Not much, but UXM is a guarantee for me. Xmen 92 maybe but only cause of the art.

[AJpyro]

Dangit, the ANW is too much of a spoiler.

[jwatson]

I swear this is the most excited i've been to be an X-fan in such a long time. If only we could keep the uncanny cover artist for this issue and get someone else on Extraodinary.

[Ambaryerno]

Dangit, the ANW is too much of a spoiler.

I know! On the one hand, YAY! On the other hand, god damn it!

[Anduinel]

Trapped in the distant future, Colossus and his team of Young X-Men race across a dying Earth to protect the key to mutantkind's survival!

This is interesting. If there are no more mutants being born in the main timeline, then these Young X-Men are probably students from the school. I have about as much interest in Colossus as I do in week-old porridge, but I'm usually up for more stories with pre-WXM kids. Of course, with my luck, it'll be Glob Herman and the Bendis kids that get the spotlight.

[Johnrevenge]

It seems that there will be some focus in the New X-men kids (at least in what i read of the Extraordinary X-men solicitation). That would be cool (at least lemire is showing some love to them with cameos and few scenes ^^)

[Anduinel]

I know! On the one hand, YAY! On the other hand, god damn it!

I guess every Wolverine has to have a girl sidekick, yeah?

[xhx23x]

ooh, so it's going to be Colossus focus for Extraordinary's AW arc. All of these look pretty good.

[FlawedCoil82]

Not much, but UXM is a guarantee for me. Xmen 92 maybe but only cause of the art.

The cover art? Man, I dont know that art didnt "wow" me quite as much as I hoped. Psylocke, Bishop and Jubilee look terrible, but Rogue and Wolverine look decent. Regardless, still the only X-book I am looking forward to.

[Ambaryerno]

I guess every Wolverine has to have a girl sidekick, yeah?

I AM glad Gabby is sticking around. So far she's been one of the best parts of the book, and it will be great to see how Laura handles being a big sister. And as you said it's certainly fitting: Wolverine needs to have a younger sidekick (though it would have been fitting to gender-invert the relationship).

[MarvelMaster616]

As excited as I am for Apocalypse Wars, X-men 92 will continue to be at the top of my pull list. When (or even if) Marvel gets around to filling in the plot holes left by Cyclops' death and the Inhumans/mutant war, I'll reconsider those priorities. But as it stands, X-men 92 offers the most complete form of X-men on the market. And that's kind of sad when you think about it.
