The Great Divide
Alright, so I'm going to do this review a little bit differently. I'm going to say who chose who's side and why. Then I'll do my Good, Bad part.
SPOILERS!!!
Iceman - Wolverine - Wolverine asked him first and bribed him in beer and basically sucked up to him
Psylocke - Cyclops - Believes that the school is the wrong direction for mutant kind
Colossus - Cyclops - Doesn't think he's safe to be around kids after the Juggernaut incident
Shadowcat - Wolverine - She loves the school (?)
Beast - Wolverine - Wants to teach again
Magneto - Cyclops - Never really gave a reason though maybe he wants to stay on Utopia (formerly Asteroid M)
Rogue - Unsure
Polaris and Havok - Wolverine - They don't want to be near there family so they take Logan's advice and join X-Factor Investigations
Idie - Wolverine - Being forced to go
Cannonball - Wolverine - Needs a rest from all the battles
Husk - Wolverine - Same reason as brother
New Mutants - Cyclops - They want to be heroes, not normal
Dazzler - Cyclops - Scott wants her to look after the remaining X-Kids
Prodigy, Armor, Pixie, Crosta, Surge, Gentle - Cylcops - Don't want to go back to school (school bus of dead friends)
Hellion, Rockslide, Mercury, Anole, Dust, Glob Herman, Indra, Bling!, Blindfold, Match, Trance, Graymalkin - Wolverine - Don't wanna fight

Marvel Girl - Wolverine - Misses the school
Danger - Cyclops - Wants to keep rehabilitating prisoners and doesn't wanna go back to place she was captive
Kid Omega - Wolverine - Forced to leave
Dr. Nemesis (and presumably the X-Club) - Cyclops - Likes his lab to much

No-Girl - Cyclops -
Stepford Cuckoos - Cyclops - 2 against 1
Frenzy - Wolverine - Doesn't want to have to deal with Cylcops - Emma Frost love triangle
Gambit - Wolverine - Bored of Utopia
Toad - Wolverine - Promises to be their janitor
Storm - Cyclops - Scott wants her their to help him lead his somewhat ifffy team
Emma Frost - Cyclops - She likes Scott too much
We also know that Domino and Warpath join Scott's side and Chamber joins Wolverine's side: shown by the previews at the back.
The Good
I thought that the parts with Storm and Emma Frost were great. And especially the thing with Emma. I smell stress between them. Emma is on Scott's side partly because she loves him and partly because she already spent everything she owned on Utopia. Emma followed this speech by addressing him as "Summers", which I thought was very interesting. It showed off Emma's strong side, as she wiped the floor with him, it gave the impression that she is now in control of their relationship. Oh, and the Beast thing was very very amusing.
The Bad
I didn't like Hope's thing with Transonic. I also found that the tribal battle/chose side thing ws strange. Neat at times, but strange. And do savages really wear thongs and loincloths. Let me check my history textbook. They also missed out a couple of important people. Prof X, Karma, Boom-Boom, Legion...what side do they pick? Especially Prof X!!
The Verdict
Certainly interesting, though of course it isn't necessary. You could just Google this entire issue. Neat though if you like team dynamics. I do wish Storm would be with the Black Panther more, I mean, what was the point of marrying him if your always with the X-Mem.
If you read this review, and you have any opinions or questions about who went where, or where is this person, post in comments below, please and thank you.
