Advanced X-Solicitations for April 2010 (from CBR)

I'm so excited for these titles coming out in April of 2010. For those of you who don't know, I'm a huge X-Men fan. I've always liked the animated series... even the Spiderman and His Amazing Friends cartoon that featured Iceman and Firestar. But it was only really in High School, when I was with mom in Fully Booked that I started getting hooked in comic books. I believe it was Grant Morrison's run on New Xmen that got me back into the game. I saw the cover - it was comprised of Professor X, Jean Grey, Beast, Wolverine and Cyclops. The rest? I had no clue. So I got curious and collected back, and collected forward... which leads me to now.

An event four years in the making, Second Coming is finally here. Hope, the mutant kid who was born after M-Day which triggered all these forces within the X-Men Lore to scuttle to get possession over a mutant who could be the most powerful mutant in the world, is back in the present with her guardian Cable after leaping into the future to escape the newly turned villain Bishop. There's a huge target in Hope's back because some see her as the destruction of mutant kind, and others, kind of a deus ex machina who can be the savior of mutant kind.... basta long story short, she's mutantkind's last hope and the X-Men are going to do everything they can from the forces that want to destroy her...
