X-Force Vol. 1

From the ashes of the Krakoan era, tech mutant Forge leads an all-new, all-different X-Force strike team!

In a fractured world, the brilliant mutant Forge uses his powers of invention to devise the only fix: a custom-made, handpicked team of mutants for off-the-books missions so dire, so integral to the fate of the Marvel Universe that there’s no time to stop for permission! Forge leads Rachel Summers, Betsy Braddock, Sage, Surge and new sensation Tank as X-Force! But with increasing threats across the planet, Forge will recruit a specialist for each target: first up, that regenerating degenerate, Deadpool! But when the next world fracture is detected in Wakanda, can the team possibly stop...the Black Panther?! And things really get explosive when Nuklo brings Earth to the brink of destruction!

Born in Alberta, Marcus To has been drawing since childhood but never dreamed he would be able to do it professionally.

To’s Marvel credits include Black Panther, New Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men: Blue and New Warriors, but Excalibur is his longest and most acclaimed run.
