A few thoughts:
1) Is Hickman really gonna make me like Sage?
2) The Powers of X stuff is impossible to make guesses about but I love all of the designs
3) Wholesome Wolverine and then Xavier smiling at Jean makes me think Charles did something messed up to pull this off.
4) My boy Doug is back!
All in all, I think this is what we’ve been waiting for.
The art is gorgeous.
Portals to Krakoa? Maybe it IS on Mars after all.
If Powers of X isn't an AU or the future, it seems like Fantomex's World.
Like Sage? Even Hickman's not that good a writer.
Wolverine playing in the grass with kids makes this all highly suspect. The fact that Charles is wearing a Cerebro at all times certainly doesn't bode well for anyone's free will.

This looks really good and there were some great ideas floated! Really hope this doesn't end up being a time travel plot though, because that definitely would take away from the story for me. Either way, it looks innovative and I'm excited to see guys like Cypher showing up. Really interested to see what role Xavier plays in this because things seem pretty idyllic at the moment, but that can't possibly last, right? I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't manipulating things some how or one of his plans goes horribly wrong.
If you look at the debuts there are a lot of deliberate mistakes, mainly the years of publication.
Maybe not time travel or alternate realities but perhaps merging timelines?
1) SteelMagik is called 'Rasputin'
2) Redcrawler is called 'priest'
3) Xavier created a pocket dimension (or smth like this) with Krakoa for the mutants
4) Banshee is back
I'm also a bit worried about POX. Definetely looks like some kind of dystopian future, which is an instant no.
