Marvel Previews 'X-Men: Schism' #1

I’ve been more excited for what Marvel has planned to disrupt the X-Men’s status quo with this summer’s X-Men: Schism event than I’ve been for just about any other event coming our way this year. Helmed by Jason Aaron and a cadre of fantastic artists, Schism features the breakdown of Cyclops and Wolverine’s relationship. And why not? Their wildly differing viewpoints on mutant harmony have been clearly established in the pages of X-Men, Uncanny X-Men and Uncanny X-Force. I assume Cyclops’ discovery of Wolverine’s cover X-Force team will contribute to the catalyst that breaks the mutant team into two factions.
