    The Fantomex Love Pentagram explodes! With the truth about their sordid past fully revealed, can Fantomex, Psylocke and Cluster look each other in the eye? Now we know what Psylocke did last summer, and it’s a doozy! But every psychic ninja needs a vicious animal with no impulse control and a short temper to back her up, right? The skies of Madripoor run red as the Uncanny X-Force faces off against Fantomex…Fantomex…and Fantomex! Newly reunited, the team must cope with the fallout of their recent decisions. Bishop provides more information about the dangerous threats they face — but can he be believed, or is he only manipulating X-Force?

      I'm not sure how any of that can be wrong, but okay. Good work, Phil!

      Ahh no, nothing I put together was wrong, just that there were some art-tweaks made in the textless preview files that you pointed out, and the final published versions, so I couldn't see the connections in what was there, but using the final ones I get this:

      Attachment 3234

      There have been 2 more solicited for Wolverine #11 (Nov) and All-New X-Men #20 (Dec) so those could well be the last pieces, in which case I'd guess the All-New, All-Different team from Giant-Sized #1, and the Whedon team from Astonishing #1.

      All-New, All-Different team from Giant-Sized #1
      I predict that Marvel's next big title will be the All-Same, All-Wolverine X-Avengemen.

      It'll feature Wolverine, Deadpool, Captain America, and Spider-Man. Each issue, one of the four will team up with one of the other three, and they will do something that changes nothing.

      Marvel.com: From the start of this series, you have been carefully constructing the buildup to the Revenant War while developing character dynamics in parallel. In terms of building dynamics and having a character to play off others, how much has it helped to have someone as quirky like Puck to utilize and play off the others?
      Sam Humphries: We have a lot of grim characters in this book, facing a lot of grim threats. It's fun to be able to let off some steam in the book by letting Puck be the charming smart ass that he is.

      That's pretty cool, that they've got him there to make it less grim.
