X-Force: Famous, Mutant, & Mortal – Part One!

About this episode

Nico and TK discuss the debut of the NEW X-Force, exploring its unique characters and the high stakes involved.

Nico & TK are talking about one of the most unforgettable debuts in X-Men history: the NEW X-Force, better known as X-Statix! The title takes the X-Men to places they’ve never been with a wild new cast, higher and more dire stakes, and just one rule: anyone can die at any time. Mister Sensitive, U-Go-Girl, Dead Girl, The Anarchist, and of course DOOP lead the charge into an all new era. Plus Nico gives a complete history of X-Force/Statix in the MU, including interviews, read orders, and more!
