First Look: UNCANNY X-MEN #2

Get a peek at Emma's new costume, Sentinels, and Cyclops' new team in the unlettered preview of this upcoming issue.

Yesterday we got a look at the supposed traitor that will be appearing in Marvel NOW!'s UNCANNY X-MEN series, and today we get a little bit more insight. Below is Marvel's first peek at the upcoming second issue of this new series written by Brian Michael Bendis and featuring the art of Chris Bachalo. The latest unlettered preview comes fully stocked with Sentinels, treacherous terrains and a brand new look for Emma Frost. That still doesn't explain one small thing: who is the traitor amongst them? UNCANNY X-MEN #1 hits stores on February 13th, 2013 and the series' second issue will hit the following week on February 27th. What do you think of the preview? Are you looking forward to this series? What do you think this means for Emma Frost?

What happened to Mags distincitve white mane? O.o

And who are the other 2 kids?

Anyway, I think the traitor will be Emma because they didn't tell use ANYTHING about her during the consequences story, we only saw her being on a different prison talking to Kitty Pryde and sayig how much she hated Scott.

It's very probably that they knew Scott would try a rescue and put it in motion so seh could infiltrate his team.

BUT, I hate it, I want them together, I wanted them married once everything had ended so they could take a break, but the editors first the need to first put Schism and then AvX so Scott can't take a break U.U

My idea if she's the traitor so we can forget this mess: When she unveils herself, she's defeated, but Scott still offers her his hand and support so she sees why she loved him. Please?? :(

This title looks so Anarchy and post apocolytic.

I don't like the Costume changes but the art is ok, i see they are going for that sort of dark tone since most of these xmen were fewed as bad this looks to be more of a rebellious title....im not sure how i feel about that especially Bendis writing a title like that.

Im having second thoughts on getting this book.

I'm not sure if this means anything, but I located the cover for issue 5, which seems to show Emma Frost still being on the team, as well as Magneto, Magik & Cyclops

I realise this is dependent on whether or not the Mole/Traitor has been fully exposed and that it's not her or any of the others.

I wager that the traitor will be Emma. For only the simple reason of splitting him up with Cyclops now the old timeline (stupid story) Jean Grey is around. This is but my humble guess.

I think it will be Magik, even though that seems too obvious.

My vote is Magneto. He seems to be getting really close with Scott and it would be a huge blow.

Sorry to be a complete noob but what does the "Uncanny" actually mean. I've never actually bothered to find out but I quite like the look of this.

if you have thesaurus it mean mysterious and weird . which kinda makes with some certain mutants and part of what some normal humans don't seem to like about them. they hate them cause they don't under stand them.

I had no plans on reading this series, not because it doesn't look good, but because I'm already over budget and am already reading one Bendis X-Men book, but I've been loving the old Scott parts of All-New X-Men and this art is beautiful. It's going to be really hard not to pick this up.

I've grown accustomed to Cyclops' new look. Now I think it actually looks a little flattering, if that's the right word to describe it.

However, I will forever hate Magneto's new costume.

The cover looks like it could be to some freaky kink magazine. Black leather, revealing bust line, buckles everywhere, nine-inch stilettos... all she's missing is a riding crop and a ball gag.

I really like Chris Bachalo's art. I'll definitely be giving this book a try, either in single issues or when it gets collected into a trade.

As for Emma's costume, a switch to black seems like a major move for someone who went by the title White Queen for most of her career. I hope Bendis gives us an in-story explanation behind the switch.

She wore black when she was part of the Dark X-men.

Still why is she stealling from Lady Mastermind's wardrobe?

She seems to be jacking off Lady Mastermind and Rachel Grey with coat look.

I need this now.

The art is amazing, and from what I can tell (which is just a wild guess since they don't reveal much), Emma is dealing with the stress of losing her Telepathy, or maybe her feelings for Scott. Taking in consideration Emma has been through so much just recently, it's not surprising to see her losing it for a chance.

And the second page, awesome, they shapeshifter is still with them, and it looks like they good another recruit (the guy holding his head like crazy beside Scott).

I really need this now.

So Mags shaved his head huh?

you can tell by the close up panel he originally was drawn with hair because the way they color his eye brow region is such a cover up lol But maybe it's a side effect of the power change.

Yeah, maybe. He's missing eyebrows too but he still has stubble.

Look again.

The staff belongs to Chris, the biomanipulator from ANX #1, and I'm pretty sure they're watching a news broadcast on TV.

That is almost definitely Magneto. He's even wearing his costume.

I think she seems like the most suitable choice tbh since I believe it is Emma that would be too obvious. Her being pissed and on the cover of 2 and all that. Plus her being a survivor with Wolverine and Storm in the Ultron event coming up. So it's like all this stuff points towards her but I just feel it is indeed too obvious and Magik seems like the suitable choice. Did they ever say a mole for what exactly?

That coat kills the sex appeal of Emma's outfit, so I'm left wondering, "what's the point?" And why on earth would she wear all black? The breakup with Scott has made her emo? Surely that transition would have happened when her first set of students were murdered... or the second... or the third... or the fourth... not because of a boy. Get your life Marvel.

I have to say I enjoy Emma's new look. I'm aware that's it's outside of her iconic appearance but I think after so much loss, Emma likely feels very much unlike herself. Despite the immense tragedy that's dogged her ( losing her students) Emma has always retained her telepathy and sense of self, never before has she been betrayed with such magnitude and also been without her main weapon, telepathy; which she's relied on heavily. I'm happy to see Marvel take that into account. I pray they don't ruin her. Her new look is less refined than she normally is and that says alot about how she is feeling. Not the White Queen simply Emma Frost. And as for the traitor, who knows. It's hard to discern when we don't know what the betrayal entails.

Chris Bachalo does tend to exaggerate face shapes. It's just a part of his drawing style and it often just makes the characters look younger (or fat faced) - http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/chris%20bachalo?before=17.

Looks like Magik is getting in touch with her inner Thor or Storm. Scott and Emma don't look too thrilled about it either, Yana has that crazy look going on again. On another note Magik looks like she's half demon/half asian with the art.

Each preview it appears for UXM #2 makes me want the book more and more. I need this book NOW. ):

I don't always like Bachalo's art, but I've to admit that everything I've seen of him for UXM so far is just amazing.
