FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023: AVENGERS/X-MEN #1
This issue features a pair of all-new stories that set the stage for the next evolution in mutant adventures, FALL OF X, and introduces an uncanny new lineup for a new team book launching next year. PLUS: a preview of Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti’s upcoming mystery project.

[Uncanny X-Man]

I'll just go ahead and say it: Benjamin Percy's books, with the Peacock Man's reveal on X-Force and the Beast's agenda revealed on Wolverine, sound both extremely compelling this month. Fingers crossed the execution doesn't fall short.

[JB]

Some covers that may not have been released yet.

Wait, are Legion of X #10 and Nightcrawlers #1 both being released in February? I'm confused.

Considering the solicitation and the cover for LoX, is Nimrod the villain that's been hiding in the Altar? Or perhaps that's an illusion.

EDIT: I wonder if they mixed up the solicits because they have Free Comic Book Day books listed as well. Just added the link to the first post, totally forgot.

Legion of X was delayed regarding the other books since the beginning of Destiny of X. Now It is going to be in issue 10 like the other books.

That makes complete sense. Thank you.

[mugen]

We see that the other series continues during SOS, the question is what happens to storm and the brotherhood, the legion of x and to emma and qc are they sent to another sinister timeline while the other mutants are staying in their worlds?
If so, I wonder who takes care of arakko and the quiet council on krakoa.

I guess those three books may just be set in the future only, and the opening and closing SoS one-shots will explain what happens to the three casts during that time? I'm curious how it all starts.

Marauders' solicit actually sounds interesting regarding Genosha and the wild mutant circuit.

[gonnagiveittoya]

So they're dumping the Threshold in Genosha then. Also, it all but outright confirms the theory that Mother Righteous is the magic Sinister.

[JB]

So they're dumping the Threshold in Genosha then

It almost sounds like they're going to try to fast track resurrection for the Genoshans? Unless the Threshold is a future Genosha and... I dunno.

[Nicoclaws]

This all look interesting. LoX and X-force are clearly coming to an end.

[Krakoa]

It almost sounds like they're going to try to fast track resurrection for the Genoshans? Unless the Threshold is a future Genosha and... I dunno.

Oh I totally think this is it. They're going to resurrect Genosha in the past somehow as Threshold.

[gonnagiveittoya]

Whatever it is hopefully it's the end of "humans are responsible for Genosha, oh why it's our teammate Mrs Hitler" stuff. Especially since it sounds like the Threshold like humans more than Mutants do

[jwatson]

These look good but not getting a single one unless Storm and the brotherhood counts as part of the red subscription. Skipping marvel all together in Feb with their choice for variants, if you don't stand for something even in your own personal way, you stand for nothing.

Oh and Xtreme because i subscribed to that months ago. lol. whew. that worked out actually. lol
