X-Men: Schism

Very impressed, best comic of 2011, right up there with Captain America: Hail Hydra. Jason Aaron's script is superb, the dialogue between Cyclops and Wolverine was both funny and insightful. The Carlos Pacheco artwork is borderline spectacular, and the splash and double splash pages of image only were among the best I've seen from Marvel since the Kirby glory days. Won't give away the ending but needless to say it's a jaw-dropper. At first I didn't know what to make of the whole Kade Kilgore plot thread, but it all came together in the end. One thing about 21st Century Marvel Comics--they know how to execute a cliffhanger and keep you jonesing for more. With 80% more Schism left, can't wait for the next installment.
