Variant Cover by TRAVIS CHAREST
‘EXOGENETIC,” PART 1 of 5
Abigail Brand, director of S.W.O.R.D., has been in some sticky situations, and she isn’t the type who asks for help to get out of them. But when you’re careening towards Earth in the cockpit of a damaged spaceship after being attacked on an exploding asteroid 7.5 million miles from Earth…it’s time to call the X-Men. They might not have much of a plan, or much of a chance, but that’s certainly never stopped them before. Superstar artist Phil Jimenez joins writer Warren Ellis for the second arc of the mind-bending ongoing series!

“QUEEN CAPTURES BISHOP”
As it turns out, space isn’t the place for Cable and Hope. Against all odds, Bishop has found them again, and taken their spacecraft hostage. All Bishop needs is to see the girl. Once he has visual confirmation, it’s simply a matter of triggering the nuclear bomb hidden in his arm, and his lifelong mission to save the X-Men (and Earth) is over. And there are only so many places to hide in a small transport vessel on the far reaches of our solar system. But there is someone else aboard the vessel, and she doesn’t care about Cable or Bishop’s war. She’s been drawn to the life force of one of the vessel’s inhabitant, and she and her army will stop at nothing until they have her…Enter: The Brood Queen!

Worlds and times collide in this double-sized conclusion to the year long storyline that has revitalized X-Factor. Will the Summers Rebellion triumph as is supposed to happen…or will it be derailed?

Will someone die? The answer to at least some of these questions is: Yes.

Oh, Good Lord. Why is it that Greg Land is yet again drawing for “Uncanny X-Men”? Why must we continue to suffer? I do find it interesting though. Notice that in none of the summaries even mention Emma. That makes me believe that she will be prominent in some of the classified issues.
Yet again Ruby is being snubbed from the covers of “X-Factor”. The summary even talks about the rebellion that she started.
I think several of the solicits are classified merely for the sake of having something to announce at the SDCC. For example, the new artist on Legacy. Probably only Uncanny (if even that) will be related to Emma.
I’m suspecting that Scott and Emma could already be in league with each other already. Remember at the end of the “Sisterhood” story? Beast confronted both Scott and Emma in their room. He told them that upon his return from the “Origin of the Species” arc they were going to sit down and have a talk about their ‘clandestine’ activities. Beast made it back and was arrested at the start of “Utopia”. I pose the question, what if they already had this talk? I’m starting to think that the “Confession” book will be partly post dated about this talk, and partly post “Utopia”. Sort of like the “Dark X-Men Beginning” books.
@FoxxFire Art –
That would make sense in a way, otherwise if Confession is the real end of Utopia instead of Exodus, why would Fraction not write it himself since he wrote everything else? You’d think he would want to finish what he started.
That said, I still think it’s set post-Utopia.
