X-Men: Schism #1 (written by Jason Aarron and art by Carlos Pacheco), the most important X-Men event of the decade, releases Wednesday and aims to set the stage for X-books in the coming years. With their decreased population, times have never been more uncertain and dangerous for mutants than they are now. Humanity, despite the X-Men's best effort, still refuses to trust the mutant race, and anti-mutant fear and hatred only grows after a mutant-triggered international incident occurs. However, when mutant kind needs them the most, a split begins to form between two factions within the X-Men, threatening to destroy their entire foundation. Schism is the perfect starting place for new readers wanting to take a step into the X-Men universe. Each issue in this five part story will feature Jason Aarron teaming up with some of the industry's top artists.
Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Steve McNiven, Captain America #1 spins out of the shocking events in Fear Itself.

During the funeral of his friend, successor, and sidekick, a mysterious figure from Captain America's past returns with murder on his agenda. This return also uncovers shocking secrets from Roger's past and threatens to affect everyone he loves. Brubaker aims to give new and old readers alike one of the best Captain America stories to date.
