COMICS: First Lettered Preview Of ALL-NEW X-MEN #1 Reveals Why The Past Meets The Present

"I need you to stop yourself from committing mutant genocide." We've seen various pieces of artwork from Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen's All-New X-Men #1, but this preview of the issue reveals why Beast travels back in time to bring the original X-Men to the present!

By Josh Wilding - 10/11/2012

It’s a blast from the past as the original five students of Professor X – Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Angel and Beast – are plucked from the past and brought to the present. But what they find, the state that their future selves are in and the state of Xavier’s dream, is far from the future they dreamed of. And how will the X-Men of the present deal with their past coming crashing forward?

ALL-NEW X-MEN #1
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS
Pencils & Cover by STUART IMMONEN

	BattlinMurdock - 10/11/2012, 2:36 PM Login to report abuse Fantastic art work. Would certainly like to see Cyclops get back to his badass, basic roots.
	superotherside - 10/11/2012, 2:38 PM Login to report abuse Hmmm... meh. I hate you Marvel for making Cyclops the bad guy. Oh well perhaps his younger self can make atonement for his future self's sins. Sigh... this is boring me already.
	superotherside - 10/11/2012, 2:38 PM Login to report abuse Hope his younger self is cool at any rate.
	Khan - 10/11/2012, 2:41 PM Login to report abuse Cyclops was the best X-Men out there, such a shame no one knows how to write him.

