I was convinced when first saw this cover that it was done by Alex Ross, but apparently it was actually done by Felipe Massafera. I am impressed.

I’m also super excited to see this new roster of X-men continuing to get a spotlight. The whole election process, and public-heroic role of this new team, on behalf of Krakoa, is a fantastic direction for the X-men as a whole. I cannot wait to see how this roster shifts and changes over the years.

Catching up on tumblr posts again and I wanted to start with the fantastic new line-up of X-men that is set to be announced during the upcoming X-men: Hellfire Gala!

Marvel had fans vote for one member, and it was revealed that Polaris was the winner. I personally voted for her, and I am so excited because I feel like Polaris was one of those characters that has gotten a really great arc yet. I kind of feel like she is always kind of side-lined or given inconsistent arcs that focus more on the drama than her character. I am ready for her to real spotlight, and I hope this is it.

In addition to Polaris, I am excited to see Synch all get full members, the return of Sunfire, and X-23 taking up the official mantle of Wolverine in an actual X-men team. I am super excited for this roster and I can’t wait to see what kind of epic adventures they embark on.
