About this Collection

Collecting issues #16-20 of the 2009 X-Force series, 'Not Forgotten' follows the team as they deal with the fallout from the death of a teammate. With Archangel's darker nature fully unleashed and the threat of the resurrected Selene looming, the squad—including Wolverine, X-23, and Warpath—must confront their own brutal methods and the cost of their mission. This volume also features a crossover with the 'Necrosha' event, bringing in characters like Cypher and Magik as the boundaries between life and death blur.

"Suicide Leper: Part One" kicks off a high-stakes X-Force mission in 2009, as the team fractures under the shadow of a devastating attack orchestrated by the Leper Queen. With Oracle’s orders in play, the mutant squad scrambles to prevent another massacre, splitting up to cover every possible threat—while X-23 and Archangel are thrust into the heart of the next explosion. Meanwhile, Beast races to complete the time-travel device meant to send X-Force into the future to aid Cable and Hope, and Rahne finds herself face-to-face with Hrimhari, the Asgardian wolf prince she once loved. Written by Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost and illustrated by Clayton Crain in a striking, all-in-one art role, this issue blends visceral action with emotional weight, all under Crain’s intense cover art.

Under orders from Oracle, the Leper Queen forces Beautiful Dreamer to explode in a crowd of people attending an anti-mutant rally, killing 1,100. With the threat of another such attack looming, X-Force splits up to try and cover all the possible bases. X-23 and Archangel draw the short straw and get caught in the next explosion. Meanwhile, Beast finishes working on the machines that will send X-Force into the future to help Cable and Hope. Also, Rahne is reunited with her former love, the Asgardian wolf prince, Hrimhari.
