Other news that sounds cool:

Claremont's New Excalibur with Nocture, Pete Wisdom, Sage, Juggernaut, Dazzler and Captain Britain - ditto.

Morbius will be part of Giffen's Howling Commandos book.

Milligan and Allred will be reuniting for an X-Statix miniseries - Dead Girl, featuring a whole host of deceased Marvel characters.

Bendis is writing a TV series based on the "Alias" comic, starring Jessica Jones. Called Alter Ego.

Warren Ellis' Nextwave features characters: Boom Boom/Meltdown, Machine Man, Dirk Anger, The Captain, Photon and Ellie Bloodstone. Ellis is also insane. (http://www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=36&t=004091)

Upcoming New X-Men co-writer Craig Kyle said he grew up reading and loving the original New Mutants and wants to bring New X-Men back to that style. He described that as “kids with powers thrust into the adult world, fighting battles before they are really ready for it, but somehow enduring and pulling together.”

Hints at a Longshot series written by either Bendis, Bedard, Layman, Kyle or Jenkins, Maybe.
