Will "Second Coming" End X-Force?

[Megalictis]

The crossover scheduled for Spring may mean the end of X-Force - at least the team and concept (and writers) we're used to.

For Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, "X-Men: Second Coming" is doubly satisfying because not only is it the final chapter of the Messiah Trilogy, it's also the final chapter in their run on "X-Force." "Chris and I have had a plan from the beginning of what we wanted to do with this team. We knew what the last page of our last issue on the title looked like," Craig Kyle said. "This is going to close a chapter for us, and like our run on 'New X-Men,' it's exciting because we planned for it and knew it was coming. We've been talking with everybody for about a year and a half now about how we wanted to go out, and it's going to be in a blaze of glory.

"'Necrosha' kind of gives us a chance for our team to do a big fight on their own. Mike Carey and Zeb Wells have come up with great stories to connect to 'Necrosha,' but those are spillover stories. X-Force is tackling the main threat on their own," Kyle continued. "'Second Coming' is a chance for them to jump back into the larger X-Men universe and fight side by side with their friends in a larger finale. We get two endings for our team, which is the best scenario possible."

Yost: "I think you can expect a radical shift in all the X-Men books. X-Force especially. Basically, X-Force was put together to combat enemies of mutantkind – the ones who wanted to wipe them out while they're at their weakest. They target those enemies first so that they never get the chance to hurt them. This is literally a situation where, if you kill one mutant, you're killing a large percentage of mutantkind. Scott had to be proactive. He had to take this stance. He had to strike first and be ruthless in order to protect his people and keep them alive until this girl came back. I don't think he even knew what was going to happen, but whatever did happen, he had to hold out. He had to hold the line, essentially. Whichever way this goes, X-Force may not be needed. "
