Apparently your lips disappear when you get old.

Lemire is my favorite writer right now. I wish i didn't have to wait 6 months for this to come on the Marvel U app to read this. Apocalypse has always been awesome since his X-Factor days; I'm dying to read this.

Is this just an Extraordinary Xmen storyline or is crossing over with Uncanny and All-New?

So what happens with Genesis ?
So far, the only thing I really like in this title is Ororo's new haircut which kinds of reminds me of her mohawk days.

@theexile285: Pretty sure it crosses over all 3.

Where did Old Logan's lips go?

I love this cover

Oh! Colossus now has a beard. I was so confused by who that was on the cover in the bottom right, wasn't until I saw the variant that it sort of made sense. He kinda looks like an Autobot now.

not a fan of the art

This is gonna be awesome you got Colossus training the X-kids Logan and Storm together Nightcrawler back in action I love this series

@tattacus: @theexile285: They're not crossing over. Each X-book will have a separate story line.

Oh nice, that sounds great.

@theheat:

He left his dentures out

They're time traveling again?

So after The Ultimates try all that hard to fix timeline...

The X-men just mess up time-line, again.

@sprior93: Oh ok cool. I didn't read into it when they released solicits a while back.

While i don't read any of these X tiles, i do love how this cover is reminiscent of Apocalypse's first appearance back from X-factor days.

The Ultimates technically haven't fixed "Time" yet....in fact they haven't done anything other than "fix" Galactus and succeeding in reaching beyond space.

Can't Wait!!!! Apocalypse Wars.

I'm Excited really can't wait to see what's going to happen. Storm looks cool as usual I like how she seems so pissed yet composed.(Due to what happened in Extraordinary X-men #7). But they HAD to mess it up with Old Logan and her holding hands.......*sigh*(Great now old geyser is trying to pull two women Jean and Storm)

Extraordinary X-men is doing pretty good.

:0)

Damn, they really went out of their way to make old man Logan look like an OLD man with the pruny lips

I can never unsee it now...

Every time I open an article that deals with any preview there's always the same group of people complaining about the art. Do you guys enjoy anybody's art? Just curious, otherwise really looking forward to this, but I'm just hoping the can nail the landing because I haven't read a good story involving apocalypse since Uncanny X-Force.

I know they are going with ''Kurt got captured and broken...'' but what about his own book's unresolved story about Amanda Sefton ? I mean she literally entered the 'otherside' just to save him while Kurt couldn't enter...soo she is now in the 'fridge' again ? O.o

I couldn't have been an X-men book without even more time-travel O.o

Also , damn Logan, even when he is old he still gets all the 'moments' with X-ladies. No matter how weird and creepy it looks O.o

I bet now Cable regrets bringing Apo back.

Maybe I'm confusing it with another alternate older Logan, but wasn't OML missing a claw from a battle with Hulk in the original series? Just curious since they all seem to be intact now.

"I guess" - Marvel Editorial

Why the pruny lips? Logan still has his teeth doesn't he?

@koays do u get extra x-men?

@hopesummersforthefuture: Every issue!....now whether or not I read every issue is different...

lol
