    Title says it all. Which event do you think is better? X Men: Schism or Fear Itself?

    Schism led to Wolverine making his own team, and Fear Itself killed Bucky.

    .....

    Spider-Island wins.

    Schism was much better than Fear Itself, though I didn't expect an X-event to be so mediocre. They're usually among the best Marvel has to offer.

    Fear Itself. Main series might have been a tad weak, but some of the tie-ins have been fantastic! Schism was so-so. A great concept and a logical conclusion to all the post-Second Coming stuff, but the main mini was only okay story-wise (lot of plot holes and felt a bit rushed imo) and the prelude mini was just a waste of time and money. Prelude didn't even fit with what happened in the main event!!! On the plus side the, Generation Hope tie-ins were amazing.

    Think another good question would be - What exites you more: post-Schism stories or post-Fear Itself stories? For me it's definitely post-Schism stories. It's the most excited I've been about X-Men for ages! It's a logical conclusion to the whole Messiah Complex - Second Coming period and it paves the way for some potentially awesome stories and great character development. It's a great jumping on point as well and marks a new era for the X-Men. Just read Regenesis yesterday and anticipation is building so much that I may become incontinent with excitement. Nurse!!!

    Fear Itself. It's not great, but it had more things going on than Schism.

    Schism killed the dignity of the X-Men forever. So it's a lot worse.
