This is bad. Just really, really bad. I hope this miniseries is not a sign that the wheels are coming off at Marvel since Axel Alonso took over from Joe Quesada, because “Schism” is worthy of some of the worst comics of the 1990’s. Everyone at Marvel would probably deny it until they’re blue in the face, but clearly, clearly, this mess was largely the result of editorial mandate. Marvel editorial, evidently unfamiliar with the concept of “overexposure,” believes that fans can never get enough Wolverine. So, Marvel editors decided that they should up Wolverine’s prominence in the X-Universe by putting his name on an X-Title, and perhaps create some consistency with the cartoon entitled “Wolverine and the X-Men.” But how to do this? Why, let’s make Wolverine a leader of the X-Men! But that would be kind of awkward since Wolverine is, after all, an anti-hero. Well, let’s clean his image up a little. I know! Let’s make him against teenaged heroes! Never mind that the X-Men comics have been about teenaged heroes since forever -- since literally the beginning of the franchise. Never mind that from the days of WW II teenaged sidekicks to Spiderman to the New Mutants to Teen Titans, teen superheroes have been part of the bread and butter of comic books. Which of the X-Men would possibly agree to follow Wolverine and his new, hair brained philosophy? Why, quite a few of them, including former teen hero Ice Man. We never hear Ice Man’s reasoning, and since it would have to be ridiculous, it’s better to just gloss over it. Wolverine does take quite a few of the teen X-Men with him when he leaves, so if there is going to be any action in the new “Wolverine and the X-Men” comic, Wolvie is going to have to go back on his word, and let the little sweethearts do some of the fighting.
Add to this the absurdity of the kiddie Hellfire Club. Apparently, the dramatic irony of having Wolverine turn against teen heroes while the X-Men are being attacked by tween villains never occurs to Jason Aaron.
The art for this miniseries has been its one bright spot, until this issue. Adam Kubert’s penciling is nothing more than adequate. Kubert’s depiction of anatomy lacks any sex appeal at all, with the characters often looking slack muscled and flat assed. Artists like Dale Eaglesham or Nicola Scott draw males with V-shaped torsos and females with an hour glass design. Very often, Adam Kubert’s characters have rectangular torsos.
