After browsing several comic news sites it is believed that this is because as Marvel already have their own independent previews magazine they only get the opportunity to feature on the cover of the main magazine a couple of times a year, and because of this chose to tease an image for the next event to come after Original Sin. I wasn't surprised to not see it arrive in the August solicits seeing as it is only in that month that Original Sin comes to an end and although in the current age of comics there seems to be a swift turn around in events I feel it is more likely we will be seeing this in October, November time.
In regards to the image itself though, we have Red Skull in his Onslaught get up, alongside Carnage, Loki, Sabretooth, Green Goblin and Dr Doom, making up the new Axis of evil, now as with the logo being able to be read both sides up it looks as though there is a "mirror" or reflected image which I believe contains our heroes from the book, and don't quote me on this, but from the sliver of image I think I can make out, Iron Man, Deadpool, Storm and Medusa/ Black Widow, I would assume there are a couple more but these may be hidden behind the other characters much like, I say Medusa/ Black Widow as this is a Avengers and X-Men event and although Medusa does not necessarily come under either of these banners there is a relatively long looking flick of red hair within the bottom of the image.
I for one can not wait to see this, and with the likes of Jim Cheung illustrating this teaser image, he seems to be the event starter of late, Marvel look like they are throwing everything at this. For now though all we know for certain is that Rick Remender will be the writer of this event, so may be worth paying more attention to Uncanny Avengers as I imagine this may tie in quite heavily.
