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?

@Shipwreck: I was thinking that was Cipher. I'd like to see more about the "He" that she was worried about finding her.

If they were born after Second Coming, they sure grew up fast.

Hope had better save the entire flipping universe...or else I'm gonna have issues with her due to a certain fuzzy mutant who sacrificed himself so she wouldn't become robo-fodder...

hmm the generation X font leads me to believe that the second girl has something to do with the M-Twins... but that could just be me. The other one is definitely Apocalypse related

The black girl kind of looks like Aliyah Bishop from X-Men: The End. Which could be interesting if she's decided to pop through time and finds out Hope and Cable *maybe* killed her dad.

I do. I think he's doing a horrible job. The guy cannot write any of the characters in the book well, including Cyclops, who is his favorite.

He was transferred to Legacy, unfortunately. I would rather he had stayed on Uncanny. "
Why can't he be transferred out of marvel? "
  Well corect me if am wrong for the next Legacy story arc it seems to be Clay Mann on the art, if we are lucky Greg Land won't touch it again.

The first young woman is obviously related or a byproduct of Apocalypse. Is she Hope Summers, or Blink, perhaps. The African American girl reminds me of Crux from Cerebro's X-Men.

Hope seems to have different powers. DOes it mean Hope have all powers from mutants ever since M-Day? Does it mean she is not human and mutant after all, what is she? Its just a theory. This covers make me wonder somewhere else.

@Korg:   I dont think that Fraction is doing a bad job its just not as good as some of the other writers that have been on the x-men, as for the artists Dodson is better than Land but neither is fantastic compared to Mike Choi and Sonia Oback - they are who i would want doing the art on uncanny, didn't they do the divided we stand arc in uncanny anyway?

This seems to be the general consensus. I didn't care for his Iron man, but I'm not a big IM fan to begin with. However, I have enjoyed what I've read of his work with Brubaker on Iron Fist. He just shouldn't be writing X-Men though. It's a bad fit, and the artists (Land and Dodson) have just made things worse.

@Korg:  Again, I have only been reading for a few months and I have not been paying attention to who writes which XSC issue, but he is great on Invincible IM. I am really enjoying the latest arc. Perhaps, he just cannot do team books well.

Maybe Blink goes to get help from Apocalypse and finally realizes her decent from him and becomes his prodigy.

the second chick is the unfortunate result of a drunken night of passion at the x-mansion between Cable, Bishop and Storm. That or she bought some freaking contacts..or maybe my friend is right and all x-men comics are potrayed from the point of a uni student who found some potent hallucinogenics. 

Really? Second coming is coming to an end? Other then one very tragic event [which hopefully Marvel will let it stay tragic *cough* Steve *cough*] nothing actually seemed to happen other than Nimrod Flailing.. 
 
Who ever that is up front makes me think of Apocolypse..the face makeup/possible scars..I recon there is a chance it's Blink..we haven't seen her for a bit.

hmmmm, well maybe I won't drop Uncanny X-Men after Second Comming, not that I hate Second Comming just seemed like a good time to jump off.
 
I wonder if this has nothing to do with Hope at all and has to do with the Sublime plot line Fraction was working on before Second Coming started.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Apocalypse-looking lady is Hope Summers. In Second Coming #10 we see her eyes glowing red before they runs off in rage, to which Scott comments that they are just like his. This latest teaser combined with that make me think of back during that whole "The Twelve" thing when Apocalypse took over Cyclops' body (or something similar to that). I just can't help but feel that all three are connected in some way.
 
Also, while we are on the topic of the Twelve, I'd like to ask what the Hell is up with Sunfire being a member of a group of mutants who will shape the future of mutant kind, only to end up doing jack all since then. So what, he's joined the Acolytes? Lot of good that did.

   The second girl kinda reminds me of Aliyah Bishop. Maybe they're both just new mutants that have had their powers activated thanks to Hope or Scarlet Witch. Either way, they look awsome! Can't wait to find out more!

The worst is probably Larry Stroman. How that guy ever got work is beyond me. I'd like to see Choi and Oback on Legacy with Clayton Crain on X-Force.
