Dazzler, as usual, looks like the only one who's happy & havin' a good time.
And as much as I miss the likes of Moonstar, Rictor, Monet, CeCe Reyes, Blink, Karma, etc., glad to see relative newbies Dust, Hellion, & Surge, all made it in. Sunfire, Northstar, Cannonball, Sunspot, & Firestar too, of course, as it seems like they've all been absent from X-happenings for a while.
Of note also, Banshee's healed, and no Sage.
I don't think the characters covered means anything. It seems more likely that Marquez was allowed to draw whoever he wanted. Colossus and Cypher's designs are already out of date since one has a beard now and the other doesn't anymore.
Mild squee.

I hope the characters in that pic are not 1:1 for who will show up in the event
Missing some important ones
And has some I really don't care about or even actively dislike
But for the MOST part... ok. We'll have to find out what the actual book/event is
Also hoping those looks/costumes are not necessarily how they'll be in the book/event, some are way too regressive
Most hype is probably for the British Psylocke, what if anything is done with Polaris, the fact various "Kid Mutants" are present (spanning the generations of NM, GX, NXM).
WHere are the Cuckoos tho :/ Or Emma Frost as has been previously noted
Or Magneto
Not at all worried about no Cyke I am kinda sure he comes back during this event probably
ANd obviously we already have like 20 books focusing on Wolvie returning
Curious about Prof X as well

Forget the old ways - Krakoa is god.
OBEY
Pros:
-Motherfucking X-Women front and center the way they should be.
-Jean front and center
-Bishop, a black male, possibly getting some love. Hoping for a positive depiction of him for once
-A few of the young mutants I like are pictured.
-Pere Perez. Was godlike with the pencils on R&G. Nuff said.
-Kelly Thompson writing. I'm a fan after R&G.
-A woman writing.
-No sign of a couple of characters I find incredibly annoying/corny
Cons:
-No Claw-Man
-No QQ
-No Magneto
-KT is not a fan of Jean
-Actually, not sure either of the writers is big on Jean. Hope Brisson's a fan.
-There's a chance several young characters are going to get lazy-shock-valued to death.
-Reused title is not a sign of creativity
