I've finished the Schism until the end of this post. There are some continuity glitches, which I will explain as we go along.
First the whole Prelude to Schism series. All issues intertwine heavily, I've got a page by page recap, but then we have 34 lines or something. I think it's best to put the series in two lines. Roughly it comes down to this:
X-MEN: PRELUDE TO SCHISM v1 #1 / X-MEN: PRELUDE TO SCHISM v1 #2
X-MEN: PRELUDE TO SCHISM v1 #3 / X-MEN: PRELUDE TO SCHISM v1 #4
As for the placing, Jason and I disagree, as can be read in this thread for our discussion
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6079 I still suggest between Schism #1 and #2 does make most sense, but we could pick up this discussion again.
Here are my findings:
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #1
X-MEN: PRELUDE TO SCHISM v1 #1 / X-MEN: PRELUDE TO SCHISM v1 #2
X-MEN: PRELUDE TO SCHISM v1 #3 / X-MEN: PRELUDE TO SCHISM v1 #4
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #2 (p. 1-18)
Sentinels appear worldwide. Wolverine tells Five Lights to go to their rooms and class is over for now. Cyclops discusses Sentinel-situation with Wolverine. Rogue, Pryde and other X-Men fight Sentinels worldwide. Quinten Quire appears in the control room on Utopia. Wolverine and Cyclops fall out in their decisionmaking what to do with Quire. Hellfire Club Children obtain their gadgets needed for their scam.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #10 (p. 1-4)
Rogue seen fighting Sentinels on tv (treat as flashback on tv). Five Lights in front of the tv.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #2 (p. 19-22)
Wolverine drinking in bar. X-Men and some students walking over the red carpet towards the Museum of Mutant History. Hellfire Club Children arrive at the back of the museum.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #10 (p. 5-12/4)
X-Men in the museum before the press taking pictures. Oya and Transonic wander around the museum and talk to other students. All scenes until explosion.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #3 (p. 1-8)
X-Men wander around the museum. Emma Frost gets a psychic backlash, while in contact with Cyclops. Explosion. Hellfire Club attacks X-Men. Namor and Colossus majorly hurt. Transonic tells Oya to run. Emma Frost not in diamond form.
There are major discrepancies between Schism #3 and Generation Hope #10.
In Schism Oya and Transonic stand with X-Men as explosion occurs, while in Generation Hope they wander around the museum during the same explosion.
Chronology Oya and Transonic for this part and the part above is explained as follows. First press and photos X-Men. Oya and Transonic wander through the museum. Oya and Transonic back with the X-Men. Then explosion.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #10 (p. 12/5-13)
Magneto, Emma Frost and Iceman seen fighting Hellfire Club. Assuming Colossus and Namor fell down alrady in Schism #3. Transonic runs away, telling Oya to run (for the second time). Emma Frost in diamond form.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #3 (p. 9-13)
X-Men are taken down one by one. All of them lay on the floor with the Badoon brain slugs. Cyclops asks Oya for a report, Wolverine objects. Both make their way to the museum.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #10 (p. 14)
Oya hides from the Hellfire Club.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #3 (p. 14-16)
Oya reports to Cyclops what has happened. She asks what she has to do. Cyclops answers "you do what you feel you have to". Wolverine disagrees strongly. Cyclops and Wolverine argue. Defeated X-Men are taken outside the museum.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #10 (page 15-16)
Oya considers Cyclops' and Wolverine's options to fight or flee. She decides to kill the Hellfire Club Soldiers.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #3 (p. 17)
Oya kills the Hellfire Club Soldiers with her powers.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #10 (p. 17)
Oya stands among dead (and maybe wounded) Hellfire Club soldiers.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #3 (p. 18-20)
Oya outside. She faints and Cyclops carries her away. The museum explodes totally. Wolverine and Cyclops have a big fallout.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #10 (p. 18-20)
While Wolverine and Cyclops have a heavy debate, the Five Lights blame Hope for not being there. They all feel for Oya, who asks if she need more killings to make.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #3 (p. 21-22)
Cyclops and Wolverine witness a Sentinel forming. It wasn't a bomb after all that leveled the museum.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #4 (p. 1-9)
Cyclops and Five Lights back on Utopia. Wolverine and X-club fight Sentinel in SF. They lose and Sentinel leaves SF and heads for Utopia. Cyclops leashes out at Sentinel from the shore of Utopia.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #11
The Sentinel comes for Utopia. Five Lights at the beach of Utopia. New X-Men and Five Lights decide to fight and appear behind Ccylops.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #4 (p. 10-24)
New X-Men and Five Lights offer Cyclops help on fighting the Sentinel. Wolverine objects and sends them away. Wolverine and Cyclops fight each other viciously.
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #5 (p. 1-17)
The junior X-Men defeated the Sentinel. Wolverine walks back to Cyclops, after have spoken with Oya. He tells Cyclops he's leaving. Then there is a pause (because he then already leaves in a blackbird).
GENERATION HOPE v1 #12 (p. 1-12)
Zero is tricking Surge in eating a hamburger. Velocidad makes out with Pixie. Then the scene which also appears in X-Men Regenesis appears. So before that scene happens first.
The scene which is the same as in X-Men Regenesis will be treated here as a flashback. The chronology place will be the X-Men Regenesis issue.
X-MEN: REGENESIS v1 #1
All X-Men make a choice. They don't leave immediately. This is just the choice issue.
X-MEN LEGACY v1 #259
X-MEN LEGACY v1 #260
Here a lot of X-Men are still on Utopia, helping out Rogue to find Ariel. This has to happen before the last scenes where everybody leaves. Blindfold appears in #259 and she's seen in the blackbird leaving. Hellion had packed his suitcase in #260 to leave
already, but Rogue forces him to help Ariel. At the end of #260 Ariel uses a door to teleport her and Rogue to Westchester. Gambit is seen in the final pages of Schism #5, but that's not a problem, because not everyone has to leave at once.
GENERATION HOPE v1 #12 (p. 13-25)
Important scene is Oya leaving with a bag. And Cyclops trying to convince Kitty Pryde to stay for the kids of Generation Hope.
UNCANNY X-MEN v1 #544 (p. 1-16)
Iceman is the last to leave Cyclops. He gets in the blackbird and throws a snowball at Cyclops. The blackbird leaves.
It's a bit odd, because in Schism #5 Iceman stands outside with Wolverine, but hey…
X-MEN: SCHISM v1 #5 (p. 18-23)
Wolverine, Iceman, Kitty Pryde and the X-students are seen in the blackbird leaving Utopia. And some of them in Westchester at the ruins of the school. Cyclops and the Extinction team look out of the window.
UNCANNY X-MEN v1 #544 (p. 17-21)
The final scenes when Cyclops talks to Emma Frost and stores all the old photos of the X-Men.
Please let me know what you all think of it, it's a rather cluttered chapter in X-Men's history .
