We posted our casting of Phonogram this morning, so how appropriate it is that later in the day we get our first (albeit brief) look at Gillen’s new book: Generation Lost!
Spinning out of Second Comng and Uncanny X-Force, Generation Hope will be dealing with the five new mutants discovered in the post Second Coming world, supposedly “ignited” by Hope’s epic power up at the end of the event. The book will be written by Kieron Gillen (did we mention Phonogram enough today yet?) and Salva Espin (She-Hulk), and is a brand new ongoing set in the X-Universe. The solicit reads:
GENERATION HOPE #1
Written by Kieron Gillen
Art by SALVA ESPIN
Cover by OLIVIER COIPEL
Variant Cover by GREG LAND
Variant Cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC
Spinning directly out of UNCANNY X-MEN comes the most important new X-Book in years–GENERATION HOPE! When Hope Summers returned from the future she triggered the rebirth of the mutant gene. Five lights appeared on Cerebra and five mutants’ powers came to life, but their activations have been chaotic and dangerous, nearly killing each of them. It was only the touch of Hope that saved their lives. With Rogue and the four new mutants who were gathered in UNCANNY X-MEN, Hope heads to Japan to join Cyclops, Wolverine and the fifth light. But will this new light be a hero or a villain?
 Only KIERON GILLEN (THOR) and SALVA ESPIN (SAVAGE SHE-HULK) know!
40 PGS./ /8 page saga/Rated T+ …$3.99
Sounds great so far. And don’t you just love that Olivier Coipel cover? Fantastic. Keep your eyes and ears open for this book come November, because I can assure you we will be talking about.
