Revelations in this week’s Extraordinary X-Men #3 and All-New X-Men #1 spell out the fate of Scott Summers.
Cyclops is missing in action from the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now following after the Secret Wars finale.
The Terrigen Cloud creating new Inhumans is killing and sterilizing mutants. Storm created X-Haven to protect mutants her team has rescued. Beast is in the cast of Uncanny Inhumans trying to find a cure. Several mutants and Medusa talked about what Cyclops “did” that caused a rift between the groups.
In the first issue set eight months after the Secret Wars finale, we learned Cyclops did “something” that made mutants more hated and feared than ever. Mutants are also under attack from the Terrigenesis. The same Terrigen Cloud that creating new Inhumans is killing Children of the Atom.
A huge Star Wars crossover, a Batman/Joker story years in the making and Mark Millar’s latest co-creation are among this week’s new comic picks:
Batman Europa #1
The Dark Knight is infected and his only hope of a cure lies with the Joker. Who infected Batman? What does the Clown Prince of Crime really know. The arch rival race each other across across for answers to stop the invisible enemy in this long-awaited story by Brian Azzarello co-conceived and co-writes with Matteo Casali with artists Jim Lee and Guisseppe Camuncoli.
Extraordinary X-Men #2
Mutants are under attack from a new genetic threat. Where is X-Haven? What happens when Storm and Old Man Logan meet?

In the final page of Extraordinary X-Men #1, Storm and her team tracked down a presence that shouldn’t be there. They find Wolverine…just not the one they know and love.
From the cover it appears Old Man Logan will join up with Storm’s team as they try to save mutants from the threat of the Terrigen Cloud.
Will this Logan and Storm have the same sparks as before?
Did this Logan from an alternate future have the same romantic relationship with Ororo? This version of Logan was tricked into killing his fellow X-Men. How will seeing them again affect him?
Will the old spark flare up between Storm and Old Man Logan?
Storm fell for this older man since Logan was technically hundreds of years older than Ororo when they connected romantically but looked younger. Will Old Man Logan and Storm spark again even against the backdrop of a new threat against mutants?
Marvel put superstars Jeff Lemire and Humberto Ramos on the new flagship X-book and the future is Extraordinary.
After reading X-books for decades and seeing everything, Extraordinary X-Men #1 still made me excited and energized for the next evolution of the mutant heroes.
Set eight months after the Secret Wars finale and the events of Uncanny X-Men #600, the Children of the Atom are facing a new threat as humanity fears and hates them like never before. Continue reading EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN #1 Review

A shakeup among the X-Men as one leader vanishes and one rises as the mutant race faces a new crisis.
Cyclops and Storm have been the core leaders of the X-Men teams. Wolverine and Emma Frost have been co-leaders and co-headmasters but it’s always Scott and Ororo that are the ultimate commanders of Xavier’s legacy.
