Thanks to Sam H for answering the questions, and to Phil for asking them. Thanks to Marvel (and Ron G) for the artwork. Nice article.

Thanks, I hope it does well, and Puck is a great character, yes.

I was already sold on this book, but this quote "Puck is a wild man and goes wherever he wants. He's also intensely loyal, so his joining of X-Force is in no way a rejection of his pals in Alpha Flight or his main man Logan at the Jean Grey school." is awesome to hear

I'm sold too. The only thing is, I'm not so big on the killing part. I'm torn about that, just trusting Sam Humphries to do it well. Will Eugene be the older, wiser, voice of reason among the group or bloodthirsty and unprincipled as part of his "badass" thing?

[Mokole]

rplass, that would make sense. After all, he is the only one who knows how to use weapons well, but never uses them. And yes, the AF reference is good news.

Um, you forgetting about Volume 4?

[Le Messor]

Wait... so their first adversary is a good guy?

I don't know how to feel about this book, but will have an idea when I pick it up. It's already on my standing order.

Calvin: It snowed last night! Turn on the radio! Maybe they closed school. Maybe the school buses froze up! Maybe the principal can't get out of his driveway!
Mum: Get dressed, Calvin. It only snowed an inch.
Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.

Bishop's been a bad guy for a few years now since he turned traitor on the X-Men in the 'Messiah Complex' crossover where he shot Xavier and then tried to kill the baby Hope, which continued into the last Cable series.

I'm not sure, in X-circles, how that makes him a bad guy, Phil. There are numerous (many too many to list) X-type 'heroes' who have much longer and much worse lists of atrocities committed than that.

Which, of course, goes back to an old discussion on this forum regarding heroes who act like heroes and not like villains.

Hey, I don't write the things...

Hey, I don't write the things...

Yes you do and you know it!!!

(Joke! Joke!)

[sengsterooney]

A superb interview and it's good to see that Sam has good plans for the use of Puck in UXF. I can't wait to pick up #1!!
