I'll upload a larger pic as soon as Marvel make one available.
"some developments" - I hope this means, the return of Diamond Lil. Doubt it, but I can hope.
That was my first initial fanboy thought!
That's great news! Funny thing is that I predicted this exact title just a few days ago!!!! I also predicted a team-Up book with Northstar and Dazzler....will I go 2 for 2?

It'll be great to see Madison getting used more than he has been lately.
I'd still prefer to see him in Alpha Flight though.
FREG was told they couldn't use Madison Jeffries because he was a property of the X-books. I doubt this new series had anything to do with the Jeffries ban.
sweet. well I guess I'm off to my local comic shop... for the fifth time today.
Now, THAT's hardcore. Solicit is for a December book, so bring supplies for the long wait until the book comes out.

I'm thinking Billy Dee Williams. Course, its only his career that is dead.I'm sure you can imagine who else I have in mind. Bet you're thinking the same.

A bit more on the mini over at Bleeding Cool:
We-ell, on the one hand it’s an opportunity to have some fun with a lot of slicing-edge science. A lot of the most exciting future-concepts in the “real world” are out-of-bounds to contemporary fiction because the technologies (or the theory, or the R&D, or the materials, or whatever) aren’t quite up to spec. But of course the Marvel Universe exists a little further towards the “anything-can-happen” end of the spectrum, so suddenly it’s open season on all these deranged bio-, chemo- and techno-theories we’ve all been waiting for.
For instance, some of the story revolves around the construction of a Space Elevator. That’s a concept which has had Scientists dribbling for years, but despite the theory being completely sound there are just too many technological stumbling-blocks to make it practicable anytime soon in the real world. But in the Marvel U? You’ve got a Canadian tech-savant who can intuitively build a nanotube tether, a hardlight-generating A.I. capable of computing engineering stresses and rare-earth ion-boosters during construction, and a bloody ex-villain with dominion over All Things Magnetic who can shift your colossal space-station counterweight into geosynchronous orbit easy as pie. Hey presto, Space Elevator. And that’s just the start.
And if all that sounds a bit too much like technogibberish, fret not. Because on Hand-the-Second, WE DO SCIENCE also an opportunity to explore 4 of the most amazing and underused characters in the X-verse. Which means Kavita Rao being biosavvy and soulful, Jeffries being spaced-out and emotionally confused, Danger being – well… utterly and completely changed, hahaha – and Nemesis being the world’s only and best SCIENCE BASTARD.
There are some big, big surprises in store, for the Science Team and the X-Men alike. And, yes, to overegg the bloody pudding with an old favourite, THE STATUS-QUO WILL CHANGE. Okay? Okay.
Hints at changes that are never stated, never pinned down, never expanded on. Hm. That's...almost like saying nothing at all?
"There are some big, big surprises in store, for the Science Team" - again, absolutely no hints as to what they are? Colour me...pessimistic. And probably not very interested. I'll wait for the aftermath of the reveal of said surprises, before even THINKING about giving this more than a yawn. But that is just m.h.o.
