Where on Earth is The Beast in Age Of X-Man – White Bag Variants Tell Its Secret History

Back in December, Bleeding Cool told you that Marvel Comics was to publish 'secret' white-bagged variant covers of their then-upcoming Age Of X-Man series of mini-series.

And would appear on Amazing Nightcrawler #1, Nextgen #1, Marvelous X-Men #1, X-Tremist #1, Apocalypse and the X-Tracts #1 and Prisoner X #1.

Age Of X-Man: Marvelous X-Men #1 came out last week, and the secret white bagged variant showed a hidden scene, Hope's last stand against Stryfe, before the Resolution. And the death of Cyclops, Cable, Hope and Wolverine.
