While X-Force limped along at the bottom of Marvel's comic line up, the order was given to get a new creative team in there to try something else to help boost sales. The grabbed Peter Milligan (from Madman comic fame) and Mike Allred to handle a new direction for the series and oh what a direction it was!
Turning everything around in a complete 180 they introduced a new team of super heroes who had assumed the title of X-Force. Each with weird powers such as throwing up acid, super sweat, skin that could fill up with fat on command, being super sensitive and being dead....yep, that's an ability too.
And don't get used to the characters because they'll eventually all die as the series goes on.
This comic is GENIUS! I loved every minute of it. Suddenly the book spun off into it's own title "X-Statix" and entertained me the entire way through! One of the better Marvel comics I've read in this collection. Super happy it was also one of the last so I could end everything on a good note!
If you're interested in a not-so serious super hero team, look no further than this! Well worth my time!
