com.

Carey's affection for the next generation of X-Men will carry through the immediate future of LEGACY, with Hope and Hellion taking center stage following the current "Collision" arc, but the team's adult core will also drop by to keep things interesting.

"We'll see Psylocke, Colossus, Omega Sentinel, Danger and a whole bunch of people," he reveals. "We'll carry on dissolving and re-inventing our cast from one arc to the next; that's one of the things I love about writing this book."

X-Men #1 Spoilers

Spoilers: Jubilee and Pixie are hanging out in San Francisco, when a suicide bomber strikes. His blood is spilled all over the people who were around him, including Jubilee. In Utopia, Cyclops suspects there was more to the attack than just being the usual terrorists. Jubilee is brought to Utopia and tells Cyclops the bomber just tore off his coat and exploded. "Flesh burning in the daylight" makes Cyclops think they're dealing with vampires. Jubilee was infected during the bombing, an infection which is progressing rapidly. Dr. Nemesis reveals the virus was manufactured as they wanted to spread the virus and that there is no cure for the time being. At night, all the people infected with the virus during the bombing gather together in the woods, somehow hypnotized, to bring themselves to the Vampires in charge of the attack. The vampires are expecting Jubilee to show up at any minute, as she was the one "he" wanted. Back to the X-Men, Storm wants to check this story out, since she has history with Dracula. Scott forbids her, and sends Wolverine instead. Logan, Angel and Pixie find a safehouse full of weapons and fresh bodies, as well as a vampire woman who mentions the Lord of the Vampires being in town. Scott tells them to return, as it's time for the X-Men to hold a war council. Meanwhile, Jubilee tries to pretend she's okay, but she's growing paler and unconfortable with the sunlight by the second...

Notes: No Psylocke.

X-Force #28 Spoilers

Spoilers originally provided by invisiblefive over at the CBR forums. All credit goes to him! :D

Spoilers: Thor tries to uneffectively break the dome from the outside, where thousands have gathered to pray for the X-Men to save their relatives trapped on the inside. Inside the dome, Cable, in full techno organic form, manages to keep the temporal door open long enough for the X-Force team to walk through it. He then looks at Hope and suddenly explodes, leaving only his metallic arm behind. Bastion, Lang and Creed watch from the top of a mountain as the time sphere collapses. Creed and Lang try to convince Bastion that the game is over. Bastion refuses to let the girl live, turns into battle mode, and flies towards the bridge. Hope remembers the moment she asked Cable how she would know when she's ready, and he told her she would know the same way she has ever known anything else. Cyclops tells Hope he's sorry and tries to put his hand over her shoulder, when she replies that if he ever put his hand on her again, he will lose it because it was all his fault. Suddenly Bastion destroys the Golden Gate Bridge passing through it. Most X-Men falls into the water. Hope emerges from it, only to be confronted by Bastion, Lang and Creed, all in Nimrods form. They attack her, when, suddenly, she forms an armor. Bastion realises that her mutant powers just appeared, but he can't classify them, nor calculate them. Hope then blasts him with an optic blast he can't adapt to. Her hand turn into metal, and she punches right through him. As she remembers Cable's words, Hope touches the ground and forms an energy shield. Bastion says she is not the messiah, but the adversary, and that if she survives, nothing will survive. Hope turns into the Phoenix and blasts Bastion. Wolverine, Colossus and Emma are shocked. Logan tells Emma there's nothing she can do now. Bastion manages to grasp Hope's neck, and states that despite his original programming, he will take great pleasure in killing hope. Cyclops blasts his arm, and Wolverine jumps on him, killing him "for Kurt". Hope touches the ground again, saying she's ready now, going full Phoenix Force, and blasting Bastion and the dome all at once. The Avengers rejoices that Summers managed to pull it, while, in Utopia, every mutant just stares at Hope, levitating, like a true Phoenix...

Sneak a Peek at the Uncanny X-Men #526 Backup Story

Marvel.com: Allan Heinberg and Olivier Coipel play in the x-sandbox! If the fallout from "Second Coming" wasn't enough to make you buy Uncanny X-Men #526, then how about a bonus story by two of the best talents in the industry? Allan Heinberg may be the busiest man in the world, splitting his time between television ("Grey's Anatomy") and comics (Avengers: Children's Crusade, Young Avengers) but he couldn't pass up an opportunity to write Cyclops, Magneto and Wolverine.

What does Magneto learn that sends him down a path that the rest of the world would rather he just stay away? And what does it mean to his relationship with the X-Men? Oh, and did we mention that the artist of Marvel's Siege event was drawing it? Olivier Coipel's first sequential work since illustrating the Sentry's death and the new formation of the Avengers is in Uncanny #526. Don't miss it!

Victor Gischler Talks Psylocke

The free "X-Men - Curse of the Mutants Saga" one-shot that came out today features an all-new interview with Victor Gischler, writer of the upcoming X-Men (vol. 3) title. A certain psychic ninja might be in his plans...

Marvel: Can you sum up in a few words what you like about the roster of mutants you'll be dealing with?

Victor: The events in the first arc are big enough that the X-Men need all hands on deck, so we haven't settled into the core team just yet. It's still being decided. I can tell you that I have my eye on Gambit and am taking a closer look at Psylocke, but I need to discuss this with the bigwigs back at the X-Office, too. I am also warming up to Pixie. I think she's had the training wheels come off recently and is ready to struf her stuff a little more. I also want to have a few "staples" on the team, but as I said, it's all still being discussed and nothing is fore sure yet until we battle our way thtough the first arc.
