How did Cyclops go from Professor X’s golden boy to his killer?

 

Scott Summers inspires hate and devotion.

Now Cyclops leads the mutant revolution in Uncanny X-Men. How did his go from Xavier’s heir-apparent to such a divisive character? Continue reading BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS On EVOLUTION Of CYCLOPS

Brian Michael Bendis (Uncanny X-Men, All-New X-Men) shares what’s next for Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magik and the new mutants who follow them.

 

In the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men and possession by the Phoenix Force, the powerhouse mutants were taken down a notch or more.

I admit – I’m not a big fan of the supernatural themed X-Men stories. I’ve never been a fan of Magik. Illyana’s history is confusing and she’s just not likable. There’s nothing redeeming about the demon sorceress/mutant teleporter with an evil persona – see what I mean – confusing, huh?

 

Brian Michael Bendis and Frazier Irving have changed my mind about supernatural stories and Magik in just one perfect issue. Uncanny X-Men #7 is a beautifully written and drawn story of sacrifice, identity and cry for help. Every hero has demons but Illyana’s are literal. Because of Magik the troubled kids at the new Xavier School learn how being a mutant can be hell – literally. Continue reading UNCANNY X-MEN Demon Therapy!
