[Guest_1001]

Anyone have a picture? I haven't picked up any books this week.

They showed this back at NYCC, 'cept the guy had an X on his glasses, there's also a companion piece that they showed with a girl....

[Sentinel K]

Cyclops and Rogue.

[DeadXMan]

vary noir :biggrin:

[Wild Card13]

Interesting. The "Nobody's On Our Side" tag makes me think this is perhaps an event focused on Cyclops asserting the X-Men's proper position in the pecking order of the Marvel Universe. Certainly, the mutant community has had precious few allies since M-Day.

[escapegoat]

Strange...the convention teasers had a little "X" on the glasses, but it's taken out here....

[tlunning]

The font is similar to the Civil War books. So whose side are they on?
Marvel, you tease!

[Maestro]

I've never seen Cyclops wear that kind of hat before.

[HeckBoy]

I've never seen Cyclops wear that kind of hat before.I figure, with the X-Men's new street wear over in Astonishing, while working with the SFPD, the clothing in the ad wouldn't be too far out.

[RonnieThunderbolts]

The second teaser image, the one with the girl, was shown at the Ultimate Panel at WW Chicago, so, who knows, maybe it is an Ultimate X-Men relaunch.

[RedRonin]

Kind of hoping it's a all villain type-event.

It was shown at all of the panels at WW Chicago. It's not for the Ultimate Universe.

[Guest_1001]

Cyclops, Wonder Man or Matt Murdock? They all wear those glasses.

[Iron Syndicate]

Neither of those three uses a gun, though...

[Splatt]

It's totally Agent X

Kind of hoping it's a all villain type-event.

Since it seems odd that Cyclops would be carrying a regular gun, like, ever, this makes much more sense than it being an X-Men thing.

Haven't Bendis and others said that there's something coming up (a storyarc, but possibly an event) that allies the Hood's gang and other big villains together?

[Iron Syndicate]

Hmmm... it could be the so-called Illumi-naughty...

[fitditz]

I personally think that it will be the X-Men/X-Teams vs. the rest of the Marvel Universe (or at least the Avengers/Tony Stark crew). Cyclops' turn over the past couple of years to a more vigilant status points to this possibility. This will put Wolvie right in the middle :tongue:

[Mr. Earl Brooks]

That could be a fun event. Maybe the X-Men find a way to restore the Mutant population, but why ohh why would the government want them to be able to do that? Regardless of personal feelings Iron Man is ordered to deal with situation... lalala. Does he resign? Does he follow orders?

For the record though I don't think it's Cyclops.

[CyberHubbs]

Cyclops did in Astonishing X-Men. He shot Cassandra Nova with a revolver after he lost his powers for a short time. Just sayin'...

[BugsySig]

The female sihouette looked a lot like Jean Grey (with the green eye and long hair)...but other than the "X"'s that were included at WW that prove it's X-related, it could be anyone.

I think someone mentioned that the female silhouette had Rogue's skunk stripe.

[Sentinel K]

I think it will be an 'elseworlds' type thing involving The X-Men in a detective/noir type story.

Probably a mini.

[rescura]

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/thumb/4/43/Agent_X_Vol_1_3.jpg/300px-Agent_X_Vol_1_3.jpg

Yep, pretty sure that it's him.

[littleredhat]

It is definitely x-men. I talk to the artist at WW and he seemed really exited about it.

Do you remember who?

We have a winner!

[coconutphone]

I like the idea of the Marvel U vs the mutant pop. "No One's On Our Side" is a very mutant statement.

[rescura]

Probably a mini.

If this is it they will be "stealing" PAD's concepts of X-Detectives twice in a short period of time :biggrin:

[coconutphone]

I know. I hate the idea of them being detectives of sorts in SF considering X-F's been doing that for over 2 years.

[BugsySig]

I think someone mentioned that the female silhouette had Rogue's skunk stripe.

I guess it could go either way...here's the link to it: http://comicbookresources.com/news/preview2.php?image=cons/wwchic2008/cupobendis/2009_02.jpg

[TF_loki]

Deathlok? Wasn't there some mention of him at NYCC?

[Iron Syndicate]

I really hope it's a villain thing, sure HoM and Civil War were great, but I want to see an event where the Heroes beat the snot out of the bad-guys...

[matthewaos]

I think someone told me that this is about the 200 marvel event that Fraction is gonna write. No more info though...

[Jadeskies]

Isnt Agent X like a 300 lb whale at the moment in the deadpool series? He makes the comic guy from simpsons look thin.

[streator]

i'm not sure what it is for, but it looks pretty cool.
