X-Men Schism #5 was good. Wolverine is a dumbass.
Care to spoil it for me? I don't read comics anymore but I always like to hear what's going on with X-men.
Basically, X-Men Schism is a limited series that separates the X-Men. This month is going to be the final issue of Uncanny X-Men. Cyclops and Wolverine are going to have their own teams. Cyclops is blue team in Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine is gold team in Wolverine and the X-Men.
Basically, to have an idea of what's going on you have to know about the House of M/Messiah Complex events in which Scarlet Witch takes away everyone's mutant powers (House of M) and the X-book story Messiah Complex, in which Cable protects the newest mutant birthed in a time when no new mutants are being born, Hope Summers (not related to Scott), a girl from the future. Eventually some mutants gain their powers back. This storyline decimated the mutant population from millions to hundreds. Magneto loses his powers, as does Professor X. Of course, since these are comics we're talking about,
Fast forward to now. The Xavier Institute has been destroyed, so the X-Men move to their own island off the coast of San Francisco Bay christening the island "Utopia". Since there are only hundreds of mutants, mutantdom is facing extinction and this is forcing nations to get more aggressive towards the annihilation of the mutant race. So they're making new, more powerful sentinels and anti-mutant tech. In light of this, Cyclops and Wolverine are having a rift in ideology. Cyclops thinks that because mutants are now a commodity and that mutant kind is literally at war, that the children (Hope and her friends) should be taught how to fight and survive in such times. Wolverine argues that the only reason he fights is so that the children don't have to.
The violence escalates when attending the opening of a museum for the history of mutants when terrorists with new anti-mutant tech manage to kill any mutants in there and knock the X-Men out who are in attendance. Cyclops tells one of the kids trapped in the museum (Idie) to save her own hide by killing the troops inside. This just makes tension worse between Wolverine and Cyclops. The brunt of the X-men forces are out fighting Sentinels across the world as nations get more mutant trigger happy and this leaves Utopia vulnerable, leaving Cyclops and, Wolverine and just a few new recent recruits (Hope and her friends) to fend for themselves. Wolverines hates that Idie had to kill for herself, Cyclops thinks it was necessary in order to survive. With Utopia being taken over by a group of powerful Sentinels, there's no line of defense except for the kids who are there. Wolverine hates this and thinks they should leave. Cyclops argues that they have no other place to go and other nations won't have them and that fighting is the only course of action.
So Wolverine plants bombs across Utopia, and threatens to bomb the place, taking out Utopia and the Sentinels with him. Cyclops and Wolverine fight. I mean, really, really fight. Cyclops blows away Wolverine's face with his beam, to the point where Wolverine face is nothing but a skeleton with eyes. Wolverine sinks his claws deep into Cyclops' body MULTIPLE times. This shit is brutal. All while a Sentinel is about to blow them to pieces. The kids come out and help them beat the Sentinel's and Wolverine disengages the bomb. The next morning Logan tells Scott he's leaving and doesn't want to have anything to do with his X-Men, gets a blackbird, his own team, and moves shop to the destroyed Xavier Institute in New York.
So we have this:
Cyclops now pretty much has a bunch of dudes seen as bad guys on his team (Colossus, who has been infected by...oh it's not worth going into, Magik, Magneto;etc).
Wolverine has this team:
I'm pretty sure that Wolverine WILL call in the Avengers and have them take on Cyclop's X-Men.
