Written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Jerome Opena, Uncanny X-Force is a bloodthirsty comics parable for our post-9/11 traumaverse, where unrestrained ultraviolence rules our dark days and nights.
“[Wolverine] and the members of X-Force have each been twisted, programmed and manipulated by unpleasant people,” Remender explained in Marvel’s July preview. “They struggle to overcome their past, yet they accept that they are killers, each capable of the hard resolutions. They are stained, so it falls on their shoulders to do the ugly yet necessary jobs, to take out bad people who’ve earned such severe methodology.”
Screen the video and let us know if you’re feeling Uncanny X-Force ‘s “stained” fantasy, or if you just dig Wolverine’s new duds.
