•PHOENIX stands trial for freeing the former PRIME SENTINELS without permission and for unlawfully entering the minds of the mayors of Utopia, DAVID the POSTMAN and ASTRID BLOOM. Having found no evidence that they used their mental powers to win the election or to incite anger and fear in Utopians, Jean may find herself and her increasingly unpopular X-Men eXiled!
•ARCHANGEL and CANDY 'SERAPH' SOUTHERN's twins are born on the solstice! Announcing the births of BELLE and WARREN WORTHINGTON IV! Mutant babies born of a human mother and mutant father, their DNA infused with CELESTIAL technology? Sounds like the messiahs the ACOLYTES' religious texts foretold! CLAN AKKABA, the cult of dead APOCALYPSE, also wants the newborns, and both sides will tear Utopia, each other, and anyone who gets in the way apart to get them!
•As KATU calls down destructive tentacles of cold plasma sprites from the upper atmosphere to blast the shapeshifting cultists, SENYAKA's psi-whips, VINDALOO's flaming napalm, and MELLANCAMP's claws tear through the PSI-COPS protecting the infirmary! Archangel and the twins' godparents, ICEMAN and Phoenix, may be the newborns' last line of defense!

Hounds Variant Cover by JIM LEE
Theme Song: Ravel/Russo/Rodrigo - Fauxlero
•Israel's Lake Hula Resort and Spa is one of the world's most exclusive... partly because it is staffed solely by and caters solely to mutants. DAVID HALLER finds himself drawn there but not for reiki and hydrotherapy: everyone at the resort is one of his escaped splinter personalities! They don't want to return to his mind for reintegration, and to ensure this, some of them plan to remove David's head!
•Someone or something is trapping David's psychic essences and making them HOUNDS: mutants with various powers transformed into vicious trackers and killers of other mutants! Aromatherapy deep cleanse facials can't be the cause of this. Or can they?
•With the help of the memory-manipulating splinter personality calling himself PTONOMY, can David free his other states of mind from the embrace of the mysterious dark queen perverting their temporary bodies?

Variant Excalibur Christmas Cover by DAVE COCKRUM
Theme Song: Sarah McLachlan - Angel
•X-Corps take comatose MEGGAN to the Muir Island mutant hospital and research station for DR. KEVIN MACTAGGERT to look after her. Pragmatic security chief BRIAN BRADDOCK and an uncharacteristically cold BANSHEE believe Meggan is too great a risk to be treated there... or to remain alive.
•The recently reawakened EMMA FROST takes stock of where and when she is and what she will do now. SIRYN worries about her father Banshee's post-resurrection attitude adjustment. DAZZLER prepares to sing at a rocking new year's eve party in Time's Square. And M, the PENANCE TWINS, and EMPLATE do what they've always done: pretend like nothing is wrong and enjoy X-Mas family dinner.
•The armoured NANNY and her fearsome ORPHAN MAKER have been kidnapping mutant children with Down's Syndrome or other developmental conditions from notoriously impoverished, dangerous, and anti-mutant countries, to care for them at Boston's Sunset Orphanage. Will DR. CECILIA REYES, TRIAGE, and ELIXIR alert the authorities or can Nanny's activities be covertly sponsored by X-Corps? It could be just the X-Mas miracle these very special youngsters need.

1437 - King James I of Scotland has just been assassinated, but not by his Uncle as history believes. A symbiote possessed peasant has just eaten the King and the nobles of Scotland are ready to follow their new leader and be hosts for their own symbiotes. Never mind England, the entire world will fall to this symbiote army. Unless of course the Agents can put history back on course! Bucky and Bishop must come up with a plan to defeat hundreds, possibly thousands of symbiotes when normally one would be a fight too far. Of course if they don't this would soon become a Planet of the Symbiotes!
