Joining Seeley in this escalation of his current saga is newcomer Áthila Fabbio, recent winner of the Marvel Art Atelier training program for aspiring artists, making his Marvel series debut.
Seeley explained in a Marvel press release:
“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,”
“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—NEW LEADER! 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.”
Artist and series collaborator Áthila Fabbio added:
“I grew up in the ‘90s so Wolverine and Nightcrawler were my favorite characters—until I saw Cable!”
“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!”
