After looking at these images and seeing how the Baby Mutant's hair is growing, I'm wondering if this little girl is someone we already know.  After all this time, she still doesn't have a name (at least I don't think so, I still have to read issue #5).  This mutant is supposed to save mutantkind, right?  Well...what if this baby was really a certain other red-haired female mutant we all know and haven't seen around for a while?  Maybe that's why Cable's so compelled to protect her.  Or maybe I'm just crazy.

But not as crazy as that Ape variant cover!

The X-Men Join Cable’s War!

 
After the status quo shattering Messiah CompleX, Cable found himself on the run through time with the new mutant child and now the X-Men make a move to aid him! In the extra-sized Cable #6, featuring a longer story from acclaimed novelist Duane Swierczynski (Immortal Iron Fist), along with artists Ariel Olivetti and Michel Lacombe, presents a story of a father and son separated by generations, but sharing the same mission—saving mutantkind. In the present, Cyclops looks for a sign that he made the right decision, while in the future, his son Cable is still on the run from his former ally Bishop. What will Cyclops & The X-Men do to help Cable? Will it be enough? And will he come to regret it?


Additionally, to celebrate Marvel’s landmark simian series, Marvel Apes, debuting in September, this issue features a Monkey Variant cover by legendary artist Rob Liefeld!
 
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Cable #6, an X-Men: Manifest Destiny tie-in and perfect jumping on point for new readers! Wrapped up in a gorgeous cover by Adi Granov, and tying into current X-Men events, no X-fan should miss the extra-sized Cable #6!

All I have to say is that's a good look for Emma.  Something about those pants...

Steven M. Bari of ComicsBulletin.Com gushed, “Salivate over Mike Choi's art. His work isn't just perfect anatomically and thematically. It's sexy!”

“Ed Brubaker is obviously having a lot of fun with his latest Uncanny X-Men arc. I'm glad to say I am too,” said Jesse Schedeen of IGN.Com.

Okay there may be a big SPOILER in the last image.  You have been warned!

Mutants. They are on the verge of extinction. Since the end of House of M, there has not been a single mutant birth and each death brings the mutant population closer to zero. In June's X-Men: Endangered Species One-Shot, another mutant's name gets crossed off the list.

Written by X-Men scribe Mike Carey and featuring the vibrant art of Scot Eaton, this one-shot lays the foundation for everything to come in all the X-Men titles, including this fall’s X-Men crossover event.

“This is an elegy - and a story where, for once, action gets put on the back burner” said Carey. “We're looking at a different kind of courage here, and a different kind of crisis. Everything over the past year has built towards this point. This is like the prelude to a symphony. And the symphony is going to have cannons in it, but the prelude is in a different key altogether.”

This self-contained, double-sized one-shot provides the perfect jumping-on point for fans new and old, defining the current status of the X-Men and thrusting forward into a bold new direction for all of Marvel’s mutants!
