X-Force: Killshot Anniversary Special #1 finds Liefeld and Bowers joining forces once again, following their collaboration on the 2017 Youngblood series, and it is clear from the first page that they intend for this to feel like a story ripped out of yesteryear. Liefeld's streamlined plot allows for Bowers to step in and play with the book's immense cast, offering up fun snippets of dialogue that keep things feeling breezy. RELATED: Marvel Pits a Venom and Carnage-Infected Miles Morales Against Deadpool The giant-sized X-Force battles everything in their path, but when a variant of longtime foe Zero arrives from outside of time, will X-Force be able to confirm their kill? As Cable slowly details his plan to storm Asteroid S and fight against Stryfe, the book shows a host of X-Force members from across time and space, including variants on Domino, Deadpool, Shatterstar, Warpath, the Thing, Major X and even Cable himself. X-Force: Killshot Anniversary Special #1 opens with the recently resurrected Cable rallying the troops on board the Graymalkin II. It is an action-packed comic with lots of gritted teeth and pouches, just as Liefeld likes it. The issue captures many of the qualities that turned the '90s' X-Men titles into a cultural phenomenon, while progressing plot threads developed in the 30 years since X-Force first launched. Alongside writer Chad Bowers, Liefeld turns the clock back to 1991 with a throwback adventure that takes Cable, Deadpool and time-traveling versions of other fan-favorites on a mission to fight Stryfe. Rob Liefeld returns to the franchise he created in the pages of X-Force: Killshot Anniversary Special#1.
