X-Force

In a brief but memorable two-issue run from 2001 to 2002, Marvel's X-Force was reimagined by writer Peter Milligan and artist Mike Allred as a satirical, media-savvy mutant team. This series stripped away the gritty paramilitary tone of the 1990s, instead presenting X-Force as a celebrity squad whose exploits are broadcast for public consumption. With Allred's distinctive pop-art visuals and Milligan's sharp, postmodern dialogue, this short-lived volume stands as a cult-favorite commentary on fame, reality TV, and superhero culture.
