The Acolytes - Tempo froze time and nicked his body. He's actually dead, but Exodus is going to unkill him... but not without some serious glitches to work through:

X-Men-- don't know what to expect here, really. Anyone seen hints? Who's appearing
Do you mean Uncanny? X-Men's becoming Legacy.
There's an interim arc following Cyclops & Frost; Angel; and Nightcrawler, Colossus & Wolverine. Then there's going to be a new core team starting in #500 - the
FCBD X-Men cover suggests it's the AXM team with Nightcrawler and Pixie replacing Beast and Shadowcat.

X-FACTOR-- supposed to be a character to replace Rahne. All else continues as it was. Though the team now has a more unified purpose in rescuing Layla, I think.
Darwin's the replacement for Wolfsbane.

CABLE-- raising baby Jean (or whoever) off somewhere else. Another time? Like that'll be long-lasting. Other characters? Bishop?
Bishop's the bad guy. He's even been given a metal right arm because Cable has a metal left arm to show how they're mirror images...
Frankly, it looks crap, and this is coming from a Cable fan...

There's a couple of WOLVERINE titles, but I don't pay any attention to those, frankly. Unless there's a guest-star I care about. I think I remember reading that Millar is coming back to Wolverine, which might mean a return to the NORTHSTAR storyline. I'd be into that.
Miller's story is a future story. That sounds, as
this guy so succinctly put it , like "a plot that was developed before the licensed characters to fill it out were chosen. I suppose it's just possible that Millar will make everything seem like an organic outgrowth of the characters, but this synopsis is somewhere between a random pop-culture collage and deliberate Internet bomb-throwing of the sort Millar's indulged in before."

I think Warlock's appearing in NOVA now (anyone read that title and care to confirm?), so maybe there'll even be a bigger reunion in the future.
Warlock's due to appear in Nova #11-12 anyway, when Nova visits the Technarchy homeworld.

It's on pause after July for six-eight months* before Ellis & Bianchi's
AXM: Second Stage gets underway.
