THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting this one.

[creaky]

This makes me so happy.

[RoguishGurl]

Now that is an awesome cover.

[timbox]

Now that is a #500 cover.

Nice. Wonder if there will be any others?

[Pach!]

Nice. Wonder if there will be any others?

X-men got 3 for the 200 issue..so probably 3 or 4.

EDIT: LMAO ..Kitty made the cover? jk pryde and jester

Very nice, very nice. Can't wait for Uncanny #500.

[Hi-Fi]

LOL. Early Rogue!! <3 <3 <3

"Dazzler's poor costume". Oh, he didn't! I'm super happy she made the cover, though.

[Pach!]

Jean made it on the cover twice, right?

And who is beside Rogue,Forge?

[Swashbuckler]

I'm just waiting for Novaya to go,

"EEEEEEE!!!!! Diva Sparkle Alex Ross, that is NOT The Dazzler's first appearance costume!"


I do love the cover though. It pretty much includes anyone who was important to the X-Men and makes a nice throw back to the first issue. I'm really looking foward to Uncanny in the coming months and I'm curious who the two "M" characters are. One is obviously Magneto.

As to what baddies will feature in the issue itself -- written by Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction and illustrated by Greg Land and Terry Dodson -- Marvel editor Nick Lowe shared, “Two major X-figures whose names start with M appear here. As well as one of the characters shown at the end of the first chapter of ‘Endangered Species.’ Sadly, it's not Sugar Man. Though it should be!”

So we lost the Mammomax lover to DC, but we gained the Sugar Man lover?

And two of the X-Men's baddies who start with M. Magneto and Morrison.
The Joel Schumacher of the X-Men Universe.

Though I wonder who from the folks at the end of the first Endangered Species will be involved. Mojo might work, but then that's another M. But would fit with Dazzler showing up in Uncanny #501.

Gold, Jerry - gold!
Alex Ross is one of those guys - like George Perez (I'm sure there are a bunch of others! - that can draw a cover, and it stands on it's own on top of the story inside.

That's a cover! I tell you what!

Jean made it on the cover twice, right?

And who is beside Rogue,Forge?

I'd say it's Forge.

I find it weird that Ross said he wanted them in their first appearance outfits but then we got "Love You Long Time" Psylocke instead "Spot of Tea Govner?" Psylocke.

At least she made the cover. The first X-Man is noticeably absent.
