Wildchild in Year of the X-Men promo

[Le Messor]

Which is weird, because the exact opposite happened with Uncanny...

But Claremont has largely been slipping lately. Though I have enjoyed the first two Forever trades.

To be fair as soon as Claremont came on to Vol.1 my enjoyment dramatically dropped and by #100 I loathed the title so didn't pick up New.

That title was already dead in the water by the time he came on, IMO, he just didn't do it any favours, either.

Ah well, we'll always have Winick.

These days, CC does his best work when he has his own sandbox to play in where he can do whatever the heck he wants. Exiles had already grown so convoluted when he came on, it hardly counted as one anymore. But X-Men Forever was great, even if the start of it left me skeptical, and I loved X-Men: The End, in all its insanity (it's the same part of me that loves every bit of Earth X, even as it got increasingly ridiculous and incomprehensible as it went on).

BACK ON TOPIC, I'm getting sick of revisiting AoA every five minutes, but Uncanny X-Force is surprisingly awesome, so I've got faith in this.

You can see him on the last panel of the last preview page.

I recognise Wolvie, Deadpool (?), Psylocke and one of the Beasts, but who's the fella in white with black zig zags?

[rplass]

Is that Sabretooth or Wild Child? I thought it was Sabretooth when I saw it. Sort of has a wider and fuller face than AoA Wild Child. Also why would Wild Child be observing X-Force that way...

[Mokole]

It's Wild Child, Sabretooth's uniform in AoA has no sleeves, Kyle's does. Also, you can see it's Kyle on the previous page, bottom middle, watching them.

The zig zag guy is Fantomex.

[Phil]

The one on the 2nd to last page is definitely Kyle. Not sure about on the double page spread though.

[DelBubs]

Thanks in regards to the Fantomex heads up. Just read his Wiki entry at Marvel and Wikipedia. Wish I had remained ignorant now , but it does remind me as to why I stopped reading X stuff.

Issue is out today and I'm loving it, probably because I am loving Age of Apocalypse very much still!! To clarify, both Sabretooth and Wild Child are in this issue and they both are watching X-Force, so I was right and so was Phil.

Wild Child rips the hell out of Wolverine, faster than he can heal, (wow), but ultimately is knocked out with an elbow. Wild Child talks in this issue too, nothing brilliant but he didn't talk on panel in the original series, so that's weird. He's still Sabretooth's little pet in this issue and is sure to appear in issue #13 too.

Not sure if he was knocked out or merely swatted away. definetly a good showing for WC.

Wolverine defeated AOA Sabretooth far to easy though

Then you missed a few decent stories, and some okay art. Nothing grandtabulous, but not so shabby.
