Frank's cover is for Extermination.

Well, the X-Men have been on a nostalgia kick recently, and coupled with the 'continuity is stupid' mentality of many recent writers I can understand.

I was joking, but you're right the attitude is "let's do something nostalgic, but ignore continuity" is real

lol, the irony.

How old is Emma Frost again?

I'm sure Jean, Bobby, Hank, Scott, Warren are MUCH older if you go by the "current events" in the older run of Xmen. Wasn't Xavier a Korean War vet?

Blue and Gold aren’t ending! People said the same about it when it hit #30.

No one knows for sure if they are or are not. Signs point to yes though.

So, Emma was what, barely 20 calling Logan a 'young person' and running her own prestigious boarding school?

I get the feeling Blue might end/get reshuffled, but Gold may not. My reasoning is the second annual; Gold gets one, whilst Blue has not. This would also allow Red to stick around with the colour pattern- only Red and Gold, over Blue and Gold (though I feel like, if they rejig, they'll scrap the colours altogether OR revive Blue, just with new cast/team/issue numbering or whatever).

I think it's a safe assumption that a rejig is coming- plot points are wrapping up (Blue's Things To Come page particularly shows this, with two issues being assigned to each of the four plot points on that page), Fresh Start is causing non-X-Fans to desire an X-Men relaunch and Extermination (assuming a biweekly 5-issue series) is timed up precisely with Blue's finale (assuming #26 is the finale), it's just the form that rejigging takes to wonder about.

Gold's annual has nothing to do with Gold itself though and, according to the author, mostly just exists to see if she can sell books.

Gold seems to be wrapping all its plot points up now. The wedding in #30, Rachel in #31-32, Storm in #33-34. Only Nightcrawler's immortal status and Alpha are loose plots right now.

That said, I also think X-Classified will be Guggs' next shitshow.

Hmm, good point. I don't want it to be the case, but it would make sense- considering he was talking about his next 30 issue pitch or something a while back.

I´d say Emma is in her late 30´s early 40´s.. the 27 yo thing was just laughable

Announced where? Can you please link to the announcement?

It honestly doesn't make any sense that "20 years in the future" the same teams would still exist and it makes even less sense to have an ongoing set in the future.
