Koete Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 You wanted it, now you’ve got it! After an overwhelming demand for the sold out issues of X-Force #1-3, Marvel is proud to announce X-Force: Legacy of Vengeance, collecting the first three chapters of this red hot storyline! From the phenomenal writing duo of Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle (New X-Men), featuring, absolutely stunning art by rising star artist Clayton Crain, this X-Men; Divided We Stand tie-in reveals the future of mutantkind! Following the Earth-shattering events of the smash hit Messiah CompleX, Cyclops has put together a brand-new dark-ops team that only he and members Wolverine, X-23, Warpath and Rahne know about. There are lines that the X-Men have sworn never to cross, but the X-Men are no more and some enemies need to be dealt with -- permanently. This book has it all: Purifiers, the classic X-villain Bastion, and action that only a team led by Wolverine can bring. All this is wrapped in a new vibrant X-Force cover that you’ll need to see to believe! Francis Davis of FractalMatter.com says “X-Force is a compelling must read.” and Kevin Powers of Comicsbulletin.com says “Anyone who likes mutants, military operations, Wolverine-esque violence and pure bad-assery is sure to love this title, because you get all of that rolled into one.” The events in Messiah CompleX shook the X-Men to their core and this special one-shot is a perfect look into how the all-new, all-different X-Force take on their first mission—but will they survive the X-perience? Don’t miss your chance to catch up on these sold-out issues in X-Force: Legacy of Vengeance!

Missy Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Holy crap! If that's the actual cover, I'll buy two! :laugh: (Funnily enough, that is the cover image Marvel's sending around. It's not an edit Newsarama made to cover the gore.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 HA! You know what I just noticed? Besides the obvious, Crain tweaked the cover a little by giving all of the characters smiles. In the original (X-Force #2), they're all frowning and gritting their teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 A smiling Wolverine is very unsettling, especially when surrounded by puppies and rainbows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 That cover is an instant classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
