“MUTANTS VERSUS VAMPIRES,” PART 1
When a suicide bomber strikes in downtown San Francisco, it gets the immediate attention of the X-Men. But this is not your garden variety terrorist – and he’s not acting alone. Vampires from around the globe are descending en masse on the City by the Bay, staking a brutal claim for the patch of land the X-Men call their home. What is their agenda? Who is their mysterious leader? The X-Men are about to find out, as they brace themselves for a war of the species that will wrack the Marvel Universe.

I was hoping this was a joke. Vampires?

[ImWithTeamConan]

So Adjectiveless X-Men is back...

...but why relaunch it without an A-list team? I can't see this title doing well.

[Colossal Spoons]

This team looks full of popular X-characters to me

[deathshead2]

Mags is a member of the X-men now, and he isn't the leader?!?!?!?!

Looks like I need to catch up.

[Colossal Spoons]

He and Charles have taken a backseat to Scott and Emma

First I'd like to know why he isn't trying to kill them? Unless this Dracula deal is really big and they need his help, by using him to impale the vamps with metal stakes

[Colossal Spoons]

He lost his powers, spent some time with the High Evolutionary making artificial ones, and came back all "I come in peace". He still hasn't gained their trust yet, but he did just bring Kitty home

How'd he bring her back without his powers?

[Colossal Spoons]

He got artificial powers, like Apoc gave Polaris

[JustABill]

Damn beaten by Spoons.

Still this book seems to be on the fast track to no-where.

Must have been great powers to stop that Space Bullet. I'm sure that'll come back to bite him.

Well he's currently unconscious in the infirmary, but as the cover above clearly spoils, he'll be fine. Marvel is not so secretive about July

[JustABill]

Yeah, like it's pretty much a given that Cable and Nightcrawler are goners now. Seeing as everyone's popping up on covers except them.

No joke. Varient covers here:

[ImWithTeamConan]

Sorry, I meant A-list creative team. Uncanny has Fraction/Portacio, Astonishing's going to be the "sorta out of continuity almost like a little movie" book. Adjectiveless has...Gischler and Medina?

It's like we traded Cable for X-Man

Ah. I'm a huge Medina fan but Idk squat about that writer.

[JustABill]

He's writing Deadpool books at the moment. Merc with a Mouth and Corps.

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, no wonder I don't know anything about him then

[Jake Cassidy]

The vampire thing is only the opening story arc with a huge team of X-Men. Afer that it'll be whittled down to a unit of 4 or 5 characters, like New Mutants and X-Force. I don't know about anyone else, but that sounds like a good thing. Hopefully this could be the place for the rarely used characters: Gambit, Iceman, Northstar, Dazzler, etc.

Iceman has'nt shown up on any previews as well and he was also on the death poster...

I REALLY hope DP doesnt make an appearance

Damn it! When the heck is Marvel going to give Brian K Vaughan an X series?

Could they make Colossus look anymore feminine in that pose and with those tights? Also why do they keep altering the color scheme on this costume? It looks so much better without the blue on the legs

[ImWithTeamConan]

I don't think BKV wants to write X-Men, unfortunately, I think he's kind of "out" of Mainstream comics.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

i guess Legacy will never revert back to adjectiveless if there is another adjectiveless around.
