Owner's Description
Published: January 1992
KEY ISSUE: Nope. I am always a fan of Stryfe and this is the first recorded appearance of Phantazia in the storyline, but she is obviously on the cover of X-Force #5…
Fabian Nicieza & Rob Liefeld story
Rob Liefeld Art
Rob Liefeld Cover
Total of 9 graded at 9.8 with me owning one and eBay showing not a single one out their. World Wide does have a moderately priced one as I but aside from that I think X-Force was losing steam with a fan base of CGC slab goers a this point. Their isn’t a Single CGC SS out their in exsistance so for me this one is on the top of my Liefeld to be signed list. Hopefully I can find his next stop after Alamo City and with the Pre-X-Force New Mutant Set I have him signing maybe get him to do a little signature here as this cover has a ton of potential for great placements.
Story Title: Under the Gun
SUMMARY:
Caracas, Venezuela
Stryfe talks to Zero about his role in the plans of the mutants. He states that he has a master plan that will soon come to light. He also explains that the other mutants who think they are the movers of the mutant world, are not.
Morlock Tunnels
The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants meets with Masque. They are trying to come to an agreement on forging an alliance of the Morlocks and the Brotherhood. Thornn stands up and says that the Morlocks will help as long as they let Thornn deal with Feral. They all agree.
X-Force headquarters
Domino and Cable relax from their time training. Domino again brings up the issue of Cable not telling Sam and Tabitha about his past. He gets a little upset and says that he will eventually but for now to just drop it.
Boom Boom and Cannonball are in the kitchen making sandwiches when they are interrupted by Feral. Boom Boom decides this is as good a time as any to confront her about her hurting Sam. Feral tells her to back off and she does not. Tabitha says her peace and then leaves. Feral screams after her that Boom Boom has made a terrible mistake.
Shatterstar and Warpath decide to spar in the woods around the base. Shatterstar expects to have better time training with a human than the interactions of the Danger Room. Siryn decides to officiate. Suddenly, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants attack and grab Siryn. Shatterstar takes on Sauron and the Toad tells the Brotherhood to attack...
PERSONAL COMMENTS:
When Shatterstar was first introduced in the series coming from Mojo world and putting a beating on most of the original X-Force members I saw so much potential in the character. He was a bad ass sword wielding warrior born character who I though was everything Longshot should have been but yet wasn’t. He had come our Universe looking for the X-Men and instead found the next best thing and possibly even better with Cable and his Black ops team. When Marvel decided to kick me in the junk though by turning him gay was kind of a turn off for me. He lost that bit of luster and what I only conceived as a let’s jump on the gay band wagon trip. Fortunately he has been written well in the newer pages of X-Factor and while I didn’t like a large portion of his story-line I tend not to think of the character’s sexual orientation but his ability to continue and create a cool storyline.
Like #5 this was a part of the pick-up from that single ebay seller a few months ago. X-Force isn’t always for everyone. But it sure is for me.