	ATrueHero1987 - 10/11/2012, 3:18 PM Login to report abuse @SteveRogersSon Was Uncanny Avengers that bad?? @MrEko lol, right!
	mctrinket - 10/11/2012, 3:47 PM Login to report abuse "Scott you are such a mega douchbag that only another douchebag of your level can stand against your douchbaggery--and that douchebag is you, Scott. You are the only douchebag big enough to match up against the douchebag that is yourself!"
	marvel72 - 10/11/2012, 3:54 PM Login to report abuse chris claremont knew how to write cyclops.
	vonstallin - 10/11/2012, 4:21 PM Login to report abuse this looks promising....should pick it up.
	Turtlestrong - 10/11/2012, 4:43 PM Login to report abuse soooo......isn't AvX over and Cyclops is in jail or something? Or is he still going to be some sort of 'evil' threat to mutants? Or is it something he is going to do later that leads to the persecution or mutants? I'm confused
	Temple - 10/11/2012, 4:50 PM Login to report abuse Gotta give it up for Bendis, He really stepped up his game. His ultimate spiderman run is amazing. All new x men is gunna be interesting. Alot things brewing to come.
	OtakuPapi - 10/11/2012, 5:16 PM Login to report abuse I never liked Cyke until AvX I respect him a whole hell of alot more now but im peeved he got made out to be the bad guy
	marvel72 - 10/11/2012, 5:40 PM Login to report abuse @ cipher chris claremont uncanny x-men run 1975-1991 i can't name any writer that had a 17 year run on one title. legendary to say the least.
	SecretAvenger001 - 10/11/2012, 6:47 PM Login to report abuse Current Beast looks cool, this book looks like it may end up being my new favorite.
	JustDame - 10/11/2012, 7:00 PM Login to report abuse Bendis and Immonen. Phucking awesome.
	BobbyDrake85 - 10/11/2012, 8:32 PM Login to report abuse i'm def looking forward to this series but "mutant genocide" ummm i think wanda did that and i believe scott kept this species alive unitl now not wolverine or cap but its whatever lol
	BlakeUsmcVet - 10/11/2012, 8:37 PM Login to report abuse I miss the old Beast look before he turned into Cat Face.
	Lightsplasher - 10/11/2012, 10:52 PM Login to report abuse Love Immonnen's art ! It's just beautiful ! The story looks good !
	luckylu - 10/11/2012, 11:11 PM Login to report abuse mutant genocide? jeez marvel...
	loki668 - 10/12/2012, 12:26 AM Login to report abuse Cyclops: "Soooo.....you're saying that, in the future, I'm a bit of a douche?" Beast: "Yes. In the same way that I am saying that water is 'slightly damp'." Cyclops: "Am I finally an intriguing character to read and have in a series?" Beast: "Again, yes. But you are also a big enough douche to make Magneto tell on you." Cyclops: "Sweet. I'm relevant." Beast: "And an uber-douche". Cyclops: "I can live with that". Lord Loki has spoken
	JamesAsAlways - 10/12/2012, 1:17 AM Login to report abuse Looking forward to this one, and anything has gotta be better then Uncanny Avengers... Sad to know that Uncanny Avengers definitely wont be fulfilling my X-Men craving... or any kinda craving for that matter.
	CorndogBurglar - 10/12/2012, 3:28 AM Login to report abuse Guys, Cyke hasn't committed Mutant Genocide, so its obviously something that Beast thinks WILL happen, thag we haven't seen. Is it that hard to understand?
	CorndogBurglar - 10/12/2012, 3:31 AM Login to report abuse And you guys are forgetting how kickass Cyke was in Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run....
	comicstocode - 10/12/2012, 5:13 AM Login to report abuse So Beast is the new Bishop..?
	hellfire - 10/12/2012, 6:09 AM Login to report abuse Cyclops is BAD!!! damn i need a better job so I can start buying comics again!
	xstryker - 10/12/2012, 6:20 AM Login to report abuse Cyclops commit mutant genocide? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Bendis sucks, his plots are moronic, his characters are way off, and his dialogue is complete dribble.
	clonekiller72 - 10/12/2012, 8:04 AM Login to report abuse Does anyone here know that Cyclops' decent started 6 years ago right? Marvel didn't pull this out of the blue! Scott's character had been shifting away from "the Dream" for half a decade now. 5 years ago I posted on the marvel board that Scott would be the next Magneto, and I got laughed off the boards, but here we are. He decline has been logical, justified, and quite honestly the most interesting Cyclops I've ever seen. Can we please just remember how boring and one-noted Scott was prior to this? Everyone hated him cause he was a one-trick pony. BUT NOW, everyone wants that one-trick pony back?!?! I'm not sold on the Marvel Now, but you know what? I'm gonna READ THEM AND MAKE MY OWN DECISION! I tell you, if as many people read the books as came on here trolling them, the comic industry would be sky-rocketing!
	DatScarletPimPerNeLL - 10/12/2012, 8:26 AM Login to report abuse Sooooo....you mean to tell me that all those many moons ago when we were introduced to Cable, Bishop & virtually any hero/villain mutant or otherwise, who would travel back in time or were able to "see" any potential future of man/mutant kind; NO ONE saw THIS coming...? I. Call. SHENANIGANS. the hammer has been laid.
	toco89 - 10/12/2012, 8:32 AM Login to report abuse I don't know why everyone is so surprised. Bendis is one of the loosest writers that Marvel has. Does no one remember the Dark Avengers? Sentry was a cool, mysterious, scary powerful character. Then Bendis made him literally omnipotent , have him admit he can't die, and then have Thor kill him with a lightning bolt...wtf. Then proceeded to take the bones that were left and chuck them into the sun. Yes, he took the bones of the man with the power of a million exploding suns (or something like that) into the sun, even after he tried to destroy HIMSELF doing the same. They went behind that and explained in a slick way that he was exhausted and THAT is how he was killed. If he doesn't eat, sleep or even breath, but yet is still alive, [frick]sake if he can reassemble himself at molecular level after being displaced by the MOLECULE man, TWICE, they are expecting me to believe that a jolt of electricty killed him cuz he was tired? Man, Bendis... The Sentry was overpowered yes, but he had potential for a great explanation to his powers, Bendis just said '[frick] it, I don't like him, Ill just say he's omnipotent and then take him out of the continuity, that way everybody will hate him cuz he can't be beat and wont miss him'.
	toco89 - 10/12/2012, 8:37 AM Login to report abuse @clonekiller People have been complaining about the writing of Cyclops for years. Yeah we wanted more personality to him, but sure as [frick] not like this. Quality over quantity, if you're gonna do something, do it right, o not at all.
	hellfire - 10/12/2012, 8:48 AM Login to report abuse I stopped not long after when Cyclops was saved after he was merged with Apocalypse. I suppose you could say that was the beginning of Scott fall into darkness.
	CorndogBurglar - 10/12/2012, 9:06 AM Login to report abuse @ Clonekiller Amen brother! Couldn't have said it any better myself. @ Hellfire You're exactly right. Being merged with Apocalypse is what really caused it. You could really see that in Morrison's New X-Men run, and it just took off from there.
	MutantEquality - 10/12/2012, 11:00 AM Login to report abuse Ego's. It feels like the people that used to be great Heroes such as Tony Stark, Stever Rogers, Logan and now Beast are so concerned about one man that they forget what the broad picture is. The Xmen have stood for Mutant Equality, peace between the species and the survival and acceptance of who they are. Scott tried for that in epic fashion and now it's all about "Scotts a douche." I don't want a reboot, to go back to the Clairmont days exactly or go into the past. I want the Xmen and Mutants to prosper and fight ALONGSIDE the Avengers because how amazing they are or even publicly be love MORE than the Avengers. D*mn real world politics and capitalism affecting an entire universe.
	JAH - 10/13/2012, 11:38 AM Login to report abuse I like Scott being a bad guy, but MrEko is right and this is a LAAAAAAAAme idea.
	malschla - 10/15/2012, 6:04 AM Login to report abuse If Beast can time travel, why doesn't he just go back a few months to let Cyke/Cap know what happens, and that Hope IS the savior that Scott thinks she is? Problem solved!
