Generally speaking, the traditional amount of time between the cover date and the release date of a comic book throughout most of comic history has been two months (it was three months at times, but not during the times we're discussing here). If you folks have any suggestions for October (or any other later months) 2010, 1995, 19 comic books for me to spotlight, drop me a line at Here is the guide, though, for the cover dates of books so that you can make suggestions for books that actually came out in the correct month.
#X 23 X FORCE SERIES#
Do you kill a clone of Apocalypse under the assumption that he is inherently bound to the path of evil? That's the question that this opening arc of Uncanny X-Force deals with it and it ends up driving the series for the first year or so of stories. Here, though, the question is even more difficult, as this is a CLONE of Apocalypse. The first issue opens with Deadpool doing some deep recon on some sort of dark event before he is captured. Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, Fantomex and Deadpool. Cyclops' X-Force team disbands, but Wolverine thinks that there still was a need for a black ops team and so Wolverine and Archangel re-formed the team, now only using adults that Wolverine felt were up to it. The fall 2010 relaunches of a few titles saw X-23 leave X-Force and get her own series, as the other X-Men are all a bit aghast at Cyclop's usage of her. So Cyclops took her biggest concern and used it for his own purposes. Not only that, but one of the members of the team, X-23, had specifically come to the X-Men for help with the fact that she had been forced into becoming a killer. The problem with that approach is that Cyclops was publicly presenting one image of the X-Men while quietly directing the murders of his enemies. Part of their overall defensiveness led Cyclops to decide that the best defense was a good offense and Cyclops enlisted Wolverine's help in creating a new version of X-Force that was a black ops murder squad that would take out threats to the X-Men before they got too big for the X-Men to handle. It gave the X-Men some hope that they had not had for a quite a while, as they had been playing defense for much of the previous few years. Late 2010 was an interesting period for the X-Men titles, as they had just finished the major crossover, X-Men: Second Coming, and at the end of it, some new mutants were found for the first time since the Decimation (where Scarlet Witch's reality-altering powers reduced the amount of mutants on Earth to a few thousand total). Today, we go back to October 2010 for the introduction of Uncanny X-Force in Uncanny X-Force #1 (by Rick Remender, Jerome Opena and Dean White). The occasional fifth week looks at books from 20/30/40/60/70/80 years ago. The fourth week looks at a book that came out this month 75 years ago. The third week looks at a book that came out this month 50 years ago. The second week looks at a book that came out this month 25 years ago. The first week of the month looks at a book that came out this month ten years ago. Each week will be a look at a comic book from a different year that came out the same month X amount of years ago. The concept is that every week (I'll probably be skipping the four fifth weeks in the year, but maybe not) of a month, I will spotlight a single issue of a comic book that came out in the past and talk about that issue (often in terms of a larger scale, like the series overall, etc.). This is "Look Back," a feature that I plan to do for at least all of 2020 and possibly beyond that (and possibly forget about in a week, who knows?).
