Uncanny X-Men #544 Preview

Uncanny X-Men #544 is the final issue of the series, as Fear Itself and Schism give way to Regenesis. Uncanny will relaunch with a new #1 alongside the new series Wolverine and the X-Men, as the team is split down the middle between those who stay on Utopia with Cyclops and Wolverine's team, which will return to Westchester. But before the new beginning, Uncanny ends in this issue, written by Kieron Gillen with art by - Greg Land? Really? All right, then.

After the hammer-blow of FEAR ITSELF and the violence of SCHISM, it can't go on. It's the end of the Uncanny X-Men. And who better to provide a stirring eulogy than... MISTER SINISTER? Join us for the end of the industry-shaping series with the return of the 19th century's finest morally dubious scientist.

Nate Grey Leads the New Mutants to Utopia

Marvel has released more images for Regenesis, the upcoming post-Schism event which divides the X-Men members and titles into two camps: some will follow Cyclops, presumably on Utopia, spearheaded by the relaunched Uncanny X-Men #1. The others will follow Logan, beginning with the launch of Wolverine and the X-Men #1.

The promotional images continue to be focused on a single character, with silhouettes of their teamates in the background. The most recent image is the most obvious, as Nate Grey (X-Man) leads the New Mutants into Cyclops' camp beginning with New Mutants #33.

New Mutants joins Generation Hope and the Victor Gischler-written X-Men series in the Uncanny camp.

Wolverine and the X-Men, on the other hand, has so far only obtained the allegiance of X-Men: Legacy, not that there's anything wrong with that. More pressingly, I'd like to know where Logan's team is headquartered, and why everything looks like it's on fire. Is that someone's power manifesting, or are they located somewhere blazingly hot?

Thoughts, speculation, etc.? Hit me up with the comments!

Post-Schism 'X-Men' Teaser Images

X-BFFS: Bromance No More!

In the aftermath of Wolverine and Cyclops' falling out in Schism, the X-Men will be split into two teams (and two titles): Wolverine and the X-Men, debuting in October, and Uncanny X-Men, relaunching in November.

Marvel has released teaser images for the two titles, each showing a single team member, with their teammates in silhouette behind them. Wolverine is on the cover of Wolverine and the X-Men #1, launching in October, and curiously, Emma Frost - not Cyclops - is on the cover of Uncanny X-Men #1. Many took it as a given that the obvious team leader of Uncanny would be Cyclops, so his absence on the cover raises quite a few questions and has me anxious to see how Schism plays out.

Any guesses as to who's going to be on which team? or where the heck Cyclops is for that matter? Check out the images below (click to view full-size).

X-Men: Schism #2 Pages from Frank Cho

These two pages from X-Men: Schism #2 look absolutely stellar, which isn't surprising coming as they do from the great Frank Cho.


Grrr Cyclops is such a dorkus! He used to be cool, but now he totally sucks!

An argument over hair ensues. It is too evenly matched, there is no winner. FORESHADOWING...
