It's not just Jonathan Hickman who can use clever numerology in his titles! Now, from the Diamond Retailer lunch as Dan Diego Comic-Con, we have our first look at some of the covers from X-Treme X-Men². In addition to the cover for the first issue, we now know that original X-Treme X-Men artist Salvador Larroca will be the artist on the series, which will kick off officially in November.

Marvel also showed off some variants for the first issue, by Chrissie Zullo, Phil Noto, and Carlos Gomez.

But this wouldn't be X-Treme if those variants were limited only to X-Treme X-Men², would it? So there will also be a line of X-Treme Marvel variants coming in November as well. Excelsior!
