Inglorious X-Force Vol. 1

Cable assembles a new squad!

Cable returns from the future with a handful of clues — and gaping holes in his memory. An assassination is at hand, and he needs a new team to follow him into the fire. Hellverine, Archangel and OG X-Forcer Boom-Boom will be by his side — but who are they after, and what secret does Cable’s faulty memory hide? As Hellverine must face demonic temptation, thankfully Boom-Boom is one of Cable’s most trusted allies — or is she? A mission into a secret safehouse reveals a startling seed of doubt, and a hidden agent is stalking X-Force from the shadows. The mysteries deepen, and the action amplifies as the true mission comes into focus. Can X-Force get their target before their own assassin catches up with them?
