Better Late Than Never: X-Men Regenesis: X-Men Legacy Teaser

by Gavin Jones Email

Does my face look fat in this?

Only now getting a chance to look at this latest X-Men Regensis teaser and a few points occur to me. Firstly, I have no idea who is in this team or how that may change because of Schism. For some reason just couldn't be bothered with Legacy, it seemed so detached from the rest of the X-Universe I figured that I could get away without reading it, apart from the Age of X stuff and the less said about that, the better.

Next up, and this is more interesting, to me anyway, the above image came with this copy:

"Acclaimed writer Mike Carey presents the final arc of his six year X-Men epic this November, alongside superstar artist Khoi Pham.
Who’s with Rogue and what does Carey’s last arc mean for the X-Men? Join the conversation on Twitter with #XMenRegenesis!"

Does that suggest to you that Mike Carey will soon be leaving the book, because that's what it says to me. Did everyone else know about this? Why am I always last to know? Seeing as Legacy is Carey's title, will it continue much beyond the Regenesis? Seems like the perfect time to bump it off to me, we all know there are far too many X-titles out there anyway.

Follow up:

And the final point, has to be attributed to Bleeding Cool, I did notice that all these X-Men Regensis covers tied in together but not quite in the way Rich Johnston has suggested, credit where credit is due. Looks like we may be getting X-Men Blue and Gold teams again. Age of Apocalypse, Archangel, Cable, Blue/Gold teams, hip teen mutant teams; it really is the 90's all over.

One of those shadows seems to have a trench coat and a staff. Guess Gambit's on the team.
