Marvel Previews 'X-Men: Schism' #1

Sometimes artists seem like they are a better fit at one of the two major publishers, but Carlo Pacheco’s artwork has been fantastic at both DC and Marvel. Pacheco is handling the pencils on X-Men: Schism #1, the X-Men event that will see distinct and divisive lines drawn between the team. With Cyclops and his group of mutants on one side, and Wolverine and his followers on another, this should shape up as one of the most major status quo changes for the team since Wanda Maximoff uttered the words “no more mutants.”

Check out Pacheco’s fine pencil’s from Marvel’s preview pages after the jump.
