Lowe stated there will be an antagonist that shows up in the first issue from "Wolverine & the X-Men."

I really, really hope it's not Kade Kilgore and the Hellfire Kids Club.

The last page of "Uncanny" will establish the reason for the book and "completely shifts the dynamic of the X-Men universe." The page only works if everyone's surprised at the reveal, according to Bendis.

Xavier's alive as a psychic entity, living in Summer's brain and we'll see him kissing Magneto at last.

I really, really hope it's not Kade Kilgore and the Hellfire Kids Club.

Bendis already confirmed them from a previous conference call.

Has someone asked Bendis why he writes Emma Frost like 'Sassy Female Character #7' and doesn't bother remotely trying to keep the character's voice?

This interview makes it sound like he's really entuned to X-History but that's absolutely not what we're reading...

So far, I like the new direction for the X-Men enough to stick with it for a year or so but that one really sticks in my craw and just feels like subbar writing.

Nice covers.

I don't see how Emma's redesign is the most controversial

I thought Emma's voice was fine, she was stressed at the time due to what was going on. You just have to accept that this is what she sounds like now. Bendis is on for the long run, so soon people's memories of older versions of Emma Frost will fade away and when you read your back issues you'll think she sounds "out of character"

This.

And really? There's never been an Dr. Doom level X-villain???

Calm down, it's a misquote.

“This book will have a Dr. Doom-level villain, that I think is a surprise, who hasn’t been a villain in an X-book before, but when you see the connection is say, ‘Oh my god, of course.’ You will see this villain showing up in the first few issues. I would like it to be a surprise. I think at the end of issue #3, this villain will appear.”

I don't think that's what they said.

Bendis is using a Doom level villain, who has not previously been related to the X-men.
