"They're here presented with a chance to have their reputations exonerated and their records sealed [if they join the Dark X-Men]," explains Fraction. "Osborn presents it to them as the ultimate public service, [where] they can work off their past indiscretions—[such as] Cloak's dealings with the Avengers during the [Skrull] invasion."

There's suppose to be one of these for each Dark X-Men (Mimic was yesterday). Tomorrow it'll be somebody else. Along with Matt Fraction's thoughts they also have Dossiers taking from Cyclop's own files. Its kind of a cool way to advertise the upcoming event. Nice to see Cloak and Dagger involved in something.

Very interesting. 

At Comic-Con it was announced that they were getting a mini-series by Valerie D'Orazio and Irene Flores.  I think it got bumped in part because of this. 

I'm actually pretty excited for the X-Men/Dark Avengers crossover

They are just getting a mini series, aren't they?

Article: Leave it to Norman to blackmail members to join the team.  Fraction goes on to point out that they are not team players.  They've mainly stuck to working with only each other.  Now they have to adapt to working with a full team.

Me: Tony blackmailed Ares, so why shouldn't Norman do the same?

And while "they" might not be team players, Dagger has been a member of the New Warriors and worked with the Marvel Knights (not sure if that's what they called themselves, I only read the first few issues) so she can be a team player.

@Gambler: Do you know how long the Dark X-Men: The Beginning is? I know that the Crossover is a 6 parts.

@AV: How did Norman blackmail Ares?

Cloak has dreadlocks?

I think that the involvement of the X-Men in the DARK REIGN arc is probably the best thing Marvel can do.  During CIVIL WAR and even during SECRET INVASION, they kind of "played the wall".  They had their own minis tying them into the storyline, but those basically explained that the X-Men were staying out of it. 

Now, Normie's taking it too far.  We all know that the Dark Avengers are going to implode eventually.  And with Daken as a member of the "Dark X-Men" won't that cause some problems?  It has too.

I buy predominantly DC titles, but this has become the one storyline this year that I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see what comes next.  How will this effect the X-Men as a whole?  And what the hell does Emma think she's doing?  Really?!

I'm loving how Marvel's giving us the low-down before the showdown.  It's going to be tight.

I like

Love Daken's new costume

that was a lame explanation. 

I Hate Cloak & Dagger's new look, and I know Dagger's change is minimal, but is still off-putting.

She's a ballet dancer with snow boots?

I actually like Cloaks new look. Its more regal (even if he does look like a Lion)

liking Daken's new suit but who has the wings?   *hoping it ain't Arcangel*

Is that really weapon omega in the back Left corner ?

looks interesting... we'll see

There's a new dossier up for Daken

neat idea

Please tell me those are dreads

one question they were member of cap's  now member of dark x-men someone explain it to me ?
