X-Force Sells Out; Metallica Furious At Copycats
Call me Faraday 'cause we're doing the Time Warp again. It seems like we were just here, but once more Marvel is announcing a sold out book. This "Divided We Stand" storyline sure is panning out fairly well for Marvel.
This time it's X-Force #2 that's gone missing from Diamond, though still available in some local shops. Marvel is going back to print with a second edition of the seriously dark X-book. The new book, complete with variant cover, 'natch, will go on sale April 9th so you can still hit up your local retailer to order from Previews for you.
If you want to know what the noise is all about, check out the review HERE and decide for yourself if you want to give it a whirl.
Make the leap for the official press release from Marvel.
(And yes, that's right. I made two 'Lost' references in as many articles. Way I figure it, if marvel can announce two redux sell-outs from the early 90s then I can make two 'Lost' references in an afternoon. So there!)
Marvel is proud to announce that X-Force #2, an X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level. This marks the second straight sell-out for the red-hot series by the acclaimed writing team of Craig Kyle & Christ Yost and rising star artist Clayton Crain! As X-Force finds themselves at the mercy of the Purifiers, one member makes an "explosive" decision that may doom Wolfsbane!
To meet the overwhelming demand for this issue, Marvel is going back to press with X-Force #2 Second Printing Variant, featuring the stunning interior art of Clayton Crain
"It looks like X-Force really is unstoppable!" said editor John Barber. "It's been absolutely great seeing the reactions to all the X-books after Messiah CompleX. I couldn't be happier that X-Force has been winning over readers who were a little wary when the series was first announced. If you've been enjoying the first two issues, just wait till you see the next ones--issue three is incredible and issue four is one of the most powerful and intense comics I've ever read. The action and tension just keep ramping up on this series!"
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all issues of X-Force, as the series ties into the popular Divided We Stand storyline and continues to draw acclaim from all corners. With the return of another classic X-villain, the odds aren't looking good for the new X-Force! Don't miss the series that critics and fans agree is a must-read--X-Force!

ok you killed it. Points retaken
:-P
I think whats returning from the 90's is #1 mania. The artwork on this book is REALLY bad. I cant imagine how anyone can get past it even if the story lives up to its hype.
