Not excited yet, I guess I will have to wait for some of the satellite titles, but no single core team impressed me.
So the rumors were:
X-Men by Gail Simone and David Marquez
Sentinels by Alex Paknadel
Young X by Eve Ewing
Cyclops by Jed Mackay and Ryan Stegman
Phoenix by Stephanie Phillips
Wolverine by Saladin Ahmed and Greg Capullo
Mystique by Declan Shalvey
Maybe instead of "Phoenix" and "Mystique" being solos they'll be team books with Jean and Mystique as leaders.

Quentin Quire... and right there the expectations are lowered by 30%.
I think Uncanny and adjectiveless have VERY solid creative teams. I have every confidence Simone and MacKay are gonna crush it and they will look so pretty doing it. I'm not terribly familiar with Eve Ewing's writing so I will reserve judgement until Exceptional X-Men hits, but I'm definitely glad we got Carmen Carnero's sublime art back with the mutants.
Didn’t get a chance to see the trailer, from what I can see here I’m not impressed with the casts and the costumes look very disappointing. The MacKay book has the best cast, but I really don’t care for Stegman’s art. I’ve heard good things about Eve Ewing and I like Carnero’s art so I’ll probably check that out. Right now Uncanny doesn’t interest me, maybe the premise will change my mind.

Yeah, this is definite Kwannon. Yay!
I'm sensing (or choosing to sense) that the exclusion of Jean and Ororo means (a) they're doing things too big to reveal at this point and (b) they may be on a team book together again. We'll see.
Jean Grey in the words of Walt Whitman, from his masterpiece Leaves of Grass, "Song of Myself" (51 and 52):
"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"
"Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you."
Who was that walking with the canes beside M at the end? I'm wondering if...
...perhaps "Prisoner X" is Selene... and the person walking with the canes was Betsy... (Maybe a spoil for the X-Men Unlimited going down right now.)
