Search the review threads about X-Men: Deadly Genesis maybe?

Basically it's a 'Dark Secret from the X-Men's/Xavier's Past' comes back to bite them all on the ass. It seems to be related to the first mission of the 'All-New All-Different X-Men' cast, which was to rescue the original X-Men team from the living island, Krakoa. There's a number of theories, what this could be tied to. All we know is that Moira left herself a message that Banshee found, to remeber that Xavier is a "bastard".

And that the villain of the piece (presumbed to be the 3rd Summers Brother) knows who Scott is and is familar with Marvel Girl, but not the Rachel Grey version. He had no clue who Wolverine is, and believes he killed him. That sets him to possibly being someone who died on Krakoa. Note that oddly enough all of Krakoa's powers seem to be consistant with characters that are being introduced via back-up stories so far.

And to answer your last query, according to the Solicit for Deadly Genesis #6, the 3rd Summers Brother will be part of what is moved over to Uncanny as the primary villain they'll be dealing with. :)

How are they going to deal with the third summers bro and not have cyclops involved? hopefully, he will be.. but isn't astonishing's cast supposed to be untouchable? Well I'm sure they'll let Brubaker do some ish.

Unless he's finished messing with Cyclops' life for now, and is now targeting Havok? :)

The Astonishing X-Men cast are only appearing in other core titles, House of M, and Deadly Genesis right now due to the hiatus for the Astonishing X-Men book. It will be back next month, which means we'll be seeing less of everyone, except likely Scott and Emma. :)

He's writing Captain America right now. He'll be jumping onto Daredevil very soon. He's also currently writing the mini Books of Doom which will wrap up in a few months. As for DG, so far the mini-series has been pretty good. Issue #3 comes out Wednesday. Hit his website for his distingused career. :)

Captain America and Books of Doom for Marvel so far. Next month he starts Daredevil.

For DC, he's written Gotham Central, The Authority, Sleeper, and Detective Comics.

[the Hornet]

Captain America ? Wow, that can be a touch book to write.

Thanks for the answers. Going back to the Summers thing, I would find weird if any major development to the Summers family did not involve Scott. Nothing against Alex, who I really hope sticks to a X-Book, but Scott is the one more connected to the family tree IMO. Hey, look at how far he has continued the line, from son to a daughther from another time line to an alternate universe clone. :)
