Marvel released a sneak peek of Uncanny X-Force #2, the next chapter in the groundbreaking new series from the creative team of Rick Remender and Jerome Opeña! (See the PHOTOS accompanying this article)

In the the new chapter, X-Force's mission has gone horribly wrong, as return of Apocalypse comes even closer. The team has been scattered across the Blue Area of the Moon and EVA has been severely wounded at the hands of the Last Horsemen.

Is this the end of X-Force? The team have not yet even completed their first mission. Followers of the Marvel series will just have to find that out for themselves. But rest assured that Uncanny X-Force will give them ultimate satisfaction as the series got rave reviews from critics for its first chapter:

Robert Tacopina of ComicsBulletin.com said: "Jerome Opeña was the perfect choice as artist for the story. His style is sketchy but full of action and detail, and he raised the bar in terms of infusing the characters with more emotional detail than we have witnessed in the past."

In a teaser, Marvel says: "With no X-Force on Earth to stop the ascension of Apocalypse, a new and Dark Age is about to dawn and man and mutant alike! Can X-Force stem the tide of ancient evil?"
