User blog comment:Johnnybravo44/which x-man do YOU think will die?/@comment-1671874-20100420225614

ive researched it quite a bit, and rumors are Karma gets severly injured from Hodge, Nightcrawler teleports in front of Hope and dies sacrificing himself, and Cable dies at the end as a final sacrifice. I also heard Ariel dies, and other random minor characters might too. keep in mind- these are just rumors, on many different sites. put together, this is what most people are saying.

also hints in interviews with X-Men writers Carey and Lowe point towards Nightcrawler and Cable dying, as well as Ariel. so probably not Karma, as the New Mutants series will continue afterwards.

X-Force series will also continue with a new lineup, all of which, except two, (my bets on Angel and Wolverine) supposedly have had no past ties with X-Force. (and for some reason, im thinking Magik joins).. well, i guess i should let Second Coming finish before i guess on that too.. lol
