A New Generation of Hope Coming to Uncanny X-Men

What could this mean for the mutants?


No Caption Provided
Second Coming is almost over. I have to admit, for all the build up, it doesn't seem like a lot really happened, except for the death of a certain fuzzy mutant. 
 
Today Marvel has announced that there will be "A New Generation of Hope." What the heck does that mean? The only information we have is that we will see a "stunning emergence of a new generation of heroes" this July.
 
Because "HOPE" is used, we have to wonder if this has anything to do with Hope Summers. Being the mutant messiah, is she going to start up or lead a new team? Since she was the first mutant birth since M-Day, are we going to see more births coming? 
 
We also have the upcoming Vampire wars the X-Men will involved in. How does this relate to that? That will be happening in the new X-Men title wihile this is taking place in Uncanny X-Men (written by Matt Fraction with pencils by Whilce Portacio and cover by Terry Dodson). In Uncanny X-Men #526, there will also be a backup story by Allan Heinberg and Olivier Coipel. Hmm...Heinberg is bringing back Scarlet Witch in Avengers: The Children's Crusade. Is there a connection?  
 == TEASER ==
Here's a look at the other teaser/promo. Who are these ladies?

The title alone made me groan, then I saw, "written by Matt Fraction" and lost all Hope.

I dunno, the first one to me kinda made me think of Mystique, Nocturne and Blink. Though Blink is descended from Apocalypse so who knows what this will all mean.
 
I was a big Generation X fan so even the slightest possibility of some kind of return is exciting to me...even if its got nothing to do with Generation X.

The teasers are very good. The first one looks like a cross between Mystique and Apocalypse to me. Who knows, she might be Diamanda Nero of Earth-616.

ALSO
 
Fraction or no, given the title, it tells me this may actually be a team Hope's starting consisting of newly remanifested - and manifested - mutants.

Nice! I love x-men right now, its been so good and second coming IMO has been the best thing in comics right now, been having a lot of fun reading them. I'm pumped for this because the whole vampire thing has me on the fence. Really don' t like the sounds of vampires coming into the mix, but this looks sweet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm always in for new characters, especially mutants, but with all the characters that are really not used, is it neccesary for new ones to appear?

First thing that popped into my head too. Maybe a re-powerering, but with the Tempest abilities instead of bug wings and putting Octo-Mom to shame?

That's exactly what I was thinking, too... I mean, nobody wants her to have her fly powers back. Her Tempest abilities -- as NATURAL MUTANT POWERS -- would own.

Gen X didn't make it passed 75 issues.  That's pretty bad by X-Men standards.  There's so little Generation X continuity left as the creators seem to want to brush it under the rug... but it still has a lot of love from the fans.  And since that's in the Gen X font & clearly involves Apoca-Lips, I'm guessing that Jono is going to return to the X-Men. 
 
Shame it's with Fraction & Land.   
 
Shame this is the big spin to launch the new X-Force.   
 
Shame this is the big story to run at the same time as Curse of the Mutants.

The top one looks like Blink with some of Apocalypse's DNA in her. Maybe the same thing that happened to Chamber happened to her?

That would be a point of contention for me as well... but if it means Fraction isn't ruining old faves as he did Emma, then I fully support him slaughtering his own creations.

Possible new mutant births, probable mutant re-emergence of mutant manifestation at puberty, Generation X font, pencils by Whilce Portacio (not Land!)... I am actually a bit excited for this, despite Fraction's name being attached to it. Please let this be a good thing. I made a bunch of assumption based on this, I hope one or more of them are true.

The idea is awesome. But everytime I see Greg Land doing that kind of piece I start wondering where he traced it from.
