[Jonah Weiland]

A big event is coming in the X-Universe - are you ready? Join CBR in this new weekly feature where we take you behind the scenes in to the X-Office where you get to ask the questions. Plus, this week an exclusive first look at the first chapter of "Endangered Species."

[Pro]

I hope Endangered Species doesn't force me to pick up other titles just to understand what is going on during the crossover. For that matter i hope the crossover doesn't force me to pick up titles i wouldn't normally buy just to follow the story. Some of us have limited budgets.

Since the crossover will be crossing over with other books, you likely will have to.

OMG the New X-Men previews look awesome. I heart Skottie Young soooo much. X-23 looks excellent! And Dust and Mercury against Belasco!
Illyana making contact with the other kids!
Now I cannot wait for this to come out!

(Okay, enough excitement for now)

So they confirmed Magneto will show up in Uncanny soon. That should be interesting.
So is the New X-Men follow-up to Endangered Species.
I have confidence in this crossover being Carey the one planning most of it.

The first "Endangered Species" back-up looks really good. Glad they're recounting all that happened.

This is one of the things why i've grown to dislike crossovers. It used to be fun to collect comics, now it's mostly expensive.

It's not really that bad. It's just going to be contained to X-Men, Uncanny, New X-Men, and X-Factor.

Much better than the House of M, Civil War, or World War Hulk format. Where there's a main mini and tie-ins.

Eaton's pencils look really stunning... I'm getting a strong Hitch/Davis/Hairsine vibe, who's doing the inks here? Shame he's already been moved off Excalibur, he'd be a perfect match for Cornell.

Young's NXM and Larocca's UXM look equally good... man I can't wait for these issues!

[Beast]

Eaton's art is pretty good. But I do have to make a small comment about it.

Why does Beast keep getting drawn with a long ponytail. First Bachalo, now Eaton.

That's something that only Ultimate Beast has ever had and it's a touch annoying. ;)

Am I the only one who's oddly put off by all the time Warpath is spending with Hepzibah?

Corsair is barely cold in the ground and she's making time with some other dude!

Well, Warpath got C-blocked by Korvus. So now he's going for the one girl who's guarenteed free. ;)

YAH!
Its like a Joe Fridays, but talking about things I'm actually interested in!

Again with the Cable-Bishop-Forge, Axle. Tsk tsk.
Be obsessed with different characters PLZ.

Like Marrow.

We've planned a big event that will reorganize the X-Men Universe in early 2008 and streamline the titles. Come 2008, each X-Men title will clearly stake out its own turf.

Coolerzzz.

Various other comments:

O Loa is hugging Anole! :D

O Mercury, Warpath, and Hepzcat are looking great!

O Is Yost the one writing the current Quest for Magik arc? If it is, I'll be glad to see him on the ES back ups.

[Hi-Fi]

I know!! Great job, CBR!

Loa is hugging Anole! :D

Isn't she the best??? She's such a sweetie!!

Is Yost the one writing the current Quest for Magik arc? If it is, I'll be glad to see him on the ES back ups.

Yep, that Yost.

Comments: I'm pumped about ES. Mike Carey, Chris Yost and Chris Gage are writers I trust completely to deliver a good story.

Larroca's art looks horrid. I love Hepzibah, but she looks bad here. The storytelling is so poor and common.

Meanwhile, Young's art looks fantastic. Dust and X-23 look amazing! The energy is great.

I'm a happy X-Fan right now. Yes, I am.

[Fede]

New X-Men looks great! (Looks like Dust is getting more spotlight these days..) . And so does Larroca's art! It's amazing how this artist changes his style so often!

this is what i hate about events...they put you in a position in wondering whether you should get the crossovers too...
