The Jean Grey School Of Higher Learning

Mutants need a place to go to learn how to control their powers, co-exist with humans and feel protected and that's what Xavier was trying to do. But ever since Scott took over, it felt like the goal was to make an army of mutants, but that doesn't sit very well for him; that is why Wolverine has made The Jean Grey School of Higher Learning.

In an unexpected move, Wolverine will be opening a school for gifted youngsters to learn to control their newly manifested powers in Wolverine and the X-Men after the events of Schism.

Going from an anti-hero to a headmaster is a complete change for Wolverine, so hopefully Jason Aaron won't do anything too drastic with this change. I really do want to see how this will turn out, but I'm also afraid that Wolverine will be changing. I also want to see where Xavier falls, he's still alive in kicking it, but I'm pretty sure he'll land on Wolverine's side.

X-Men Regenesis Scenes

Marvel has been slowly releasing images pertaining to X-Men Regenesis, the X-Men event to take place after Schism. I guess I have missed an unveiling for some of them. Last time I posted about this, the covers seemed to build a scene, well it's quite apparent now that some of the covers do build a scene. Just take a look at the covers.

It seems like the titles in gold are going to be on Wolverine's side while the titles in blue will continue on Utopia. I'm actually quite surprised Jubilee isn't going to side with Wolverine. 


I'll have to start reading X-Factor, X-Men Legacy and New Mutants this November in order to get the full experience of X-Men Regenesis.

Wolverine And The X-Men Cover Revealed

Big changes will happen to the X-Men world after the events of Schism, the X-Men will break up and form new groups. One notable comic to come out of the event will be Wolverine and the X-Men this October, and Marvel has finally thrown us a teaser picture.

This picture goes along with the renumbering of Uncanny X-Men that was announced at Comic Con this year.

I really cannot make out who any of the characters are in the background except that for Uncanny X-Men I clearly see Magneto and what I believe to be Juggernaut or Colossus wearing Juggernaut's helmet which was teased months ago

X-Men And Their Future

San Diego Comic Con is a perfect time for Marvel to discuss their plans for certain Marvel heroes, and today were the X-Men's day.  

The world of X-Men is changing with Schism going on and lots of changes will take place during the events of Schism and afterwards.

Starting with X-Men: Regenesis in October, mutants will start to separate from one another and form their own groups with their own ideologies. Wolverine and the X-Men will also hit in October while Uncanny X-Men gets a renumbering. Marvel has released a picture for Uncanny X-Men, but notice that someone is missing?

Cylops isn't at her side on Utopia and Marvel won't tell us why. Instead, we'll have to read Schism and it will be revealed to us.

All X-Men titles will be affected from this mutant shaking event, even Uncanny X-Force will face something, despite them currently running their Dark Angel Saga.

Ron Gamely will be returning to Wolverine in the aftermath of Schism as he's being forced out of San Francisco for an unknown reason. Arune Singh says this about Wolverine:

"He needs some money, so he goes to his stash. But someone's stolen his stash, and that's a very bad idea. He's going to get it back, and he'll tear apart San Francisco to find it."

X-Men, X-Men Legact, Generation Hope, and X-Force are the only comics that will be continuing after the events of Schism. 

People have always wondered why X-Men don't play a large role in the Marvel Universe like all the other heroes. Axel Alonso says that, "there's a reason 'Fear Itself' and 'Schism' come to a conclusion the same month." And that the X-Men will have a pretty important role in the Marvel Universe. 

Moving away from Schism, Wolverine's female clone will be taking on the FF in an upcoming X-23 comic, and his son, Daken, will still be trying to sneak his way to the top as a crime lord in L.A. where he'll encounter Moon Knight. Singh says that there's a reason why L.A. is starting to become popular in some Marvel titles. 

Yesterday, Marvel announced a new character, Evil Deadpool. Daniel Way explains how Evil Deadpool forms, "Evil Deadpool is a collection of Deadpool's former body parts that were thrown into a dumpster and gelled together." He continues to say, "Evil Deadpool does lead into something really big, but I don't have clearance to talk about it yet."

One audience member asked about Jean and if she's coming back, in which Rick Remender replies with, "It's not the 616 Jean, but Jean plays a big role in 'Dark Angel Saga.'" By the looks of it, Marvel has no intention to do anything with Jean besides the Age of Apocalypse Jean.

