The hotly anticipated X-FORCE #1, from the acclaimed writing duo of Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost and rising star artist Clayton Crain, brings Cyclops' mutant black ops team into conflict against the mutant-hating Purifiers…and there are deadly consequences! The all-new X-Force must accept the ramifications of their mission that's so secret not even the most trusted members of the X-Men can ever learn about it! All this wrapped up in a regular cover by Crain, a "bloody" variant and another variant by superstar artist Travis Charest!

"This series is packed full of action and intrigue," says series editor John Barber, "If you've liked 'Messiah CompleX,' you'll love X-FORCE. These are the characters that aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, or to take the fight to the bad guys. And when the bad guys are the Purifiers assembling a truly terrifying group of the worst villains mutantkind has ever faced, no quarter will be asked and none given!"

Perfect for readers new and old, X-FORCE #1 launches a dangerous new era for mutantkind, featuring the shocking return of a fan-favorite X-villain!
