Cyclops has been my favorite member of the X-Men since I was a kid. He looked cool and had a simple but unique power, which also gave him a bit of pathos. I think he is an interesting character and prefer when he is written as the solid leader that he is rather than a straight man for Wolverine or pining over lost loves. I really disliked how he was unceremoniously killed off in X-Men 3: The Last Stand and was hoping to see him given more justice in X-Men: First Class. Alas, that movie was a prequel and not a reboot as I had hoped, so no Cyclops this time around. It did well, maybe he will appear in the inevitable follow up.
Dave sez,
ReplyDeleteVery cool cover.
Since this is a Wolverine world, and we just live in it, I don't think I've really ever seen Scott at his peak performance....
X-Men / Titans was good...
....I remember when Cyclops was more popular than Wolverine. Anyone here remember their first appearance on Spidey and his Amazing Friends?
ReplyDeleteI am loving this return to Batman. Feels like home again.
ReplyDeleteWho can forget Wolverine's Australian accent on that episode!
ReplyDeleteScott is my favorite X-Man too, and seeing him on a cover with Batman, my all time favorite comic book cover? Gave me a smile on a kind of blah morning. Thanks as always for your awesome work.
ReplyDeletethis would have been a natural team-up. They are both rather grim sourpusses, determined, dripping with pathos (early childhood issues). Actually, I could see Batman trying to cheer up Cyclops, sheesh! Suggested villian: Dr. Doom gets a hold of the motherbox, which must be returned to Apokolips.
