All Star Covers To AVENGERS: X-SANCTION Revealed!
Next week, the road to Avengers VS X-Men begins in Avengers X-Sanction #1 from the blockbuster creative team of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness! And just in time to witness Cable go head to head against Earth’s Mightiest, three prolific artists who put their stamp on Cable join us for more as Marvel unveils their variant covers to Avengers X: Sanction. Stephen Platt, Ian Churchill & Steve Skroce join Marvel’s CCO, Joe Quesada, superstar artists Ed McGuinness and Leinil Yu on amazing covers for the biggest chapter in Cable’s life!
“When Cable came back we knew it had to be big, but I had no idea that we could get superstars STEVE SKROCE and IAN CHURCHILL -- who I had a blast working on the monthly Cable comic back in the day - and, making his return to Marvel, STEPHEN PLATT to all do variant covers for AVENGERS X-SANCTION!” exclaimed Loeb. “This series is a celebration of everything we love about Nathan Summers and it wouldn’t have felt complete without all these guys onboard.”
Cable’s actions will send shockwaves throughout the Marvel Universe and with these special variants featuring brawls against each of Earth’s Mightiest, no fan can miss them!

Not a massive amount of incident for a 1/4 of a comic, is it?
I changed the art probably while you were posting, Figs. The preview went up last week, this PR features the alternate covers. (Didn't change the text, though, which is probably what you were referring to.)
It seemed to be the first 5 pages of the 1st issue. (But I couldn't find your earlier posting of it, just now.)
McGuinness' art is wonderful, but those first 5 pages have an average of less than 3 panels per page!
well, heck, I can just add them again!
:-)
Ah here it is. I hadn't realised that Cable Vs Avengers was actually part of the whole Avengers Vs X-Men thing.
So the advertised '12 issue series' currently stands at 17 when this 4-issue prologue and issue 0 are included.
So far...
