Despite the lack of Betsy, these solicitations look very interesting.

I love Gillen's UXM run, which was unfortunately cut short due to AvX and its consequences - and even then, he managed to make the tie-in issues work with the overall plot his run had. So I'm optimistic with his return (hopefully Marvel won't interfere much with his run this time).

The X-Men issue involving the councils in Krakoa, Arakko and Orchis also looks interesting. And so does Cassandra Nova's return - hopefully she'll finally get to meet Ernst face to face (that is, unless she and Ernst somehow merged into a single being again).

So far, only Knights of X, X-Force and New Mutants didn't make me interested.
