Featuring Deadpool & Wolverine***DISCLAIMER the host of the episode lost audio half way through the episode. So if the episode feels disjointed during the end and ends abruptly, its Riverside's fault and we did our best to edit the audio into a cohesive episode. We chose Rick Remender's X Force because of a certain big new MCU movie on its way. Deadpool & Wolverine are lead characters in this comic along with the rest of the team. Their banter, their combat, all of what makes them both great characters is on display in this comic book. It’s also a great read.
