X-Men Endangered Species Rushing to Conclusion!

I grew up on the X-Men. I had a subscription to The Uncanny X-Men for most of my school years and collected them all the way to issue #300. I have near-complete runs of X-Factor, New Mutants, and countless mini-series, one-offs, and other X-stuff. I got into them with the great Mutant Massacre cross-over and they are gearing-up for yet another massive X-crossover event (the first in 10 years)! I quit collecting X-Men years ago, but I have one nagging question:

Whatever happened to Longshot?!

This is an official Marvel press release:

Beast has traveled the world—and peered into the future—to solve the mutant crisis in the red-hot Endangered Species! As each new chapter has appeared in the back of X-Men, Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor, Beast has been unable to reverse the effects of M-Day, the event that left many mutants de-powered and has prevented further mutant births. Science, technology and even a twisted version of himself have failed to provide a solution. Now, on the cusp of compromising his very beliefs to save his race, Beast must turn to the one thing he doesn't understand: magic.

But could Beast's solution lie with the one person who caused this crisis? Could his salvation be…the Scarlet Witch? The shocking answer arrives in the final chapters of Endangered Species, as the X-Men's premier scientific mind must find out if the daughter of Magneto, or even the master of the mystic arts himself—Doctor Strange—can find a way to save the mutant race before their seemingly imminent extinction.

This October, Endangered Species reaches its thrilling conclusion as the future of mutantkind is discovered. But will this discovery set the X-Men on the road to a brighter future or will it damn them to a darker tomorrow? Don't miss the thrilling concluding chapters in Uncanny X-Men #491, X-Factor #24, New X-Men #43 and X-Men #204!

It's all leading up to the first major X-Men crossover in ten years—Messiah CompleX!
