Comics The "Age of X" Thread

[Havok83]

Its the next X-event. No details yet aside from this teaser and that it will play out next year

Finally, the panel announced a new event for the X-Men called "Age of X" which Singh described as "The end of mutants as we know them" before teasing a similar hook for the mystery story (and its mystery cast who were teased as silhouetted figures) to the well-known "Age of Apocalypse" story which temporarily rewrote the timeline of X-Men comics.

I see Wolvie, Gambit, Magneto, Cyke/Iceman, Beast

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I'm pretty sure that's Rogue in the front.

 

[Havok83]

I thin Emma is in the heels

 

[Brainiac 8]

I'm thinking the front and center character is Hope.

 

[Havok83]

Its Rogue from her Icons series and the one in the back with the hair is Storm by Michael Turner. This appears to be an amagalm of past images. Still havent figured out where the others are from

 

[Brainiac 8]

Ah, gottcha...I wonder what the deal with the story is.

 

[Nevaratoiel]

Here's my guesses (from top to bottom):
Top left: Magneto
Top right: Storm
Second top left: Wolverine
Second top right: Beast
Third left: Iceman
Third right: Emma Frost
Middle: NO idea!
Fourth right: Gambit (probably not, but it looks like him.
Front middle: Rogue

Let's see how many I got right.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I think that will end up being Cyclops, not Iceman.

And why does the guy in the middle look like Fantomex to me?

 

[kinetic]

It was said that the images may be purposefully misleading.

 

[kinetic]

Here's my guesses (from top to bottom):
Top left: Magneto
Top right: Storm
Second top left: Wolverine
Second top right: Beast
Third left: Iceman
Third right: Emma Frost
Middle: NO idea!
Fourth right: Gambit (probably not, but it looks like him.
Front middle: Rogue

Let's see how many I got right.

I think that is Gambit, he had his on series during the Age of Apocalypse, "Gambit and the X-ternals" i think.

[Jake Cassidy]

I think you nailed it Havok.

 

[Havok83]

I didnt compile it together but the person that did, did a good job at finding them. It would be rather lazy if this is really what Marvel did for a teaser image. I hope it ends up being altered versions based on these images. For example, Hope in Rogue's pose, Daken for Wolverine, Polaris for Storm, etc...

 

[BoredGuy]

^Doubt it.
Probably just thrown together for a teaser.
When they release a more final poster, it'll have new drawings.

Also, that wolvie drawing is amazing, what's it from???

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Hmm. Maybe this has something to do with X-Men: Destiny? It gives me that sort of vibe.

 

[the Hornet]

First post here! Whatever it is, I hope they handle it well and it really is a real shake up to the status quo. The way the current Batman Inc seems to promise to be. Maybe mutants get accepted finally and they intergrate with the other community.

 

[Mistopurr83]

It looks interesting to see Rogue standing in front of the team. That's unusual for her.

 

[Havok83]

Looks like 2 of my favorites will be playing a role in this

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Looks like 2 of my least favorites will be playing a part.

 

[BoredGuy]

wahh wahh..
you don't gotta like em, but coipel drawing alternate universe X-Men is pure awesome.
Love the floating hands on Hellion.
...and Gambit ..."solid snake" much?... Gambit Snake...Solid Remy..? lol

Hellion's reminds me of Rayman...lol

btw, thats not Coipel's art, its Mann. Still a great image

 

[BoredGuy]

^oh really??
hmmm... the solicit on CBR had it listed as:

Cover by Chris Bachalo
Alternate by Oliver Coipel

knowing this wasn't Bachalo, I assumed it was Coipel.
Very similar styles
