Can't say anything bad about Cyclops.  He's the leader.

Fantastic piece of X-Men Soap-Opera!!!  Love the drama, it's what keeps them alive and me coming back for more.

Cyclops rules, and so does Grant Morrison's X-Men. Morrison really got to the heart of what makes Scott tick, and that messy affair, as this page shows, was a big key to unlocking that. Congrats on the page! Would one day love a Jimenez example as good as this one.

Claremont is obviously the GOAT when it comes to X-Men but Morrison is always going to be my favourite. I read New X-Men as monthlies during my formative high school years and it had a big impact on me. I love watching Morrison play with comic book tropes and they really brought out that while Cyclops might seem like a shining paragon he ultimately, though he tries to be, isn't one. It's a character archetype that was dropped on him as a kid and perhaps he's a little resentful of how his life has had to revolve around that definition.

In the 20ish years since (oh no, am I old??) Scott's been the rigid killjoy leader guy that people expect while also subverting that and changing into more of a radical civil rights activist than a typical superhero. It's an arc that I think rules and a lot of it is thanks to Morrison, who clearly loves Scott's character, then went and wrecked the everloving shit out of the poor dude's life like any great comic writer should.

Since you've already got an amazing Quitely page in your collection, I imagine finding a Jimenez one is going to be less of a mountain to climb haha!
