So, if you've been reading Marvel comics over the past month or so, there's a good chance you've come across an advert talking about the new X-Force series. I have to say, I was a bit iffy about it at first, just based on the line-up of team members. Let's take a look at who we've got.
Wolverine: WHAT? He's on another team? What is that now, 4? I think this just goes to further support my theory that he is a skrull. If nothing else, the guy is really passionate about his work. Who's busier, Superman or Aquaman? Answer: Wolverine.
X-23: Ok, so Wolverine AND Lady Wolverine? I don't even know what to say about this.
Wolfsbane: She's a werewolf. Just a werewolf. Which, I wasn't aware could be counted as a "mutant power". But, get this, the chick says stuff like "Ye" all the fuckin time. She's like Thor, but with more hair and a better rack. She's ok in my book.
Warpath: Think Apache Chief without cool "grow powers". Warpath basically just runs around with knives as a mutant power. But, he's got potential to seriously fuck up some baddies, so I gotta say he's ok by me.
Caliban: The coolest mutant ever, Nuff Said. Oh, also he already died, so forget him.
So, out of 4 remaining members, really none of them interest me all that much as far as dialogue/back story goes. But I'm still going to buy it.
Why, you ask? Because 3 of the characters have claws that can slash people up, and the one who doesn't carries around big fucking knives instead. That means a 75% chance that somewhere in this series someone is going to get stabbed right in the fucking face. Also, check out this art:
Pretty sweet, I must say.

See, this book looks bad, I know it is bad. But my inner 12-year-old keeps saying, "Buy it! Who cares if it's bad, it looks fucking cool! It's got the stabby, stabby, stabby! And boobs!"
I hate that kid. He's the reason I have a complete collection of just about every Image #1. Thanks for the mint copy of Prophet kid, I really needed that.
I know exactly what you mean, Jason. Everything sensible about me is saying no to it, but the part of me that likes face-stabbing is screaming YES!
