CBR News: Rick, "Final Execution" runs through "Uncanny X-Force" #31-35, and then your run on the book is over. Why are you leaving and what made "Final Execution" a good note to end on?

Rick Remender: There were a lot of different factors involved. It was a very tough decision to make and it came down to a conversation I had about it with Kieron Gillen about how long I would stay past this. He said, "Know when to get off the stage." That's something that we maybe overlook.

I'm now doing "Uncanny Avengers" and "Captain America" and I realized that in order for me to do those and not want to blow my brains out, I might have to walk away from "Venom," "Secret Avengers" and "Uncanny X-Force." That was a bummer because I put so much into building them and getting the trains out of the station. I love all the characters, but that's just the reality. With "X-Force," I feel like this final story, which I'm very excited and have been building towards for a while now, pretty much wraps up everything we've been doing. It says everything I wanted to say about a kill squad while also really digging into the X-Universe that I loved so much as a kid growing up. So it really did come down to the fact that it was time to get off the stage.
