First Look: CYCLOPS #1

This May, experience the ongoing adventures of young Scott Summers in CYCLOPS #1 – the all-new series from Eisner Award winning writer Greg Rucka and artist Russel Dauterman spinning directly out of the blockbuster All-New X-Men crossover “The Trial of Jean Grey”!

After clashing with the Shi’ar on the edge of deep space, Scott Summers is about to encounter the last person he’d ever expect to meet – his space pirate father!

Long thought dead, Corsair, leader of that intergalactic band of misfits the Starjammers, has returned! And he’s got a new recruit in the form of his son, young Cyclops himself! Scott Summers is leaving the X-Men behind to stay in space and learn a few valuable lessons from dad: 1) How to shave, 2) How to talk to women, 3) How to steal a Badoon spaceship.

even though I can't stand cyclops I might give this a try

1.) that reflection on the metal of his visor is awesome

2.) dat art

3.) squirrel girl?

This comic is going to be epic. A father/son space adventure with my favorite X-Man! The art looks great! Can't wait to see the 'lettered' preview!

I'm looking forward to this. I was a big fan of Cyclops before AvX ruined him by turning him into "revolutionary" Psychops. Plus Space Pirates. Who doesn't love space pirates?

It looks alright

I don't really know why but I'm just not getting that excited for this comic, whether its just because I'm skeptical on the prospect of O5 Cyclops leaving the team and going into space or what I just don't know...

@movieartman: More likely to be Hepzibah.

God damn it! The next artist to use crappy photoshops of a space background is getting hate mail.

yep. iam picking that up!

Yes, me too!

Dat Skottie Young cover.

Why oh why do the crappiest ideas (like the time displaced original X-men) get these awesome artists? (Not counting the one Greg Land picture.)

Also if that picture is showing Cyclops using his optic blast to move through space (and thus having recoil on his blasts) I have already lost all faith in this comic.

Why? His optic blast is a beam of force correct? There's no friction in space so it'll obviously make him move. Its the same way all man-made spaceships accelerate...

Yep.

*Punches Cyclops*

Hmmm.... I'm a huge Cyclops fan but I'm on the fence as to whether or not I want to pick this up. Might just get the first issue and see if I want to keep track of the series from there.

You're just mad that the Cyclops ongoing is going to be better than the current Wolverine one mwahahahaha.

Save that for Psychops and leave Kid Clops alone.

wouldn't it be great if this series was extremely successful and Cyclops got 4 or 5 ongoings...

I would love that because it would give me more fuel to rub it in Wolvies face :D

Yes can't wait.

Pretty much everything does in space

I honestly thought this day would never come, also why now? Out of all the times since he was created, they give it to him now that he's popularity got cut, like a lot.

Young Cyclops? Meh. Why not use the million times more interesting older version?!? I love revolution Cyclops! He is in my top 5 fave Marvel characters.

I thought this whole time that it was Cyclops the elder. Guess I wasn't paying too much attention. Looks alright but I won't be able to pull because I'm loaded as it is.

Not much of a Cyclops fan, but love the art!

@hawkguy:

The thing is, there is absolutely no pushback/recoil on Cyclops from his optic blasts. His eyes are portals to another dimension. He opens his eyes and the red stuff just pours out.

This is also why he doesn't break his own neck when he fires his optic blast (since the blasts extremely powerful). It's like opening a window. All it takes from him is concentration.

Imagine an astronaut opening the sun visor on his helmet and that somehow pushing him along in space. That's what is seemingly happening here.

Very X-Cited (Yes, I did.) for this series! I'm a very big fan of "Buddy Comics" (Cable and Deadpool forever) and what's better than a space-pirate father and his superhero son going on adventures in space?

@hassun: Even the slightest pressure will move you in space, if you farted or brubed you would move.

I've started getting more into Marvel's cosmic side, and really enjoying it, and that has me interested in this - I want to read more about the Starjammers because I'm not too familiar with them. That said, I don't really care about young Cyclops - I really prefer revolutionary Cyclops - frankly, I'm waiting for the O5 X-Men to go back to their own time period. I'll probably check out at least the first issue of this, but not sure I'll stick with it.

I wasn't going to get this, but after the way the trial of jean grey ended, im going to try it

@hassun: Ooooh i see, I had no idea. Its rucka so I'm sure he'll come up with some sort of explanation ;)

Here is my issue. I love Rucka the art is great but I have always despised cyclops. To me he was always a character I felt like I knew the endgame much like superman and captain america they will always do the "right" thing. AvX changed that for cyclops but it felt forced. I might have to try it but since they are doing a young scott summers is this going be the good cyclops or the evil cyclops?

You would get that from reading only the AvsX main where they tried to make him out to be the villain but he was brilliantly written in the Uncanny at the same time

Can someone tell me how Corsair died and came back to life?

Please Marvel.... no one wants these characters to stay for good.... this book should be about the REAL Cyclops.

They should have done this right after AvsX

Not bad, not bad at all… I'll give this a try.

I could never really get into Cyclops as a character. Something about him has always irked me. I might take a look at this but cosmic stuff is so hit and miss for me as far as my interest goes.

At first when Marvel announced this series, I was feeling meh about it, but after reading The Trial of Jean Grey, I was interested on how it was sort of set up. Young Cyclops wants to do something new and different away from all the controversy that is on Earth. I'm gonna give it a try.

@warshield: Lol! Nice counter gif!

@jonny_anonymous: That's what makes you made Bro, It's called a deadline and a shortcut. Get over it

Well, its a Rucka, so...

Emmm what?

i'll check it out.

@jonny_anonymous: Might as well kick your legs in that case, no reason to get dangerous with the optic blasts.
