I am betting if she isn't the traitor then Rasputin is going to be on this team.
"She never loved you, you know you always frightened her"- Cyclops
"And if she was here right now....Who do you think she would be more frightened of?"- Wolverine
Enter... the age of apocalypse.
This is my current guess as well.
Post FoX, the council seems to be disbanded, and the X-Men are Immortal no more. Makes sense for this to be Gillen's follow-up. And Apoc, the council's OG, coming back to form a deadly team out of the council's wreckage makes story sense.
If so, we might be looking at splintered X-Men factions: those who stand with Apoc on the New X-Men, and those who stand for co-existance in Duggan's Adjectiveless squad\Ewing's Red. Another schizm? A three way war with Orchis involved? Time will tell
Sounds fantastic and along the lines I’ve been thinking if this is indeed an A book. The pain and trauma mutantkind is about to experience during Fall of X I believe will reshape and shift a lot of moods and feelings about wanting to cooperate with humans. If Orchis is successful in turning most of the world against Krakoa (which it seems it will be) I can see many mutants refusing to want to try Krakoa/unity all over again.

Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
Is he off Venom? I didn’t see his name under the October solicits so I was wondering. If not, I can’t see him doing Venom, Thor, and Avengers book, and TWO X-titles.
Even if that generation is associated with the New X-Men title, I feel like casual readers likely still associate the title with Morrison’s run. Despite being controversial it’s still the run I see most recommended to new readers and it’s constantly referred to as a tent pole moment for the franchise.

Yes! I've been theorizing a new Schism is coming for a while now and Apocalypse as one of the sides would be a nice twist. Although given how Ewing wrote him on the Heralds one-shot, I'm not entirely sure he would be the one who's NOT for co-existance as he seems to be longing for peace rather than war these days.
I hope Ben Reily is on the team.
"Cable was right!"
Is helion going to become mutant super Jesus? If not then what's the point
Except for the unlikely scenario this is actually about the Academy X New X-Men, I doubt it'll interest me.
I hope it's The Promise....coming out of suspended animation and adding more mutants of color.

No he's not, Torunn Gronbekk is just taking over Ram V's half of the book since he went exclusive with DC. It'll be a similar switching off every few issues arrangement (not sure if it will be the same split of Al - Eddie, Torunn - Dylan or not). (Confirmed on Torunn's Twitter)
