X-Men Gone Wild

Basilisk (Cyclops) in X-Men: Age of X

My re-entry into the world of comics has been a slow process and I've been dabbling back into it more and more over the past year or so. I've read a ton of stuff I never really got into before such as Batman, Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk, Wild C.A.T.S., Gen-13 and even Spawn. But things have picked up considerably when I finally came back around to read the comic that got me into it in the first place: X-Men.

I loved the Astonishing X-Men series and I especially loved the fact that Cyclops, hell all of the X-Men, were finally truly evolving. The world wasn't perfect here and mutants were either powered down or being killed off left and right. But one thing I especially liked about this series was the evolution of Cyclops himself. To see him even speaking out against Xavier was surprising and as he fully took control of the team, he became the leader he never really was before.

Things sort of fell off when the creative team changed out, but I still followed along a bit with Cyclops moving the team to San Francisco. What I did not know was the team even went as far as to raise Magneto's old base, Asteroid M.

I'm also currently reading through X-Men: Age of X and it is a interesting take that is almost like the Age of Apocalypse. While Xavier did not form the X-Men in this time and Apocalypse did not take over the world, human kind has hunted the mutants nearly to extinction and Magneto has taken the reigns as General of the resistance. 

But maybe more on all of that stuff later on. I mean I thought everything I had been reading was interesting and it really has been, but you know what? All of the pales in comparison to what I am reading about what comes next for the X-Men (pictured below).

Apparently after all this time, the shit finally hits the fan and Cyclops and Wolverine have at it once and for all. I have to wonder what causes everything to finally boil over? I know it was thrown in there that Wolverine didn't care at all that Cyclops got into a romance with Emma Frost so soon after Jean Grey's death. I can't imagine if that is the cause of this war, but I am sure this has added a bit of fuel to the fire.

What is also interesting about this is the X-Men team will end up splitting at the end of this story arc. One team being lead by Emma Frost and the other by Wolverine. So... I guess we know who goes down in this war? Or does he?

I am actually strongly considering on actually following this story myself, rather then waiting for a paperback collection. As I said, I am curious to know what sparks this fight between these two mainstays and how in the world does this end? And who is following the soon to be new leaders of these two entirely different X-Teams?
