Marvel has given us an early look at Young X-Men #5.

Was anyone else besides me wondering what Cyclops was really up to?  Issue 5 promises to give some answers.  Let's not forget Blindfold's vision from the first issue.  I'm starting to get on board the Young X-Men express.  At first I was a little skeptical but I do think this series has a lot of potential.  Plus Marc Guggenheim is a great writer.

Check out this issue on Wednesday, 8/20.

Young X-Men 5

The numbers are in and it's official: Young X-Men is Mighty Marvel's newest hit!!! It's Marvel's youngest mutants in their final showdown with and one of them won't be walking away from it. The Young X-Men's first story arc ends here and nothing will ever be the same again. Yeah, we know lots of books make that claim, but with Marc (Eli Stone, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) Guggenheim and Yanick (ULTIMATE X-MEN) Paquette delivering the goods, you know this one's for real!

"Young X-Men."  I still don't like the sound of that.  Not sure which I like less, this or "New" X-Men.  I still don't really see the point of canceling '"New" and replacing it with this.  So what if it's made up of new members.  They did that all the time in New Mutants and even X-Men.  Just another way to make a new #1 I suppose.  So how long until we get a "Young X-Men vs Young Avengers" crossover?

In the wake of Messiah CompleX, there are no more X-Men…so just who are the Young X-Men? And why has Cyclops sent them after the newly formed Brotherhood? Enter Young X-Men #1, from rising-star scribe Marc Guggenheim (Amazing Spider-Man), fan favorite artist Yanick Paquette and red hot cover artist Terry Dodson! Cyclops’ newest team of mutants has been tasked with one mission—eradication of the Brotherhood—and these new mutants are about to learn a hard truth about life after Messiah CompleX! As old allies become deadly enemies, this team of former New X-Men and new recruits must navigate the treacherous waters of a world where every mission could be their last! An X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, this series helps lay the foundation for the future of mutants and comes wrapped in a stunning variant cover by the sensational Brandon Peterson! Plus, just wait till you see the shocking last page reveal of the new Brotherhood!

“This is the latest in the streamlining of the X-Books,” says X-Editor Nick Lowe. “Following Messiah CompleX we wanted to make sure that ALL the X-Books were firing on all cylinders and Marc and Yanick do their part.” This isn’t your run of the mill teen comic book, though. “The floor is littered with teen super-hero books and we know it. All the stops are pulled out for this one—tons of surprises, a rich tradition, a tight tie to X-Continuity and more intrigue than you can shake a stick at. As well as big consequences for some of your favorite teen mutants (and not just the ones on the cover)!”

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Young X-Men, as the Divided We Stand tie-ins continue to sell out and generate buzz from all corners! Now that the Young X-Men have been brought together, can they accomplish their mission? Or…should they? Find out in Young X-Men #1!

I'm still not sure why they're going with "Young X-Men" when they had a good thing going with "New X-Men."  Guess they've seen so much action and all.  Maybe they're just not so new anymore.  If they are opening up the school again, what do they do when the "teachers" (the X-Men) are away on a mission?  Do they have a substitute teacher system set up?  The series sounds good.   I just think the title is cheesey.
