User blog:Johnnybravo44/Wolverine and the X-Men + Uncanny X-Men return!!!

As you all know by now, Schism is the X-Men's Civil War. The aftermath in October will split the X-Men right down the middle between sanctions lead by Cyclops and Wolverine, respectfully. Because of Schism, Uncanny X-Men will end in October with issue #544. However, it will return the next month with a brand new #1 issue.

Now I'm still not a big fan of this relaunch, but it sure does make sense to start over with a brand new Uncanny X-Men. Cyclops and his group of X-Men will take over this title, with Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men, Generation Hope, and Journey into Mystery) staying as the head writer. Just makes sense to keep him on board.



October will also see another brand new X-title, lead by Wolverine: Wolverine and the X-Men. This series will be written by Jason Aaron (Wolverine, Wolverine: Weapon X, and Punishermax), who is also handling Schism itself, so that should be intersting. Not to mention he's been writing Wolverine (albeit on and off) since volume 3, #62. If anyone should write Wolverine and the X-Men, it should be Jason Aaron.

Now, Axel Alonso (current EIC of Marvel Comics and former X-editor) has stated this is not just to bump sales up X-Men wise. He has gone on to say that this has been in the making for some time. (But I don't know about that.) Even more intriguing, he went on to say that Schism is just the setup to the next big X-event of 2012. Also, the launch of these two books is part of a Divided We Stand like arc called X-Men: Regenesis.

X-Men: Schism #1 hits shelves next month and concludes in October. Be prepared to stay in the know for the X-event of the decade by following along with the Marvel Database.

So... what are your additional thoughts on Uncanny X-Men? Are you interested for Wolverine and the X-Men as well? Oh yeah, and Schism: Who will you follow?? Cyclops or Wolverine?
