X-Force: Regenesis

[sherkahn]

And speaking of Uncanny X-Force, the team gets a new member. ComicBookResources has the preview, and some of you may squee.

The fallout from Schism continues.





It's not the Kurt Wagner that we know, but we do get a Nightcrawler back in action.


and have we seen Robbi Rodriguez's work before?

This...doesnt sit right. bear in mind I'm a huge AoA fan, but I feel Kurt....is being shoehorned so they can have him around again. I dont like that idea.

It goes against what this universe's Kurt believed in, this isnt the Kurt the X-men love, this is a hardened atheist killer, who while similar, grew up in a different environment.

I'd have rather seen them bring back Sabretooth. That would be far far more interesting

AOA Sabretooth or 616?

Because they've tried 616 a few times and it always ends the same way. AOA would be an intriguing addition.

I still keep hopes of Hepzibah on this team. They bring her back from space. She's on an X-Team for four issues, then bam, nothing more than Warpath's never mentioned anymore girlfriend and a cameo on SWORD.

AoA Sabes. I was a big exiles fan, and I always loved having him around. 616 Sabes, while fun, should remain dead, he became sortof a one trick pony.

MEh, screw AOA sabretooth, give us Exiles!Mimic in 616 X-men.

Should be a fun contrast.

Isn't Exiles!Mimic dead though?

I'm working on the premise that we'll eventually get the real Kurt back and there will be all sorts of deliciousness as he tries to figure out WTF about this AOA refugee.

I must also admit I'm kind of intrigued by Wolverine being faced with a Kurt that's just as damaged as he is. The Logan/Kurt friendship worked so well because Kurt was that serenity Logan needed. He's not going to find it with AOAKurt, and it should be interesting to watch him try.

I would honestly like to see Logan try to teach AoA Nightcrawler the things Kurt had taught him, to make sure the memory and legacy of his buddy lived on.

[jetwolf]

Totally. I absolutely adored Nightcrawler and can't wait for his inevitable return (because comics), but I think there's a lot of potential in bringing in AOAKurt. Uncanny Stabby Force is a title that I've disliked on premise and mostly stayed away from, but I have to admit that whenever I flip through an issue it's been some of the most emotionally resonating X comics out there. I think this has a lot of potential, and from what I've seen of the series so far, I feel pretty confident that they're not going to miss the opportunity to explore that.

I feel like that's what people miss when they just look at the premise and say they don't want it. While true the premise is brutal, there is frankly a shocking amount of work that goes into the characters. Deadpool especially.
