Regenesis

Finally reading into detail as to what the Schism story is about and so I got the gist of the story all wrong. Cyclops isn't killed in the ensuing battle against Wolverine. Instead the team is broken apart in the wake of this long overdue meltdown. I can still only speculate as to what finally tears these guys apart after all of this time, but I imagine it has something to do with the change that has been happening in Cyclops.

I mean he was a leader whom didn't really have any confidence in himself and he has always fallen back to the Professor (Xavier) for support. But with him out of the picture and basically the entire X-Universe on his shoulders, everything changed. More importantly, Cyclops himself changed. Long gone was the unsure leader and in his place was a man who was growing increasingly at ease with making the "tough decisions."

Having also just read the prelude to Schism, it was amazing to me that the long standing dream of both Xavier and Magneto had come to pass under the leadership of Cyclops: Mutant kind (what was left of it) was united under a single banner and even just seeing Cyclops, the Professor and Magneto together and not trying to kill one another was a huge deal to me. It made me question just what the hell have I been missing out on after all of these years...?

What also surprised me about this different X-Men was the change that happened to X-Force. Wolverine was leading the charge and they had become the black ops for Cyclops' plans.

Damn.

Eventually I think I am aiming to catch up and read through this change in X-Force. Having only read a few issues of it, I did actually like what I read in that. But I wonder what the future will hold for X-Force and generally every single mutant left? Who will side with who when the dust settles? And come on, is the world really big enough for two X-Men teams?
