X-Force Reading Order

May 2, 2018 by Dave 1 Comment

During the absolute peak of X-Men comic book sales popularity, an all-new Xtreme tactical strike team named X-Force was born. While initially and frequently fronted by Cable, the X-Force tag has covered a variety of X-teams throughout the years, tackling mutant problems too dirty or violent for the X-Men.

Below you’ll find a complete guide to X-Force comics throughout Marvel history, from the early 90’s through present day.

    Hi! So I recently purchases X-Force: Under The Gun, which is awesome so far. But
    I bought it because it had some tie-ins. I was just wondering where this would fall into the x-force timeline or if its like the “first” of the timeline order.

    Thanks!
