Boom-Boom Takes The Lead In New Miniseries ‘Fugitive X-Force’ – The Fandomentals
This December, X-Force enters a new era in Fugitive X-Force, a five-issue limited series from writer Tim Seeley, following his run of Inglorious X-Force which concludes in October. Joining Seeley in this escalation of his current saga is Áthila Fabbio making his Marvel series debut.
In this new chapter for the mutant strike team, founding member Boom-Boom (aka Boomer, aka Tabitha Smith, aka Dr. Madame Mcsplode) steps up as leader following Cable’s disappearance. On the outs with the law and their fellow mutants, the explosive fan-favorite leads Domino, and Ms. Marvel (also Hellverine and Archangel) into the shadows, racing to find CABLE before the time-traveling soldier’s latest crisis destroys everything X-Force has fought for!
FIRST, THEY WERE INGLORIOUS… NOW THEY’RE FUGITIVES!
When X-Force discovers that their leader Cable’s mind had been compromised, a new leader arises! Boom-Boom takes over the team for the first time, but it couldn’t be under worse circumstances: X-Force has been framed for a horrific crime! As they run for their lives from, well, everyone, Domino searches for Cable, but she might not like what she finds!
“FUGITIVE X-FORCE is a natural extension of Inglorious, following up with the ramifications of the events of that series, with the militant, mutant strikeforce forced to pick up the pieces and move on,” Seeley explained. “But now, they’re on their own, wanted for murder, and hanging on by a thread. But, they’ve got something going for them, Tabitha Smith! Boom-Boom has years of experience watching Cable work. She’s his best pupil in blowing things up…and she also looks great in very big shoulder pads.”
“I grew up in the ‘90s so Wolverine and Nightcrawler were my favorite characters—until I saw Cable!” Fabbio shared. “I’m entering the world of X-Force with the same excitement I felt back then. I’m so grateful to Marvel that this is my first series—and to God for letting me live this dream of mine. I’m having a blast working with Tim Seeley and drawing what unfolds on these pages, and I hope readers enjoy it too! I am especially loving drawing Boom-Boom!”
