There might not be a whole lot going on in Prelude to Schism but looking at the images for Schism #2, we're getting more of an idea.
Schism is intended to be the event of the summer for the X-Men. It'll be interesting to see the reception this event will get when Fear Itself is still going on and Spider-Island will be happening as well. Fear Itself is meant to be the giant event involving all the Marvel Universe while this, and others, are meant to be smaller and more self-contained.
Schism will be written by Marvel Architect Jason Aaron and with art by Frank Cho. What we can see in these preview pages is Sentinels are attacking.
Sentinels? Really? This clearly can't be the big threat that is threatening to wipe out all Mutankind. How many times have the X-Men dealt with the Sentinels? There's got to be something else brewing. Wolverine and Cyclops will be banding the mutants on Utopia together to take on the threat head-on. The tension is boiling and one of them will go too far.
Easy money says it's Wolverine but maybe it will actually be Cyclops that causes the Schism. We should be finding out in July. And if all that wasn't enough, check out the last preview page below for the return of a certain character that is bound to cause more problems.
== TEASER ==Schism #2 is on sale July 27, 2011 and will have a $3.99 price tag.
