KEY ISSUE: For me, Yes, for the rest of the community No. Liefeld’s final touch of goodbye on the storyline here was on #12 so this one being a new crew joining in was a little sad for me and kept me on the edge of my seat on how they would continue to keep this an amazing series. Fortunately Fabian Nicieza maintained a great storyline

Only 5 graded at all, with all 5 of them obtaining the 9.8 status with me owning one. Currently though not a single one is on sale anywhere. Additionally their isn’t a Single CGC SS out their in existence so for me this one is gonna be another fun OAK to add when I can get around to finding an individual to sign and bless this one.

Story Title: Everything Hits The Fan – Nice way of saying that the $#@! Has hit it I guess.

SUMMARY:
X-Force Headquarters
Weapon: Prime scale the mountain X-Force has been using as their headquarters. They wait for Bridge to blow open the doors. When he does, they pour inside and X-Force jumps to attention. Bridge immediately goes after Cable. Each fight only one member of equal caliber, except Boom Boom and Cannonball both take on Rictor. Rictor tries to sway them to seeing that Cable is using them. Nobody believes him and Cannonball takes him out.
Cable, meanwhile, heads off to teleport the weapons out of the base so they can blow it up and make their escape. He talks to the 'Professor' and tells him to set the bombs that Domino setup to a 30 second delay that can only be activated by his voice command. He then heads back to join in the fight. Bridge thinks that Cable has left the team and ran off to save his own skin. Cable then shoots him and enters the fray.

Gideon's Ophrah Research Facility
Gideon inquires Mr. Joshua about their test subject. He advises that the test may not go as planned and may fail. He then states that their test subject, Sunspot, may die. Sunspot is then seen being hooked up to a machine and being electrocuted.

X-Force Headquarters
X-Force takes out each of the Weapon: Prime members out one-by-one and is almost surprised at how easy it was. Cable then heads to Domino and tells her that they must leave now and that he has called a SHIELD medivac unit to come and pick up the Weapon: Prime members. While they talk of their win, an explosion suddenly rocks the base. Cable is thrown off and does not understand how the bomb has been activated without his voice command.

The timer starts counting down from 30 seconds and Cable picks up Domino and runs into the tunnels. He does not have time to save X-Force and they have become separated. Cannonball suddenly yells at everyone to gather around him so that he can protect them all with his blast-shield. As soon as he flies to them the primary bomb detonates and the entire mountain base explodes.

Tolliver's Hideout
A news channel reports that they are not sure what has caused an explosion that registered a 3.5 on the the Richter scale, but that it may have been caused by an underground gas leak. It reports that authorities are en route to see if there are any survivors. Tolliver then celebrates with Pico and Domino about his mole, Vanessa's change of plans to set the bomb on a revised schedule and to the death of Cable...

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

Absolutely loved the simplicity of this cover. Reminded me of one of the first movies I had seen with my father, Terminator 2. Its funny when thinking back on it and the conversation of…”Don’t tell your mother” But looking at the cover alone this was one of those I simply had to pick-up the moment it became available.

Like #5 and #6 this was a part of the pick-up from that single ebay seller a few months ago. I think in total I was able to acquire 5 separate slabs at a fantastic price and when something like this pop’s up in a blue moon you just have to jump on it.
