• THE SCOOP: They're X-citing! They X-hilirating! They're...
X-pendable? Leaping from the blood-drenched pages of X-FORCE comes the mutant
super-team that America hates to love: X-Statix!
• THE STORY: America's #1 supergroup receives their biggest challenge
ever when a new team of even more media-savvy, camera-friendly, focus-group
mutants leaps into the spotlight! Can the squad formerly known as X-Force rise
to the occasion? This special 38-page extra-sized issue features a lead story by
Peter Milligan and Mike Allred and a back-up tale by Milligan and Darwyn Cooke
(Catwoman) featuring that loveable Doop!
• THE BUZZ: “Proceeding from the assumption that given a world
containing a score of super heroes, at least one bunch of them would prove to be
media-manipulating cynics, (X-FORCE is) a witty blast of media criticism
disguised as a garish spin-off of the X-Men.” -The New York Times Book
