Wolverine, Warparth, X-23 & Wolfsbane are X-Force and they are on the job to clean up the trash.

No Marvel mutant fan will want to miss this high-octane team book. With a line-up of some of the X-Men's most feral characters, X-Force #1 promises action and excitement as the team takes on the dirty missions — and the post-crossover-party clean-up!
