Previously, in Uncanny X-Men: The Phoenix Force has come to Earth, and possessed five of the X-Men. Magik, Namor, and Colossus were defeated by the combined forces of the Avengers, and their portions of the Phoenix’s power were transferred to Emma Frost and Cyclops, who now possess half of the cosmic firebird’s power each.

Marvel has announced that after ending in December with issue #35 by Rick Remender and Phil Noto, Uncanny X-Force will be back in January with a new #1 and a brand new creative team of Sam Humphries and Ron Garney, as teased a few weeks ago.
Humphries mentioned that the series will continue in the black-ops vein, and that he’s going to “write it like [he] stole it” from Rick Remender, hoping to continue in a similar way to how the book has previously been written but taking it in its own unique direction, with storylines spinning out of the end of the earlier volume of the title.
The book will feature new lead characters Storm, Psylocke, Spiral, and Puck, with new characters set to join in the first few issues.
