In honor of their recently published solicits, Marvel has put out a new press release in honor of their unsilhoutted cover of Wolverine and the X-Men to compliment yesterday’s Uncanny X-Men reveal. While we do know some of Wolverine’s team (starring Beast, Kitty Pryde and Lockheed, Kid Omega, Iceman and Oya), the cover also reveals what appear to be multiple Nightcrawlers and a few unknowns to boot.
While we don’t exactly know how Wolverine will be leaving the X-Men and how he will be choosing his new friends, last week’s release of Schism #4 did finally show the actual schism between Cyclops and Wolverine, with a promise of a rather epic throwdown in the final issue. Between that and the Regenesis one-shot, I would assume all answers will be revealed.
For the full press release as well as the cover to the second issue, please check behind the cut.
