From usatoday, PHILADELPHIA — Marvel's Uncanny X-Men— long one of comics' most tight-knit teams — is being torn apart by a schism between Cyclops and Wolverine to such a degree that something's got to give.
And it's the Uncanny X-Men who will do just that.
Marvel Comics is putting an end to the flagship title with issue No. 544 in October as the brutal effects of the upcoming X-Men: Schism mini-series rends the team apart.
"Well, as anyone who's watched the movies will know, the traditional axis of the X-Men has been the polarity of Magneto and Xavier. Xavier basically believes in peaceful integration. Magneto doesn't," said Kieron Gillen, who has been writing Uncanny X-Men since 2010.

That's just horrible and disrespectful.
Hmm. I think "Schism" is a pretty weak name for a groundbreaking, world-changing storyline. Not really up there with "Civil War," "Secret Invasion," "House of M," etc.
It's also probably worth mentioning that there are, like, six other X-titles still going strong.
X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, Uncanny X-Force, Wolverine, X-Factor, X-Men Forever, New Mutants, and X-Men: First Class.
Yeah but Uncanny is the only real X-Men title and it bothers me that they're ending it out of a gimmick to generate interest.
