Well, it's finally here, the much
anticipated (re)debut of Brian M. Bendis as the scribe for an
X-Men book after he turned the mutant world upside down waaaay back
in House of M in 2005. Now that catastrophe has been
reversed thanks to the recent finale of the much-hyped but really
mindlessly boring Avengers Vs. X-Men - which could have
been so much better – and the world is replete with mutants again.
When last we saw Cyclops (a.k.a Scott
Summers) in the genuinely awesome AvX: Consequences
mini-series, he was torn on what path to take – to be a martyr or
to keep fighting or to face justice for what he has done. It was
really well handled and the closing moments of that series lay the
base for this one with Scott having escaped thanks to Magneto and his
new allies. This series picks up that thread and shows us a
determined and motivated “Team Cyclops” who are now renegade,
kicking arse and taking names. I quite liked that and had been
waiting for it.
