I <3 Adam Kubert's artwork so hard.

 

[El Bastardo]

Yeah, too bad that one image took him the better part of the year.

</sarcasm>

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Slow and steady wins the race?

And here's hoping that's all we see of those Gen Hope kids.

Oh no they're involved in it while the other kids are thrown to the wayside.

Loved the issue. Better than I expected. This is going to have different art each issue? Not liking that inconsistency

Also Idie is 14 now? Wasnt she 12 when she debuted? Its been over a year since Second Coming?

 

[Kanon]

I liked #1. Not super great, but I'm excited about the new direction

Looks like someone is rising as the new Magneto...

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Schism #1 was really good. Felt good to get back to basics, X-Men vs sentinels with humans freaking the F out. Can't wait till Scott/Logan start having big time disagreements

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Is Schism already out?

Does my comic book shop just suck, or did I miss something?

I was down there today, and all they had was Prelude To Schism #1 and #2. Picked them both up. I liked them. But the shop didn't have #3 or 4, or any Schism comics.

 

[chamber-music]

Schism was really good one of the better X-Men comics I have read in a while and Kid Omega is a good villain from Grant Morrisons run who I could certainly see him as a future A-List X-Men villian. He reminds me of Tetsuo from Akira meets Magneto.

 

[Specter313]

The X-Men event of the decade starts here! It's never been a more dangerous time to be a mutant. Even with their numbers at a record low, the world refuses to trust mutantkind...and after a mutant-triggered international incident, anti-mutant hatred hits new heights. Of course it's at this moment, when the mutant race needs most to stand together, that a split begins that will tear apart the very foundation of the X-Men. From superstar writer and Marvel Architect Jason Aaron and a full roster of comics' top artists, this is an X-tale that will reverberate for years to come! Come October, the X-Men landscape will be irreparably changed.

Variant Cover by FRANK CHO
It all comes down to this! After years of fighting side-by-side the X-Men are torn irrevocably in half. On one side, X-Men team leader, Cyclops. On the other, X-Men mainstay, Wolverine. Between them lies the fate of mutantkind, and surrounding them, the foes who want to end them forever! Be there for the conclusion of the story that will set the stage for the X-Men universe for years to come, from Marvel Architect writer Jason Aaron and art legend Adam Kubert!

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm very curious to see what causes them to start fighting physically.

 

[OutcryX]

i really really want Cyclops to end Wolverine

 

[Spider-Nerd]

i really really want Cyclops to end Wolverine

I don't want him to end wolverine, but a good ass kicking would certainly be enjoyable.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I need to find these. I only have prelude to Schism #1 - 3.

No #4. No actual Schism. Can't find 'em anywhere.

 

[triplefive]

as much as i actually quite enjoyed the comraderie between Cyclops and Wolverine in the first issue of Schism, i can't wait for it to all fall apart

the one-on-one battle artwork is really doing it for me

/awkward phrasing

 

[El Bastardo]

I need to find these. I only have prelude to Schism #1 - 3.

No #4. No actual Schism. Can't find 'em anywhere.

Don't even bother, unless you're obsessive and absolutely need it because you have 75% of the miniseries.

I wish I hadn't bought them.

 

[Snikt8]

How can anyone NOT be stoked about this storyline? The one negative is that they end the numbering of Uncanny....but the split is a good story...even though its been done before. I just hope Kitty and Rogue go with Logan, looks like Juggerlossus will be going with Scott. It is intersting that there are no Scott images following #5 though, hopefully Logan ends Scott. That would be awesome.
