Back again for the final update with Logan's teams now complete. First question I have is this Beast The Dark Beast or our very own 616 Beast? I've always been a big Beast, whichever universe he's from so I'm happy to see him back in the X-fold. Is that Rachel Grey/Summers looking all hound-like backing up X-Men: Legacy? Pretty cool if it is. How long has X-Factor has such a large team? Not read it in a while but the ranks seem to have swelled quite considerably since I last turned those pages. Seems more like a Detective Army rather than Agency.

We may have fallen on hard times on The Sidekickcast with the whole #Sidekickcivilwar but there were moments, even in the throws of separation, of sheer genius. We pretty much guessed that one of the Age of Apocalypse characters were coming back to the 616 Marvel universe and we guessed Nightcrawler (with the possible inclusion of Jean?!). Don't believe me? Check it out here.

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.
