Uncanny X-Force #18 just came out yesterday, and I’m still reeling from the events and conclusion of the Dark Angel Saga. And then today, this exclusive preview of the next issue of Uncanny X-Force #19, gets dropped in my inbox and my mind gets blown again. I had to scramble to share it with you all as we debut the amazing work of Robbi Rodriguez.
We’ve come to expect some amazing stuff from Rick Remender, and the first year of Uncanny X-Force has been a tour de force, but with the major, extended storyline coming to a close, you’d think they’d take a breather. Nope. It’s no surprise that Remender seems to get the best artists to work with, from the likes of Jerome Opena, Tony Moore and Esad Ribic, and now he’s adding another to that list: Robbi Rodriguez. Uncanny X-Force #19 feature’s Rodriguez’s art on interiors, and while this is just a taste, it’s clear that this issue is going to establish Rodriguez as a breakout talent. Just take a look below at the first 4 pages of the issue and see if you agree with me, I’m sure you will.
And as if the interiors weren’t enough, Uncanny X-Force #19 features a cover by Rafael Grampa, and variant covers by Ron Garney and Nick Bradshaw. This comic book may be too much for even me to handle.
With the Dark Angel Saga behind us, this may be a great opportunity for you to jump on and check out the best ongoing series at Marvel right now AND get some amazing art to enjoy.
Uncanny X-Force #19 hits comic shops NEXT WEEK, December 21st, and will cost $3.99.

Not a fan of the artwork, but Remender has me hooked for the duration of the run.
Agreed. Feels too loose, at least compared to Opena and the others.
This is definitely my most anticipated book lately. Ron, can we get a Fantomex: Where Do I Start?
I think it’s pretty much Grant Morrison’s run on New X-Men.
Morrison’s version of Gambit, really 😛
somebody put grampa on a book already!
For real that cover is sick lookin
been following him for a couple of years now, ever since i saw this: http://bigchase.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/furrywater1.jpg
his style reminds me of moebius and quitely, but still has retains something that is unique to him?
I have a feeling this will no longer be the book I love. The art, while not bad, is not fitting for this title. I’d rather have Billy Tan back on art with Dean White making him look halfway decent.
well said
Can it be next week now? Pleeeeeeeeease!
I hope Grampa keeps working for Marvel even though Jody is off the payroll. Amazing cover!
Robbi is freakin amazing. Looking forward to this very much.
Here’s a commission of Fantomex he did for me recently: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=837720&GSub=122973
So you’re the one who wanted the commission of Fantomex with a hard-on…
Yes, it was one of the many request, including lots of white everywhere.
@ jack In the voice of napoleon dynamite LUCKY. I love the bullets messed with the sound effects. That is RAD
Hot damn that’s good art. I actually love the cover better than the interior work.
I’m looking forward to Robbi’s issue for sure. By the way, I believe he will be signing copies at The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach, CA on Wednesday.
Ron, you should ask Conor to snag you a signed copy.
Here is the actual “invite” or notification of the signing.

It’s definitely a departure, but I could get used to it. At least it’s technically sound.
The fact is, Remender’s got me by the sack with this title. I’d be reading it no matter who was on art.
Except maybe Liefeld.
I can dig it.
That Grampa cover…man. I want to print it up really big and just roll around on it
