Can't wait to see what happens in November, I'm really interested in what happened to Eva when dog went to the future. Not to mention Andrea Sorrentino is a great choice in artist.

Edit: Apparently this is only Andrea Sorrentino's first marvel project and he actually has more in the future. Honestly can't wait, he's a great artist.

I wonder what will happen when it's reveal to the other X-men, what Eva knew about the future ?

Beast got's it coming... In the trail of hank McCoy

I've read every DC book Sorrentino has drawn. I hope Marvel puts him on a decent ongoing. He'd be great on a Dr. Strange book.

Andrea Sorrentino's art promises to expand upon the powerful stylistic legacy of UXN Annuals. Art Adams, Bill Sienkiewicz, Alan Davis and others have historically fulfilled these giant sized opportunities with giant-sized expressions that have marked many of these 'departures' as stand-alone classics. It's great to see that tradition celebrated and exciting to see Bendis creatively engaged in forging new frontiers for his storytelling.

Eva is an awesome character with a ton of charisma...immediately 'knowable' - a natural protagonist who readily garners the reader's perspective. A true scene stealer with an intriguing promise that has already set her apart from her fellow modern day 'new mutants' as the one to watch. I can't believe we have to wait until November for Beast to have some sort of reckoning...but I'm glad Eva's story will be bigger than that one...and that perhaps Hank McCoy can unravel himself from the mess he's made - by discovering in his own time and immediate place in a person who embodies the 'living' entity of 'timespace' - this all looks and feels fantastic!

Dear Lord, yes.

Team Beast!!!

I love Eva she's great a new kitty pryde

[ohsnapulon5000]

i'm looking forward to the X-men2099 cast getting a relaunch out of this. La Lunatica, Krystalin, Brimstone Love, Meanstreak, Bloodhawk, etc... are all fantastic. Even if it's just them showing up in the Annual and that's it, i'd be fine.

Eva gets it so goooooood.

I'm not wild about some of the stuff Bendis has done with existing characters (X-23), but his Eva is fantastic. Looking forward to this.

I'm currently trade waiting all the X-books. But I will be buying this in November because Sorrentino is on art.

[Tenebrae]

I'm fairly indifferent to Eva but that art is going to be hard to resist.

So... this team has two mutants that can time-travel? That's neat. It does appear that Eva can do more stuff with time than Illyana, Eva is more of a sculptor/manipulator of time but Illyana is just transportation across spacetime. Does Illyana still have the same limits she used to have (the further in spacetime she travels the less accurate she is)? I suspect that the annual won't cover the differences but it should be touched upon. Cyclops' side already has five telepaths that use their powers differently, he can have two time travellers.

He could have three if Kiden Nixon ever turned up.
