In a panel at the October 2011New York Comic Con, writer Kieron Gillen revealed that Cyclops' team becomes a peacekeeping force, whileDan Abnett andAndy Lanning'sNew Mutants continues to focus on Dani Moonstar's mission by Cyclops of integrating the mutants that were left over by the X-Men. InGeneration Hope, written byJames Asmus,Sebastian Shaw's storyline spins out of his prior appearance inUncanny X-Men, and that the first mission for Hope's team is to hunt down a new mutant signature. "The book is going to spiral wildly from there, including all the hormones and kissing that a teenage book should have," said Asmus. InX-Men, writer Victor Gischler explores Jubilee's role on the team. WriterGreg Pak, however, demurred on his plans forAstonishing X-Men, or the details behind the teaser poster ofStorm passionately kissingCyclops, though an additional teaser poster was displayed featuring a character with golden claws. In writerJason Aaron's flagship book,Wolverine and the X-Men,Wolverine takes on the headmaster role at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, though the familiar classroom andDanger Room motifs features the feral mutant's "twists". The companion five-issue miniseries,Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega by writer/illustratorBrian Wood, begins with a large battle between Wolverine andQuentin Quire spinning off of "Schism".

Marvel Director Of Communications, Publishing & Digital Media Arune Singh, regarding writerRick Remender's book,Uncanny X-Force, referred to the teaser poster, which featuresPsylocke,Fantomex, Wolverine,Deadpool andNightcrawler, commenting, "It's important to pay attention to the art and see who's there and who's not there."[1]
Also announced was a new series,Age of Apocalypse byDavid Lapham and Roborto De La Torre, spinning directly out of Remender's "Dark Angel Saga" storyline. The ongoingWolverine series, which is written by Jason Aaron and illustrated byAndy Kubert, features, according to writer Jason Aaron, "the biggest Wolverine solo story [that he has] ever done", to which everything Aaron has done in Wolverine has been building.Jeph Loeb andSimone Bianchi's 2012 run on the title re-introducesSabretooth.[1]
