We may have fallen on hard times on The Sidekickcast with the whole #Sidekickcivilwar but there were moments, even in the throws of separation, of sheer genius. We pretty much guessed that one of the Age of Apocalypse characters were coming back to the 616 Marvel universe and we guessed Nightcrawler (with the possible inclusion of Jean?!). Don't believe me? Check it out here.

Fear Itself descends upon Wolverine's X-Force in a most Uncanny way, it's Uncanny X-Force vs a group of murderous zealots...so what else is new?! Well, this limited series is brought to you by Sidekick favourite, Rob Williams, he's Welsh and he did our live Secrets and Lies, of course he's our favourite, and on art, Simone Bianchi, who Sidekickcast co-host Dan has been quite rude about in the past but I like his style. Not just that but I think you'll recognise the guy X-Force have got strapped down and look like they'r about to torture, abrother in arms! Any excuse to see a little more of this dynamic and quite frankly kick-ass team, and I'm sold, so bring it on, I can't wait for 6th July and neither should you! Carry onto the next page for the rest of the preview and don't forget, keep 'em peeled Sidekicks.

It's X-Man vs X-Man, it what seems to be another rolling event in the X-Universe, can anyone remember when there wasn't an event in the X-Universe? Looks like it may be Cyclops' X-Men vs Wolverine's X-Men, I can get with that, just like playing Marvel vs Capcom.

Hey Sidekicks, long time no see. I trust you're all well and enjoyed the outstanding job @Neon_Lynx did editing the blog whilst I was getting a True Brit tan in sunny Spain? I'd like to extend my eternal thanks to him and the rest of the Sidekicks for a sterling effort in keeping the good ship Sidekick firmly on course whilst I indulged myself in the finer things in life.

Now I'm back and it's straight down to business with a preview for Uncanny X-Force #11 which begins The Dark Angel Saga, a story we here at Sidekick Central are very much looking forward to especially as it heralds the return to the Age of Apocalypse.

It was announced yesterday that Rob Williams and Simone Bianchi would be the creative team attached to the Fear Itself Uncanny X-Force 3-part mini series released in July. As we are lucky enough to have met Rob due to his appearance on our recent Secrets & Lies panel and we know he's a big fan of Uncanny X-Force we thought we'd ask him for his personal feelings on writing for characters currently being handled so well by Rick Remender. Read Rob's comments just after the jump:

The book I've been having my most recent love affair with is Uncanny X-Force, I've always been a fan of Rick Remender's writing and now that he's adding his crazy but stylish touches to the X-Men universe, I couldn't be happier.

What does this picture represent? I do not know, will it be awesome, most likely. In Uncanny X-Force and it's adjectiveless predecessor, they've been skirting around the issue of Archangel's double personna and his possible slip into darkness for some time now, clearly The Dark Angel Saga will address this, role on number ten.

When he's not writing dark and depraved comic books, torturing puppy dogs for fun or working on the arsom ECBT2000AD, Rich McAuliffe likes to taunt us with reviews of books he would usually hate:
Last time they were right.
I'd listened to the Sidekick guys spout off about how cool Daredevil was.. well up until Shadowlands anyway, so I thought I'd test it and pick up the monster omnibus of Bendis' Daredevil run. And like I said, they were bang on the money. Totally loved it.

Let's be honest who wouldn't want a 10 foot poster of Wolverine throughout the ages by Marko Djurdjevic? Especially when it looks like this:

Came home drunk from the pub last week and so eager was I to get into Uncanny X-Force #1 I intoxicato-read it and loved it. Still haven't gone back sober just in case it's not as good as I remember, may try to do the whole series drunk, it's the future I tells ya!

Anyway, enough of my drunken antics check out this preview of Uncanny X-Force #2:

Previously on X-Force...

So there it is, Uncanny X-Force. Love the creative team (FEAR Agent veterans), not so sure about the actual team. Marvel, do we really need another book with Deadpool in it? I used to love the guy but he's been completely over-exposed and now just pisses me off. Of course I'm being ridiculous, they say there are no bad characters, only bad writers and Rick Remender is a very, very good writer, in his hands I'm hoping I learn to love the Merc with a Mouth once again. No matter what happens, there is one thing I am sure about, it's going to look fantastic, just the few snippets of Jerome Opena's stunning art in the trailer have convinced me of that.
