Beware of unmarked spoilers

Giuseppe Camuncoli is the artist of the upcoming flagship book
He’s worked with editor Jordan D. White on Darth Vader (where he did an uninterrupted twenty five issue run) and some X-book covers, his (and Humberto Ramos’) usual spots on Amazing Spider-Man have been filled by Ryan Ottley and Pat Gleason, and he’s been pretty much radio silent other than a few pages in Star Wars #108.
  • Jossed: Camuncoli is doing an Image series with Charles Soule and Scott Snyder; Leinil Francis Yu is going to be the artist of the new adjective-less X-Men flagship title.

Psylocke will become an Asian ninja once again
This variant cover made for House of X that shows off the women of X-Men features Psylocke as the iconic ninja rather than Caucasian, complete with the ninja bathing suit. Given that the women in the art (Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde, Storm, Magik, Dani Moonstar, Emma Frost, Mystique and Rogue) are iconic to the series, it's hard to imagine that as being the very obscure Kwannon (her only claim to fame being the body swap). Furthermore, the art of the female characters is consistent with what we've seen so far in Hickman's other X-Men art, and we noticeably haven't seen Psylocke until this point. Given that the major theme of Hickman's X-Men is to revitalize the property again after being stuck in an Audience-Alienating Era for a very long time (to the point where Hickman himself admitted it), and the change back to her original body being very polarizing, and that the previous book that featured white Psylocke as a prominent character was so ill-received that it Hickman convinced Marvel to cancel it in favor of his relaunch, it's not hard to imagine that Status Quo Is God will assert itself and she'll be the ninja once again.
  • Half-Jossed. Betsy is actually becoming the new Captain Britain and remaining Caucasian. However, for what it's worth, Kwannon is wearing the iconic bathing suit and she also takes the identity of Psylocke as Betsy became Captain Britain.

A conflict will eventually cause a Krakoan Civil War to occur

Xavier is controlling everyone
The entire mutant population is acting wildly out-of-character and submitting itself to the wisdom of the most powerful telepath on Earth while he wears a telepathy-augmenting helmet 'round the clock. That probably isn't a coincidence.

An outside factor will lead to mutants not becoming the majority
Or at least slow down the process.

As more and more people become mutants, less and less will relocate to Krakoa
If they do become the majority population on Earth, then it just won't be practical for them all to live in the same country.

The mutants of Krakow will eventually start to venture into alternate universes to prop up the mutant populations there
With the multiverse being the multiverse, things will end up actually backfiring due to some worlds and their inhabitants just being too different.

There are a very small, select few mutants who want nothing to do with Krakoa
This select few include some lesser known heroes who don't want to relocate due to their personal commitments to nations or teams, such as Sabra to Israel and Doorman to his fellow Great Lakes Avengers.

One of the resurrectees will be one of Frank Castle's kids.
Because why wouldn't one of them be a mutant. Neither was old enough to have activated when they died.
  • Jossed. The idea of their resurrection gets picked up elsewhere, but not in Dawn of X, and not because they're mutants.
