Marvel Schism (X-Men: Schism, 2011) 5 Issue Mini Series
Marvel Schism is a 5-issue limited miniseries that marks one of the most important turning points in modern X-Men history. The story centers on an irreconcilable ideological conflict between Cyclops and Wolverine over the future of mutantkind and, most critically, how mutant children should be raised and protected in a hostile world.
When a catastrophic threat forces the X-Men into an impossible situation involving young mutants, long-standing philosophical differences erupt into open confrontation. Cyclops believes survival demands discipline, preparedness, and hard choices, while Wolverine insists that children should never be treated as soldiers.
The series concludes with a permanent fracture of the X-Men, directly leading to the formation of two opposing paths: Cyclops’ militant X-Men and Wolverine’s Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. As a self-contained event with lasting consequences, Schism serves as the foundation for nearly every major X-Men storyline that followed in the early 2010s.
