  3. Haha, I explained this to a buddy yesterday and the concert I went to, the dude says "He's your ex-man like Cannonball" so we literally just turned to each other and started laughing in the middle of the concert.

    You know me well X!

  4. It was such a lay-up... I was just glad you finished it. If you hadn't, you'd be DEAD to me! :D

  5. Yeah, those two were an item for a while in the mid-'90s X-Force days. I recently read a few issues from the John Francis Moore run, and they were surprisingly good!

  6. Lol @ Dead to me. I feel like that's a reference I should pick up on but I can't place it...

  7. Wait, Sam and Dani were an item during the old X-Force comic?! I don't remember that at all! I remember Sam being with Lila, Meltdown/Boom Boom, and Lila again, but am totally blanking on Dani... What issues were those, because I have the full X-Force run, and that sounds like some prime material for this blog.

  10. Goddamn it! I KNEW i should've known that. And hey, that's one out of like a million! Everyone's allowed one X. Besides, I'm the true KING of the Hill, you're a peasant at best. :P In fact, I think I am a God to them.

  12. X-force is on of the most consistent goo books they made! the Nicieza, Loeb , JF Moore runs gave us many great characters & dvlpt!
    They were all likable & believable(except Shatterstar but he must be over the top!) that it pains they got sidelined & never got their chance to be further expanded (I'd also add Havok & Polaris in that list of screwed over people)
    For fuck sake Cannonball should a leader not af ucking rookie!

  13. The way Cannonball was treated when he joined the X-Men in the 90's pisses me of still. He went from competent leader of the New Mutants AND X-Force, to a bumbler who couldn't do ANYTHING right... He was X-Men ready WAY before he joined that team, and they made him into a complete joke. Sam's initial X-run was truly horrid.
