Two months ago, I ran the news that it looked like Inglorious X-Men, X-Men United, andGen X-23 may be reaching their end in October, November and December with their tenth issues. Inglorious X-Men#10 was listed for October with #10 but not for November. Gen X-23 has a “gut-punching finale” #10 solicit for November. And X-Men United has a tenth issue stub solicited for December, reading “The Man Without Fear has come to the X-MEN of Graymatter Lane for uncanny assistance of the kind only they can provide — but what threat could be so grave that even DAREDEVIL wants backup?! Meanwhile, matters at the school continue to unravel as a powerful mutant keeps Emma Frost in her sights…” with no confirmation one way or another apart from this Amazon listing.
But for X-Force, a reprieve, with the launch of Fugitive X-Force, a new five-issue series from Tim Seeley and Áthila Fabbio, in December, with Boom Boom taking the lead.

“FUGITIVE X-FORCE is a natural extension of INGLORIOUS, following up with the ramifications of the events of that series, with the militant, mutant strikeforce forced to pick up the pieces and move on,” Seeley explained. “But now, they’re on their own, wanted for murder, and hanging on by a thread. But, they’ve got something going for them, TABITHA SMITH—NEW LEADER! Boom-Boom has years of experience watching Cable work. She’s his best pupil in blowing things up…and she also looks great in very big shoulder pads.”
“I grew up in the ’90s so Wolverine and Nightcrawler were my favorite characters—until I saw Cable!” Fabbio shared. “I’m entering the world of X-Force with the same excitement I felt back then. I’m so grateful to Marvel that this is my first series—and to God for letting me live this dream of mine. I’m having a blast working with Tim Seeley and drawing what unfolds on these pages, and I hope readers enjoy it too! I am especially loving drawing Boom-Boom!”
“Marvel’s covert mutant strike team has a new mission statement: stay ahead! This December, X-FORCE enters a pulse-pounding new era in FUGITIVE X-FORCE, a five-issue limited series from writer Tim Seeley, following his acclaimed run of Inglorious X-Force which concludes in October. Joining Seeley in this escalation of his current saga is newcomer Áthila Fabbio, recent winner of the Marvel Art Atelier training program for aspiring artists, making his Marvel series debut. In this new chapter for the iconic team, founding member BOOM-BOOM steps up as leader following Cable’s disappearance. On the outs with the law and their fellow mutants, the explosive fan-favorite leads ARCHANGEL, HELLVERINE, DOMINO, and MS. MARVEL into the shadows, racing to find CABLE before the time-traveling soldier’s latest crisis destroys everything X-Force has fought for!”

X-Force was created by Rob Liefeld as a covert mutant strike team in the Marvel Universe, from the bones of the New Mutants series, as a more aggressive, militaristic counterpart to the X-Men. It first formed in 1991 when Cable, a time-travelling soldier from a dystopian future, turned Wolfsbane, Warpath, Boom-Boom, Shattersatar and Cannonball into a paramilitary unit.
The recent Inglorious X-Force team featured Cable leading Archangel, Hellverine, Boom-Boom, and Ms Marvel. But now they are on the run!
