Marvel Comics announced today Rob Liefeld is getting back in the saddle with X-Force for a 30-year anniversary one-shot called X-Force: Killshot. Liefeld will write and draw the one-shot, which will release sometime in comic book shops in November.
“X-Force was a huge gamble that paid off big for Marvel, paid off big for retailers and it changed my life forever,” Liefeld states, reflecting on the impact and legacy of the title. “I’m thrilled and honored to share Killshot with everyone. Thirty years in the making, I intend to make every page a huge kick for fans new and old.”
So what’s it about?
The special one-shot will feature an explosive adventure starring Cable and his mighty militant mutant squad, taking readers back to the beloved 90s heyday of the X-Men franchise.