Lots of questions were asked about returning characters, like Mimic, Psylocke, Maggot, Cable and Scarlet Witch, but Marvel isn't giving much away about them. Axel Alonso hinted that Cyclops might not be around  when he said, "don't assume Cyclops will be around." 


Lots of stuff will be going on in the X-Men Universe, and they seem pretty big and important to the whole Marvel Universe. I'm pumped and can't wait to see all the plans; I wanna know what happens to Cyclops and Wolverine and how other mutants will deal with Schism.

X-Men Schism #01 Review

I just finished reading the first issue of X-Men: Schism, that comic made was full of fun, memories and shock. The prelude to this new X-Men event made it seem like something cosmic was coming for the X-Men, and one theory was that the Dreaming Celestial, Tiamut, was the one watching over them and knowing what they're planning. In reality, they were talking about humanity going back to hating and fearing the entire human race once again.

Schism starts off with Cyclops and Wolverine heading to an Arms Control Conference were Cyclops demands a partition in order to disassemble every Sentinel that every country is holding. Cyclops' demands are cut short when Kid Omega jumps into the conference and a telepathic burst against all the politicians, forcing them to spout out all their personal secrets, trying to show the world that human kinds' leaders are a bunch of no good liars (like we didn't already know that). Due to Kid Omega's interruption, a small army of Sentinels are sent to capture anyone with the descriptions of "male" and "mutant", making Wolverine and Cykes caught in the middle.

This causes a huge spark that creates burning emotions hatred and fear of mutant kind once again. Many leaders of various countries felt as if they were provoked and sends out their various designs of Sentinels to retaliate against the mutant race; North Korea being one of them. After seeing all of the Sentinels being released, Cyclops feels as if he has to fight back.

In the end, Kid Omega's attack is revealed to be provoked by a kid, Kade Kilgore, the son of Carlton Kilgore who is a arms manufacturer against mutants. Kade snuck into Utopia and busted out Kid Omega, but made Kid Omega think that it was himself that escaped. Kade did all this to become the New Black King of the Hellfire Club.

The Wolverine against Cyclops battle is an old thing, but this might be the breaking point for the two teammates. We know that this is what's going to break up the X-Men; Cyclops is going to prepare an army of mutants to prepare against the Sentinels while Wolverine thinks that not every mutant should be a soldier, that not everyone is ready, especially Hope's team. Wolverine wants all the kids to stay away from this battle while Cyclops wants to include them.

One thing I loved about this comic was Wolverine showing affection towards Idie by giving her a doll, reminding her of what she use to have. Wolverine's and Cyclops' different views are clearly different in this issue, and I love it. Jason Aaron is doing an excellent job with this and it's just been one issue, I can't wait to see what he has to offer for the rest of the series. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to read more X-Men comics, along with the prelude issues.

The End of Uncanny X-Men

After 554 issues, Uncanny X-Men will be laid to rest this October; it will be known as the longest running X-Men comic title. Uncanny X-Men will end after the event of X-Men Schism, it seems like the whole world of the X-Men will fall apart and things will be different for the mutants. We will all get to see how the biggest team in the Marvel Universe will crumble this October.

So far this will be the second Marvel comic title that will be ending this year, the first being Fantastic Four, does this mean that Marvel has other plans to end more long going series in the near future? I hope not, I wouldn't want my Amazing Spider-Man to be cancelled. Remember though, this will not be the complete end for the X-Men, some groups or factions will most likely be made or maybe someone else will have their own group of X-Men. Either way, everything will start soon enough for us to find out.

X-Men Schism

For anyone who has been reading the latest X-Men event. Prelude to X-Men Schism, and been wondering what the hell is going on, Marvel has finally shown some light for us. X-Men Schism is basically about a mutant related international devastation that tears up the X-Men team and will introduce a fight between the leader of the X-Men and the most feared of the X-Men; Cyclops against Wolverine.

I'm guessing that Wolverine will go against Cyclops because of an extremely tough decision Cyclops makes, which can be seen in the Prelude to Schism. Most likely Cyclops sends hundreds of mutants to their deaths and that doesn't settle with Wolverine. Either way, we'll find out what's really happening July 13th.
