X-Force

Launching Marvel's "Dawn of X" era, this series redefined the mutant black-ops team as a unified, proactive force for Krakoa. Written with a focus on the quiet moments between missions, the book paired a sprawling cast with Pepe Larraz's dynamic, expressive art across its initial 10-issue run. It matters as the foundational title that established the new status quo for mutantkind, blending high-stakes action with intimate character work.
