Maybe the single biggest surprise since Marvel's support of the heinous SOPA bill is that Wolverine is the only one not fighting on the cover of Wolverine and the X-Men #9.

I guess when it comes to Avengers vs. X-Men, he's just a wilting lily who can't decide. That seems pretty in-character, huh?

This April, as the Marvel Universe waits on baited breath for the arrival of the all-powerful Phoenix Force, Wolverine must choose a side of the coming war…but will the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning follow? Find out if Logan fights for mutantkind or mankind in Wolverine & The X-Men #9 from the blockbuster creative team of Jason Aaron & Chris Bachalo available in comic shops worldwide and on the Marvel Comics app this April!

Here's a first look at Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega #1, in stores January 4.

• DEBUT ISSUE BY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR BRIAN WOOD (DMZ, Demo, DV8, Northlanders)
• It’s Wolverine versus Kid Omega for dominance of the Jean Grey School.
• Wolverine will discover that the hardest prison to escape can be his own mind.

New artist Nick Bradshaw and Professor Deathlok join the roster in Wolverine and the X-Men #4, on sale January 12.

Just when Logan has a moment to breathe, the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning is visited by THE FUTURE as red-hot artist Nick Bradshaw joins superstar writer Jason Aaron in Wolverine & The X-Men #4! After a rocky opening courtesy of the new Hellfire Club, school is in session with new students and new faculty joining the roster – including X-Force’s Deathlok.

From the ashes of Schism, comes Regenesis. All of which is brand-speak for "Wolverine has had it with Cyclops so he's taking a bunch of X-Men back to Westchester, rebuilding the school, and in case that's too subtle a gesture, putting a huge statue of Cykes' dead ex-girlfriend in the quad."

He's the best there is at bromance breakups, Bub.

Check out this advance preview of Wolverine and the X-Men #1 from writer Jason Aaron and artist Chris Bachalo, in stores October 26!

Spinning directly out of X-MEN: SCHISM, the X-Men are split in two. In the oversized debut issue of the new ongoing flagship X-series, Wolverine takes one half of the X-Men back to?Westchester to start over again. But the new Hellfire Club outlast its first day?

Join Marvel Architect Jason Aaron (X-MEN: SCHISM,?WOLVERINE) and legendary X-Artist Chris Bachalo (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, GENERATION X) for a brand new action-packed take on the X-Men that will set a new standard for the Children of the Atom.

"I've got your Dead Poet's Society right here, Bub."

He's the best there is at what he does - and what he does is put the 'pal' in 'Principal'??

Meet Headmaster Wolverine, who will apparently be molding young minds at the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning, a name that will doubtless serve as insult to injury to Scott Summers, as Regenesis sees the two X-Men split up into two factions. Cyclops will remain on Utopia in the relaunched Uncanny X-Men, while Logan will set up shop in Westchester with his team - that happens to include pretty much all of Cyke's family, and heading up the new school, in Wolverine and the X-Men.

Heavy stuff. So apparently I'm not the only one who thinks that Scott Summers has evolved into a huge tool.

Class is in session when Wolverine and the X-Men #1 hits stores next month.

After one of the longest teases ever, the X-teams who will be leaving Utopia for Westchester under Wolverine's leadership after the events of Schism - also known as the 'Gold Team' - have been revealed.

Wolverine seems to have made off with Cyclops' entire family, that's gotta sting.

Whose side are you on? Which team will you choose?

Marvel has released more images for Regenesis, the upcoming post-Schism event which divides the X-Men members and titles into two camps: some will follow Cyclops, presumably on Utopia, spearheaded by the relaunched Uncanny X-Men #1. The others will follow Logan, beginning with the launch of Wolverine and the X-Men #1.

The promotional images continue to be focused on a single character, with silhouettes of their teamates in the background. The most recent image is the most obvious, as Nate Grey (X-Man) leads the New Mutants into Cyclops' camp beginning with New Mutants #33.

New Mutants joins Generation Hope and the Victor Gischler-written X-Men series in the Uncanny camp.

Wolverine and the X-Men, on the other hand, has so far only obtained the allegiance of X-Men: Legacy, not that there's anything wrong with that. More pressingly, I'd like to know where Logan's team is headquartered, and why everything looks like it's on fire. Is that someone's power manifesting, or are they located somewhere blazingly hot?

Thoughts, speculation, etc.? Hit me up with the comments!

X-BFFS: Bromance No More!

In the aftermath of Wolverine and Cyclops' falling out in Schism, the X-Men will be split into two teams (and two titles): Wolverine and the X-Men, debuting in October, and Uncanny X-Men, relaunching in November.

Marvel has released teaser images for the two titles, each showing a single team member, with their teammates in silhouette behind them. Wolverine is on the cover of Wolverine and the X-Men #1, launching in October, and curiously, Emma Frost - not Cyclops - is on the cover of Uncanny X-Men #1. Many took it as a given that the obvious team leader of Uncanny would be Cyclops, so his absence on the cover raises quite a few questions and has me anxious to see how Schism plays out.

Any guesses as to who's going to be on which team? or where the heck Cyclops is for that matter? Check out the images below (click to view full-size).
